Holy Shit! I just read that they are actually making a movie, staring Will Smith, of the book "I am Legend". I had heard rumors, but they have an estimated release date for the end of this year.

"I am Legend" was written by Richard Matheson, who wrote many episodes of the original Twilight Zone. The has a storyline that I think is so great. It gives the whole idea of vampires a different spin, much like what "28 Days Later" did for Zombies stories, except "I am Legend" was published in 1954.
I think the entry on Wikipedia sums it up best, so I think I will copy it here. I placed it under a cut for those not interested:

I'm such a geek. I just saw an ad for "Hannibal Rising" and my initial thought was that it was a movie about the Hannibal whom crossed the Alps, but it's about the Hannibal whom eats livers. That's one of the reasons I don't like movies, they always disappoint me.

I referenced War Elephants in this entry's title. Check out the Wikipedia entry on them. I found it interesting.

1. Big Top Pee-wee
2. Problem Child
3. Problem Child 2
4. Joe Dirt
5. Waterboy

These movies are in no particular order. Notice that I listed "Big Top Pee-wee" and not "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" which is a cinematic masterpiece and one of my favorite movies of all-time. "Big Top Pee-wee" centers around a circus being blown into Pee-wee's farm by a tornado, allowing for hilarity to ensue.

  Starz Entertainment Group is introducing a $9.95-a-month subscription service that will allow people to download movies from the Internet and watch them on their computers, portable video players and television sets.
The new offering, called Vongo, comes at a time when movie studios and television networks are rapidly expanding their efforts to distribute their content over the Internet, experimenting with both paid and advertiser-supported models.

This is what the rest of the networks need to start doing! Screw the cable and dish companies and go straight to the consumers via the internet. Now for the long term, I think $9.95 is a bit much, depending on how much this new service offers as far as content. But, I think once the newness and the novelty of the concept wears off, prices will come down and maybe channels will partner up to create larger online networks. This would allow you to get more bang for the buck.
Hopefully this will lead the networks to post their back catalog of shows too. I could see paying $10.00-$20.00 a month to get all of NBC's channels; NBC, Bravo, MSNBC, etc. and access to NBC's massive backlog of shows from it's history. Something like that would be worth it.
