  • France Vs England

    Despite several of France's top players being ruled out at the moment, including Henry, Benzema and Viera it'll still be a tough test for England in the Stade de France tomorrow evening, not least because a number of our players were involved in two big Premiership games on Sunday. However, it'll be interesting to see how Mr. Capello organises the side, given that almost everyone is available for selection. Beckham will surely get his 100th cap, but it looks almost certain that Terry will take the captain's armband after losing it to Steven Gerrard. Capello seems keen to try a few players in the role prior to the World Cup qualifiers later in the year.

    Prediction: 1-1 with goals from David Trezeguet, who scored for Juventus on Saturday and is currently topping the leading scorers table in the Italian league; and Wayne Rooney, who was unlucky not to get a goal on Sunday.

  • I Am Legend

    The movie is almost exclusively shot in a deserted Manhatten where Dr. Robert Neville (Will Smith) is the sole survivor of an apocalyptic viral outbreak, trying desperately to maintain his own sanity whilst conducting research into a treatment to save mankind - No pressure then.

    It appears that the virus, with an exceptionally short incubation period, causes humans to undergo a genetic mutation turning them into hairless, ultra-aggressive, photophobic cannibals. Therefore, our hero potters around during the day with his alsation, Sam, and locks himself inside his fortified house, 11 Washington Square, from dusk till dawn, to avoid being eaten alive.

    The footage of many of New York's famous landmarks overgrown with months of weeds and trees shows that CGI can work very well - It was very believable and I guess this is one of the main things that held my interest.

    All-in-all, I'm glad I watched this but I certainly won't be watching it again. I'm not sure hows things are wrapped up in the book, but the ending of the film was rather poor, I thought...
