It's Carol here to let you know what is new on Video. First off; Happy Easter! Hope you are getting to spend some time with your family this weekend. Our grandaughter Aurora, is spending the night with us on Saturday, and I am really looking forward to that. She likes to watch Stargate SG1 with my son Justin and my husband Greg. This week our big movie is "I am Legend". I liked this a lot! It is intense so if your little ones scare easy, you might want to put them to bed before your watch it. If you do like it, and I think you will, you should try "28 Day Later" and the sequal "28 Weeks Later" if you haven't already seen them. As always, I would like to say Thank You for renting your movies at Video Magic. Without our loyal customers like you, there would be no Video Magic. I hope everyone has a wonderful day and rents lots of movies from Video Magic :)

Your friend at Video Magic,

Carol Salyer

Trivia Answer 

Answer To Trivia

New York has been the setting for many futuristic/dystopian and disaster movies. The reduction of the Statue of Liberty to rumble -- as in director John Carpenter's 1981 film Escape from New York -- is a powerful visual. Kurt Russell starred as Snake Plissken in the movie whose events happen in the year 1997. In the movie, the entire Manhattan island has been transformed into a maximum security prison. The ex-soldier Snake is charged with retrieving the President after Air Force One crash lands in the havoc.

In I Am Legend, Will Smith stars as Army scientist Robert Neville. He is the last surviving human in 2012 New York City. A terrible virus has killed most of the planet's population. Neville remains, immune to the deadly virus. The film is based on Richard Matheson's 1954 novel of the same name. The book was first adapted into the films The Last Man on Earth (1964) and The Omega Man (1971).

Watch the action-packed thrill ride I Am Legend. It's new this week on DVD.
