Short: Just A Little Heart Attack
February is known for love and roses but it’s also Heart Health Month. Heart disease and your heart’s health is nothing to take lightly. Every year 715,000 Americans have heart attack (Imagine how many people in other countries). Out of that number 600,000 people die from heart disease. I never really took a second to even think about all of this until April of last year. My mother suffered a stroke. I’m glad I was able to reach her within minutes and rushed to the Emergency Room. As it draws closer to a year since it happened she is still not 100% but she has made tons of progress. Since then I’ve done tons of reading on the subject and have asked lots of questions. One day that I took her to a doctors appointment I saw this short film in the waiting room and I thought it was fantastic. Elizabeth Banks created this film to educate women on the subject and she did it in a way that has so much humor but with the main message still coming across awesomely. Don’t ignore the signs!

After a sucessful reboot of the Spider-Man franchise that hauled in $751 Million Worldwide the big question was “Is Marc Webb going to return to the directors chair?”. Wonder no more as it was just announced that he is indeed coming back for another Spidey flick. The other confirmation that was announced was that Andrew Garfield is going to be putting on the webshooters again as well.
Doug Belgrad, President of Columbia Pictures, made the announcement, stating: “We could not be more confident in the direction we are taking this new Spider-Man storyline and we are tremendously excited to be ramping up production again with Marc at the helm and Andrew continuing on as Peter Parker. We can’t wait to share what we have in store for Peter and Spider-Man with audiences worldwide.”
I’m sure that in the coming weeks (or days) we’ll hear more casting news being announced. The screenplay is by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci and based on a draft by James Vanderbilt. The film will be produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is set to swing into theaters in 3D on May 2, 2014.
