Actor, racer and philanthropist, Paul Newman has passed away at the age of 83 after battling cancer since 2007. Newman was best known for his acting, and his charitable work.
Among his charitable work, Newman has setup camps to let sick children take part in camp activities such as boating and fishing while they receive 24-hour medical care.

Heston died April 5, 2008 at his home in Beverly Hills, California with Lydia, his wife of 64 years, by his side. He was 84 years old.
I’d like to think Heston will be remembered for his incredible acting career (which includes one of my favorites, Planet Of the Apes) but he’ll most likely be remembered for his association with the NRA as seen in Michael Moore’s Bowling For Columbine.
Actor Roy Scheider has died at the age of 75 on February 10, 2008. Scheider has stared in dozens of tv shows and movies over the last 50 years, but is best known for his unforgettable role in Jaws, one of the greatest movies ever made.

If you love sharks as much as I do, and you haven’t heard of Sharkwater, you need to go see it. It’s only playing in an extremely limited number of theaters currently, but if you live in the UK you can see the UK premiere February 22nd (showtimes). I was hoping to see the film in Toronto this week (I’ll be there on business) but it is no longer showing. I guess I’ll just have to wait for the DVD release.
Check out the trailer below.

Three Mexican fishermen who spent nine months lost at sea, eating raw fish and sea birds, in a beaten fiberglass boat caught something they never dreamed of. Soon after their rescue, their story caught the ears of film-makers and the three men were offered a $3.8 million dollar deal to transform their story into a movie. The deal would give the Atlanta-based company an 8-year exclusive rights deal on merchandise, books, and film, but the deal hasn’t been completed.
“The $3.8 million, they said it could be double that. That is a base. That is still an initial agreement,” Aspericueta, part of a team of federal, state and municipal officials who led the negotiations on the fishermen’s behalf, told Reuters by telephone.
