I have a friend named Silly (Katie) and we have been best friends since we were 4 years old. We spend time together ocassionally, making bears, and doing anything our minds think of on the spot.

Extraordinary Measures
Movie Review: Extraordinary Measures
In the movie "Extraordinary Measures" based on a true story, John Crowley (Brendan Fraser) is at the peak of his corporate work. He can taste success with his supportive wife Aileen (Keri Russell) and his 3 beautiful children. However a fatal turn leaves John quitting his job and fighting desperately for his 2 youngest children Megan and Patrick's lives. They are diagnosed with pompe disease. A disease that causes failure to the body break-down of sugars, eventually disabling the heart and muscles, leading to potential death.
John is forced to team up with a very smart but selfish and stubborn doctor, Dr. Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford) to find a cure for his children. While Dr. Stonehill is only in it for the money and to prove his abilities to the public, he soon realizes how big of a deal this is to John. They must go to extraordinary lengths to come up with a life-saving drug for Megan and Patrick.
Harrison Ford does an amazing job in this movie as playing the part of a selfish, self-centred, doctor. His skills to act the part surely don't dissappoint. This movie has a similar style of writing to, "World Trade Centre."
The director Tom Vaughan does a great job of catching the emotion and tension of how serious this is. Overall, this movie is one you will love, leaving you emotional and hoping for a cure for the children. I suggest watching this drama packed film for an inspiring experience you'll never forget.
