So I went to see I Am Legend this evening...

I umm, downloaded it off the 'net and watched it BEFORE Xmas, wasn't as good as I thought it would be. One of these movies where you see the best bits in the trailer, rest of it pretty average. Anyone seen Hitman? Sad to say, I actually thought that was better.

I give it a 6 out of 10

I liked it. main thing I wanted to know was whether or not she grabbed the HDDs with all his research notes, just one of the six would have been fine. Mot a lot of good getting a vial of non preserved blood if you don't know how the hell to replicate the conditions to save the world. Also, who would want to try and reeducate people who had been living as savages for all that time. And where did the wildebeasts sleep? and why the hell didn't he just get out of the car and stand on a roof and shoot the damn things.

I liked it. Mindless entertainment (anything involving a screen) should be just that!

I am Legend - 7/10 as someone else said he goes on about the infected being completely de-evolved and yet doesn't ask the question of how he got trapped

National Treasure 2 - 6/10 same bad story

Good movies to see..............my picks

Charlie Wilson's War - quite funny but based on a true story 8.5/10

American Gangster - quite long 8.5/10

Shoot 'em Up - average kill rate of about 5+ a minute as you would tell by the movie title. For mindless killing 9/10

No Country for Old Men -8.5/10

well i really liked it!....

i thought Will Smith was great...

the CGI was a "little" over the top, but i didn't let that get in the way of a great movie...

was it as good as 28days later?... no.. THAT was scary!

Hmmm...

The USS Intrepid is a floating museum in New York. Which includes an SR-71 as part of its display.

Liked the first 90% of the film. Thought the ending was shit.

New York: A violent, dangerous place full of degenerate sub-human beasts.

Small-town America: A homely place full of good, Christian, God-fearing folk who keep to the old ways and worship at the white wooden church before eating a helping of apple pie to give them enough strength to toddle off and pop caps in anyone who looks a bit different. Erm, I mean, zombie vampires.

Man the walls, men! Those Emo kids and queers from New York are coming back! Show no mercy!

Another review of Charlie Wilsons War is found here. When you consider the outcome of what Wilson and the CIA did, hard to understand where comedy comes into it. Quote " One important part of that recognition, studiously avoided by the CIA and most subsequent American writers on the subject, is that Wilson's activities in Afghanistan led directly to a chain of blowback that culminated in the attacks of September 11, 2001 and led to the United States' current status as the most hated nation on Earth." Hilarious.

There's also a book called A Legacy Of Ashes. All about the CIA and some of their worst excesses. Amazing (bad) some of the stuff they got away with in South America. Great PR machine hid some of the biggest balls up they were involved in.

Also saw 28 weeks later, thinking it would be groovy, but alas no, it was a directors acid trip. Storyline is fine, but the camera work, and always in the dark just weakened it... is 28 days any better??
