Ahh… my good old blog… what happened to me this last month or so… I guess I have been really busy. Okay, enough talk, down to business. I Am Legend starring Will Smith is GOOD. I mean really really good. This is one of the best movies I have seen this year. I am a fan of all types of movies and I have to say that this is the first Suspense/Horror film that I have lived up to its billing. It’s been a long time coming. From Blair Witch to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre… None of them have stacked up. Open Water was the last Horror film that made me cringe… but that movie is more like a documentary. There aren’t zombies or mummies or some stupid guy in a ski mask.
Okay… back to I Am Legend. Why did this film keep me in suspense? I really don’t know… maybe it’s Will, maybe cause it has more of a Sci-Fi feel to the movie. Or maybe its because there is a SWEET Mustang at the beginning of this film. Okay, maybe not that… but it helps 🙂 I guess overall this movie had a more realistic feel to it. A lot of the action was shot with free cameras not tied to a tripod, which added to the realism. I also just had the feeling that, it could have been me all alone in New York. I don’t know… it just struck a cord with me (maybe cause Will is black too… lol). I give this movie a 9 out of 10. I’m making up for lost time on this one. Will did an excellent job selling this one and if you like suspense, add this one to the collection of good, kitty litter free, movies.
