I Am Legend…

I have no idea why but the first 10 to 20 minutes of I Am Legend came across as I Am Advertising.  From the bright red Mustang, the McDonalds sign, Wicked, and the promise of a Superman and Batman movie the advertising eventually fades.  I really did like this movie, that was just something I noticed.  Oh, and add that to the fact that Barilla pasta sauce apparently has a shelf life of over 5 years, but Will Smith only fed it to his dog so maybe it didn’t retain it’s earthy tomatoey goodness.  Now back to the choice of car…..Let’s break this down shall we?  You are the only person alive, in New York and you chose a Mustang?????  The guy has his pick of any car he wants and that is what wins?  A 2008 Shelby GT500?  I mean, don’t get me wrong, I like Mustangs (I used to have one) but you’re trying to tell me that you wouldn’t pick a Ferrari, Lotus, Lamborghini, Aston Martin (Vanquish), Pagani Zonda or some other top of the line ride??  Screw your arguments about practicality too.

So, I am finally getting passed all of the advertising and really enjoying the movie when BAM I am being sold a Bob Marley: Legend CD. 

 

 

Over all though I would highly recommend this movie because it is entertaining as all hell and watching Will Smith lose his mind is just hilarious.  "Will, why you gotta shoot Fred man?  He just wanted to go to the Library man."

There are several reasons to NOT watch Beowulf and only 2 reasons to actually go see this movie.  One is that it is the first 3D movie I can recall in recent history where you won’t be surrounded by little kids,  and second is….well ok so there really is only one reason.  Beowulf wasn’t that bad but let me stress that for it to not completely suck ass you MUST watch it in 3D otherwise it turns into a 2 hour advertisement for a video game that plays better on your TV.  As it is even in 3D it borders on looking like a lengthy commercial for every quest time RPG you ever played.  The story is borrowed loosely from the Epic Poem, and takes a few liberties.  If you want a history lesson this is not really your film.  Just remember Grendel dies, and so does his mother.   Beowulf never gets seduced and has some crazy shape shifting offspring, but I guess they needed to make the movie longer and more interesting.  And yea I know Angelina Jolie is hot and all

, but honestly……if you want to see her naked go watch Gia.

So my advice is if you just have to see Beowulf then see the movie in 3D, but you would be better off saving your money.
