Nothing But The Best August 29, 2008
I enjoyed sound quality and the big band sound was outstanding, ole blue eyes wasn't bad either.
 I Am Legend DVD movie August 24, 2008
This was bought as Christmas gift so it's not been given to person yet. But it was on their list so sure they will enjoy it. Really I can't wait so I can borrow it once they have watched it. Love anything Will Smith is in. I'm sure it's great.
Good film August 21, 2008
4.5 stars. Now this is entertainment. Will Smith carries this suspenseful film effortlessly. I know many have complained about its CGI, but I actually found the vampire characters quite scary and believable. I'm not sure whether it was explained how Fred the mannequin was removed from store or why the vampire population weren't turning on themselves for food. Some of the plotlines were predictable but it doesn't mean they weren't still effective. Losing Sam caused a lump to swell in my throat. The thought of being completely and utterly alone was a bit much to wrap my brain around. My problem with the film was the same as most: the ending. The decision seemed so abrupt. If the tunnel was strong enough to withstand the blast then it was strong enough for him to hunker in and wait until morning to leave with the woman and child. Still this was a highly entertaining film.
 No Resolution, But Still A Decent Film August 20, 2008
As I viewed this film, it quickly become clear to me that two very different themes are being explored by director Francis Lawrence in this film, one that works and one that does not:
The first, more wide-reaching theme, is the fate of the human race, which Robert Neville (Will Smith) is working desperately to save throughout the movie. I can't tell you the state of humanity at the end of the film without spoiling some things, but suffice it to say that there is a good chance you will feel a bit let down by the lack of resolution to this theme.
The theme that works quite well, however, is how Neville copes with being the "last man on Earth". His internal struggles and outward devices (such as talking to mannequins, for instance) that he uses to keep some semblance of his sanity are intriguing, and Smith is a well-rounded enough actor to portray the wide variety of emotions his character must express.
Overall, then, this is a decent enough film (worth a rent), but lacks enough of a payoff in the end to be considered a real classic. I found this film to be much in the vein of J.J. Abram's recent hit "Cloverfield", where little to nothing is explained or expanded on...viewers are just supposed to live in the moment. Yet, with the way that Neville's family is developed in this film (unlike the anonymous characters of Cloverfield), I think that the lack of a conclusive ending was more apparent.
