Legend

Finals are over and they went well.

I decided to switch it up this post and talk about movies. A couple of movies were released on DVD that are worth mentioning. Most of them trilogys. I bought The Ocean's collection. I saw the first two, but I had not seen Ocean's Thirteen, so I picked up the collection since I didn't have any of them. Ocean's Thirteen was really good. I liked it better than Twelve. It turns out Reuben is recovering from a heart attack caused by being being swindled by a casino owner. So Danny and his gang wants to get some revenge. It's awesome. There's the usual Ocean's comedy, and the awesome way they tell the story. If you liked the other movies, highly suggest you watch this one.

There was also Pirates of the Caribbean: At Word's End that came out a few weeks ago. I scooped up that. I liked the movie when i saw it in the theater. Personally, it was probably the best one in my opinion. I think a lot of people didn't like it because of the length. I think it needed to be that long because of all the stuff that was crammed in. So yeah. I don't think I need to tell you about it. It does have Chow Yun-Fat, who is an awesome actor who I think should do more American movies. He was in Bulletproof Monk. Another great movie.

One more trilogy. Just came out last week. Bourne Ultimatum. The series is awesome, and the third one is also sweet. I bought the collection because I didn't have any of the Bourne movies, The box is cool for it. It is like the Switzerland security box from the movie, and it includes a Bonus disk inside of a passport of Jason Bourne. I saw this movie in the theater too.

On a side note, I saw both Pirates 3 and Ultimatum in the first row of the theater on the first day... it sucked sitting in the front row. Especially for Pirates because the Grand has huge screens compared to the Carmike. The Carmike sucks here. On a side note of a side note, yeah Carmike has digital movies, and allows you to use Debit cards, but I pay $8.50 to see a movie and I have to sit through commercials. What the heck!? In theory, it should be free because the ads pay for the movie. It's stupid. End of side note, of a side note.

I saw I am Legend on Sunday. That was a really good movie. A lot of people didn't like it, so I'm going to spend some time talking about it. Maybe sway your opinion.

First off, the movie is based on a book, by the same name, and is the fourth (I think, maybe it's thrid) remake of the book. It is the first to have the guts to use the same name of the book.I saw the beginning of the 1950's version Last Man of Earth and it started out pretty good.

Anyways, the 2007 remake is about a a survivor of a virus living in New York. The virus has killed billions of people around the world, and turned millions into people who are argressive and revert backwards down the eveolutionary ladder. Sunlight has a strong affect against them.

Anyways, they're basically a cross between a vampire and a zombie. They want to kill the less than 1% that are immune to the virus. I think a lot of people were expecting an action movie, and were slapped with a kinda sad story instead. Yeah it had action, but it was sad.

Quite frankly, I liked it a lot, but i can see why people didn't like it because of expectations. The director did a great job with the movie. They actually shut down a couple of blocks of New York for the movie. The CG effects were put in the movie flawlessly. It's awesome. Will Smith had a big task of being the main focus of the movie with very few other actors/actresses in the movie. Will Smith played the main character, Robert Neville, and does an extraordinary job of doing so.

Anyways, I suggest seeing this movie and see if you like it. It's worth at least one watch.

Some movies that look good that are in theaters are that will be. Hitman actually looks like a good video game to big screen movie. I don't know. I haven't seen it. Lots of money to do that. I'll probably rent it when it comes out on DVD.

There's also Sweeny Todd a Tim burton film. That looks good. However I didn't realize it was a musical. Oh well. It'll probably still be good. I mean Nightmare before Christmas was a musical. There were a few others but I need to go.

Later.
