No Country For Old Men
I saw this movie for the second time last night and it hypnotized me the same way it did the first time. Javier Bardem plays the most unbelievably chilling villain (worthy of a Golden Globe nomination) that makes everyone in the theater uncomfortable when he is present on screen. The movie keeps you in its grasp with an unusual storyline and absolutely no music in the entirety of the movie. This movie furthers my opinion of how good the Coen Brothers really are at theatrical storytelling. The ending has made quite an impact on its audiences as people think there should be more to the story or some kind of alternate ending, but I think this is just what cinema needs are more movies that make the audience think and not live by the ever-present hollywood formula.
Very well done movie, with outstanding acting, and should probably be seen more than once

I am Legend..ehhh
1st of all, I like Will Smith. Ever since I, Robot and Pursuit of Happiness I actually get excited when I see a new movie coming out with him in it. I saw the preview for I am Legend last July and since then it has been high on my list of "must see" movies. After seeing this movie though I have to say that Will Smiths performance was the only part I was really impressed with. The story was a mix of 28 days later and cast away which was a good idea but just didnt live up to my expectations. Not to say this wasnt a good movie, maybe my expectations were just a little high.
Overall though, I would say 6 out of 10
good job Will, keep up the good work
