I don’t watch too many movies - and the ones I do get to see are almost always seen at home (DVD or download). In fact, in the past four years (since my first kid was born) I think I’ve seen 3 movies in the theater… maybe 4..

Since I’m sure everyone cares about what I think about the movies I watch I will review them here. I’m wondering if I can strike a balance between being too long (nobody will read them, I won’t bother to write them, and my opinions generally aren’t that strong anyway) or too short (just a thumbs up or thumbs down).

Up first, I Am Legend.

This movie looked cool going in. Turned out to be very Cast Away-like. Parts of the movie were either really slow and somewhat boring, really scary (I’m easily scared by movies), or really interesting. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough of the interesting parts. In fact, the last 10 seconds of the movie seemed really cool and as it ended I thought, “man, I want to see what happens next.”

It was better than Sommersby but not as good as Tommy Boy.
