I Am Procrastinating

Advantages: More drama than you might think
Disadvantages: SFX are crud.

...My room is currently a bit of a mess. Clothes (clean) all over the place, few mugs with tea dregs in the bottom, half used tubs of Vaseline everywhere, a suitcase (empty) lying open in the middle of the floor and a guitar or two kicking about at the sides. Right next to the rather large pile of various coloured nail polish bottles (an art project I'm working on) lies a pile of DVDs I have come to known as Procrastination Heaven. Having exhausted every other way I could think possible to escape actually having to tidy (yep, EVERY way) I glanced at the pile. On the top was a film I've been trying to avoid just as much as the cleaning. After a few short moments (that felt like a lifetime of deciding) I finally convinced myself that I would just have to do it. The movie I mean. Well, I'll be damned if I am tidying without a bloody good...

I am the Legend

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...I am Legend was the 2007; sci- fi horror adapted from the 1954 Francis Lawrence, and a remake of the classic The Omega Man. The film starred Will Smith, in what was to be his first horror film. Opening in late 2007, the film grossed well over $500 million worldwide. Having heard mixed reactions to the film I figured I had to watch it for myself to see what all the fuss was about, having not see the Omega Man, I am Legend was a totally new film for me, I didn't no what to expect and didn't no the general backdrop of the film. Having seen the film I understand why people had such mix reactions about the film, however I thought it was one of the most decent horror films to come out for a while, and hopefully by the end of this review you will understand why. Plot: A deadly bacterial virus once used to treat the incurable cancer has...

I Am Legend - Wasn't legendary for me!!!

Advantages: Some good moments of suspense. Good scene setting.
Disadvantages: Lost it's story to some daft horror scenes.

...***I Am Legend*** This film is a kind of disaster movie; but not in the usual pattern that I was expecting. I enjoy watching end of the world type scenario's like The Day After Tomorrow or Independence Day - big action films, when humanity pulls together to save the world. However, although the film does centre on disease killing off the population, here the similarity ends. The 15 certificate is a clue that this is not family entertainment and the film is a lot darker than the aforementioned films. The main hero of the piece is played by Will Smith as Robert Neville who appears to be the sole survivor in New York of a plague that has rapidly killed off the inhabitants of the city. The film follows his search for other possible survivors; a search that takes years rather than weeks. Robert Neville is also a scientist (as luck...

I Am...Very Impressed

Advantages: Two hours of sheer entertainment - expensive production values and outstanding star
Disadvantages: Expensive production values equals expensive tickets

...ticket at Newcastle. The ?I Am? tour promotes the album Beyoncé released in late 2008, entitled ?I Am Sasha Fierce?, which explored another side of Knowles which she named ?Sasha Fierce? ? she calls this her ?warrior? side. However she includes tracks from her Destiny?s Child days and earlier hits in the set list too. The Concert You have to admire an artist who can open a show with her biggest hit ? most performers tend to keep the big songs for the encore, but not Beyoncé ? she chose to open with ?Crazy in Love? and from the moment the crowd heard her voice, everyone was on their feet dancing. What I was only vaguely aware of in the past was how good a dancer Knowles is ? but she proved it to me on this song, and many others. An added treat was her husband, Jay-Z, coming onstage to rap his part of ?Crazy in Love? as his wife...

Review of Beyonce "I Am..." Tour 2009

Alicia Keys - As She Is.

Advantages: Range of sounds, fantastic lyrics and vocal talents.
Disadvantages: N/A

...Since her multi-platinum debut album in 2001, Alicia Keys has just gone from strength to strength, and this album shows just how she has! Selling 742,000 copies in the first week, it was the fastest selling album in the USA since Norah Jones' - Feels Like Home in 2004. Her third album to date and by far her most eagerly anticipated, this album shows of the singer/songwriters wide range of talents and vocal skills. I am a great fan of Alicia Keys and owning both of her previous albums, I can realize how hard it must have been to top what she has previously released! "As I Am" is an album full of soul and comes right from the heart of arguably one of the best R&B/Jazz singers out there today. The album combines soulful ballads with a range of funky R&B tracks and some exquisite piano pieces with really do grab the listeners attention...

Review of As I Am - Alicia Keys

I AM LEGEND, yes you are!

Advantages: Very Enjoyable
Disadvantages: None

...I Am Legend. *********** I remember watching the original film 'The Omega Man', starring Charlton Heston. It was a bit poor and massively different from the book. This latest version starring Will Smith is slightly different from the book but closer to the mark. The story: ********* Robert Neville is the last 'Normal' human alive in the city of Los Angeles and possibly the last in the world. His mind is constantly prayed upon with doubts and agonies of why only he survived, if he should carry on alone and if there is a cure. Whilst out one day he encounters a wild dog but it soon becomes his companion if only for a short while. Every night he has to barricade himself inside his home with his dog whilst undead roam the streets. In the act of slaughtering as many of the undead as possible he fears he himself is becoming...

Keys The Superwoman

Advantages: Lots of diversity
Disadvantages: A couple of weaker tracks

...In 2007 the bluesy R&B singer Alicia Keys released her third album ?As I Am?, once again showing how unconventional methods can be input into the R&B world and still come up with great successes by combing her classical training with the mainstream sounds. 1. ?As I Am? (Intro) 2. ?Go Ahead? To get things underway, you have a track which has her combining quite a few of her various musical influences as you here clear indications of how the Jazz and Blues sides of her have come into play to get her through this song. The production is fly and engaging to bring you into the album and get you ready for what is to come. **Four Stars** 3. ?Superwoman? This was one of the significant t tunes to come off the album and it sees her doing a kind of track which we would recognise from her earlier works, especially from her debut cut, as in...

Review of As I Am - Alicia Keys

I am Legend

Advantages: great film
Disadvantages: great build up, but solved in no tme at all

...I saw this film at the cinema starring Will Smith and it was great. I am Legend, the film is about a break out virus that engulfs America. Robert Neville played by Will Smith is the last man uninfected left trying to find the cure to save the world before its too late. A good story line but the ending lets the film down. The build up and ideas of isolation are well put over, but 1 hour and 30 mins build up for a 4 min solution. I was blown away by this film from the start. Will Smith does a fantastic job of single handedly holding an entire performance together and displaying the emotional changes of a man pushed to his very limits, in a way that is both realistic and captivating. The only downside to the film may come in the final parts where the plot gets caught up a bit and the pace and message of the film seems to change...

I Am Legend

Advantages: An excellent storyline
Disadvantages: Mutants occasionally seem a little too much like CGI

...survivor in the city, which has been changed from the Los Angeles of the novel to New York City. Neville's only companion is his dog, Sam, who is also immune, or at least is immune from the airborne strand of the virus. Neville has to make sure that Sam doesn't get infected by body fluids, such as blood, otherwise the dog will also mutate. I found the film to be highly enjoyable. Will Smith is an interesting actor as he seems perfectly at home both in humorous roles (although THE WILD, WILD WEST was very poor!) and in serious roles - and this is definitely a serious role. It was originally earmarked for Arnold Schwarzenegger as good many years ago, but I am thankful that that version fell through as, much as I like some Arnie movies, I don't think that he would have had the same impact as Smith - it would probably have turned into one...
