Have You Gone Yet?

Now officially receiving the BingBongBoom! seal of approval, garnering 4 stars upon first viewing, is 'I Am Legend.' If you still haven't seen it yet*, you're mad. It's fantastic, and I left the theater in a movie haze of epic proportions (ie, I could only blather on about the amazing intricacies of the film for the next thirty minutes before taking a breath).

Will Smith is spellbinding, sharing the screen with no one for 2/3 of the movie. I didn't see 'Pursuit of Happyness,' so I don't know how this performance compares. I also don't know how the Academy couldn't recognize this one with another nomination. (Oh wait, yes I do: because it's a 'horror' movie--but it's really not. They really need to get off their old butts and start expanding their selection criteria to more than just 'drama.')

*Yes, yes, I know I was late in seeing it, too, but it came out the night before we high-tailed it to Scotland, and it just came out yesterday on this side of the pond. I also got to pay just over $10 to see it--no thanks to the strong £ and weak $.
