Hit and Run (2009)
Interesting story but movie is a little hallucinatory
One thing I did like the way the story took shape based on the accidental hitting of the guy. It was cool the way she took him home the bumper without knowing it. I was totally absorbed in it till she came home somewhere in the middle of the movie. At that point, she starts to have more and more delusions and though they were very vivid, I wasn't sure if what was going on was always real or not and I felt confused. Generally the lead Laura Breckenridge gave a decent indie-type performance as Mary the hit and run perpetrator. Most of the movie she's dressed in skimpy clothing with her cleavage hanging out. But still she managed to come across natural. Kevin Corrigan was not too bad as the hit and run victim-turned-killer. The action picked up mid way through and then it took off with a lot of road stuff. Overall, I'd say it's worth a look if you like the B movie sensationalist films.
I Am Legend (2007)
Legend?
This is probably the best Will Smith movie I've seen. But I am not sure that is saying much. It is the story of a man in a post-apocalyptic future. He has to fend for survival against these zombie like monsters who used to be human. There were some good moments. I liked the part where they capture him and tie him upside down. The whole crash scene with the car at the docks was well done. Unfortunately, the biggest problem I found was the CGI for the monsters just looked fake. It almost ruined the experience for me. In the theater where I saw this, I even heard a few other people mention it didn't look good as far as CGI is involved. The other thing I didn't like too much was the whole storyline with the woman and the child. It made a film that should be more action into a soap opera type of thing. That got boring fast. The thing that was the best was the fight scenes. I also liked how his apartment on Washington square is cut off from all the rest of the town, like a bunker. All in all, worth checking out at least as a rental if you like action sci-fi films.
