I'm a huge fan of documentary's or movies based on true/real events and people.
I Am Legend - okay action, didn't care for the ending.
The Plot: Robert Neville (Smith) finds himself the only healthy survivor of a biological attack, as his fellow New Yorkers have become zombies. By day, Neville hunts the undead who walk the streets; by night, he barricades himself in his home against the mob gathered outside.
THE BUZZ: When it comes to kicking some serious alien, robot or (in this case) vampire butt, Smith has more than proven himself to be Hollywood's alpha and omega man. He'll likely add a tinge more humanity to a role made famous by Charlton Heston (and once envisioned for a pre-gubernatorial Arnold Schwarzenegger), and as long as he doesn't listen to his own songs while he lays waste to the undead, we don't expect The Last Man on Earth to be terribly lonely this Christmas.
There Will Be Blood - looks good.
The Plot: A story about family, greed, religion, and oil, centered around a turn-of-the-century Texas prospector (Daniel Day-Lewis) in the early days of the business.
THE BUZZ: PTA let it be known to all that he had trouble finding his next project after Punch-Drunk Love until he adapted a scene from Upton Sinclair's 1927 novel Oil! as a writing exercise. An entire screenplay soon followed, to which Daniel Day-Lewis soon attached himself. But we understand the film diverts from the novel somewhere at the halfway point ... does this mean we can anticipate firecrackers going off as a well runs dry?
No Country for Old Men - great action, dry humor, again, didn't care for the ending.
The Plot: A series of violent events ensue after a hunter (Jones) decides to keep the heroin and $2 million in cash he discovers amongst a pile of dead men near the Rio Grande.
THE BUZZ: Can anyone explain why it's taken so many years for the Coen brothers and Tommy Lee Jones to work together? They couldn't have picked a better story for their first venture, as this adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel conjures up comparisons to Blood Simple and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada; only the most ineffective studio could muck-up selling audiences on the idea of these three filmmakers coming together for a mystery set on the U.S.-Mexico border. TLJ has never had more momentum, as he follows up In the Valley of Elah with this, another buzz-generating role (he also adapted and stars in In the Electric Mist, Bertrand Tavernier's first English-language picture since 'Round Midnight). Meanwhile, Coen bros. fans can breathe a sigh of relief since it appears that the boys are back on solid ground; they wisely back-burned a pair of lesser-sounding projects for Old Men and Burn After Reading (as of this writing, BAR is currently filming).
Just download about 20 movies form a. b. vcd. I haven't seen a good movie in years.
