Yesterday, as planned, I had the irritating tooth fixed, a haircut and at the last minute, decided to give CGV Yongsan, my favorite place in the whole Korea, a visit. I saw a crowd gathered in the cinema lobby so I squeezed myself towards the center and was thrilled that there's an on-going promo for I Am Legend . I thought it was ultra cool since it's gonna be on Imax, a CGV member exclusive. They are giving away only TEN tickets. Good thing I packed enough guts to come up on stage and volunteer for public humiliation.
To make the story short, I won the most coveted ticket. Not considering the fact that I rock; I am a huge Will Smith fan and any follower of his should be able to name at least 3 of his well-known flicks shown in Korea for the past two years. I lied about watching Pursuit of Happyness though, which didn't matter much anyway; I got the answers correctly, albeit not in order, and I got to see the movie for free. Yippers!!!
The movie is legitimately entertaining and thought provoking. From the scale of 1 to 10, I give it an undecided 7. Although I immensely enjoyed seeing hot-in-sweatsuit-gun-yielding Smith, I still think there should be something more. Maybe because I was expecting for more action packed scenes? Or was it the ending? Was I asking too much for a free movie?
Smith is literally the only actor for the most part of the film (if you're not going to count the dog and the creepy creatures as actors). Yet, he totally carried the entire epic all by himself.
In a nutshell, "I am Legend" is a must see this coming holidays. It will make you think what life would be like without your loved ones...
Will you survive when you're the only one left on the face of the planet?

Lucky!! You got to see it for free! I can't wait to see it, hopefully we'll go this week. Mostly I'm a sucker for any post-apocalyptic movie, but I have been starting to like Will Smith a lot more over the past few years.
Have you seen 6 Degrees of Separation? I heard he was really good in that movie and was thinking about watching it.
I've been dying to see that movie, I even bought the book, but haven't read it yet. I love Will Smith, he's a great actor.
Have a great day!

Marissa, Will Smith is the coolest thing ever after cellphones. I would have fought tooth and nail to get free ticket for Will's movies. You should see it. It rocks!
Jane Doe aka Raven, you should and must watch the movie first before you read the book. You know how that goes. And I agree: Will is definitely an actor, with a hot ass to boot. I could marry him anytime. LOL!
ackchully i got to see it for free too, kinda (bwahaha kuha ba kole-hiya-la accent) dinownload ko siya via azureus and the torrent sites ... but after sam and i watched it on christmas day we thought "ay, yun lang?". after having seen 28 days later, I am Legend seemed like Will Smith's was a remake, not that I'm dissing Will Smith (cute cute) and NO you were not asking too much for a free movie.
Sana wag kang maging kasing labo ko, pagkatapos ng pasko. Love u diyosa!
Acckshuli, you sound like a virgin colegiala. Totally. LOL!
Napanood ko sha ulit the other night, sa DVX site. Tapos the following day, forward ko ke Bf ang link pero nidelete na. Hahaha!!! Maganda naman butt Will Smith di ba? LOl!
I swear I won't be labo kase naman lang sometimes my brain makes gala eh.
Wuvsss you, too Manang Bambit!!!
Hey! I saw it on Christmas day too! Actually, also for free from a divx site! Very suspenseful.
You talked me into it. I'll go see it.
Cheers,
WOW. Saw it. Loved it. Must blog it! Thanks so much for the incentive. I didn't even know the movie existed til you mentioned it! (I'm a media hermit these days)
Yay FWG! Will check your blog later. Happy New Year!
