I saw I Am Legend yesterday.

It’s not a bad film (in fact, it’s probably Will Smith’s best performance since Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air!), it just doesn’t have anything that original in it. I realise that many films rehash old ideas, but this one just seemed to be lacking any originality at all – from the empty streets of New York, ala 28 Days Later (OK, it was London), to the pretty bad CGI mutants, there was very little to make you say "hey, I haven’t seen THAT before!".

The big letdown was the last act. I won’t spoil it for anyone, but be prepared to be disappointed.

All said though, I Am Legend is at least a good chance to see Will Smith acting his socks off – still not gonna get an Oscar!

In other news, Newcastle lost again today (2-1 to Chelsea) but Dunfermline won again!

A 2-1 win over Stirling Albion means it’s three wins in a row – champions?!?

I’ll be back tomorrow.
