Today was Free Afternoon at the Movies sponsored by the City of Lakewood at Clements Community Center, 1580 Yarrow Street. Pick of the day. I Am Legend.
Come on now, you've heard of I Am Legend. It was in the theaters last year. What you may not know is that this movie is based on a book that was published while I was still in high school.
New York never looked worse in paintings touched up with digitized details. The movie moved along so slowly that I would have sworn that it was twice as long as the hour and a half measured by my watch. The remaining 10 minutes of the movie was made up of the names of artists and digital creators backed by Bob Marley's singing. Marley was an interesting touch but seemed somewhat out of place after what had come before. It was like finishing off the Clockwork Orange with Singing in the Rain.
Don't worry. I'm not going to review movies. This is just a zit of what I did today.
P.S. Two weeks from today, once more using the set-up of Ghost and Heaven Can Wait, the final June movie will be P.S. I Love You. I have to admit that it's much easier for a movie to make me cry that to scare me. That means a pre-trip to the john for a couple of paper towels before 1:00 p.m. when the movie will start.
