I Am Legend (2007)

British DVD Cover

 Here it is.. The First Movie to Ber the Original Title from the 1954  I Am Legend  novel by... Richard Matheson..  This book, the film is based on has had a few varied incarnations such as "The Last Man On Earth" in 1964 starring Vincent Price and Also "The Omega Man" in 1971 starring Charlton Heston. Warner Brothers acquired the rights to the story in 1970 and they produced the omega man.  In 2006 work began on remaking the omega man and giving it the  Official Title  "I Am Legend" further stamping their ownership on the original story.  Not that it stopped a 3rd party releasing "I Am Omega" around the same time, which oddly features Mark Dacascos in the lead role.

This gets as close to the book as anything that has been made so far that was based on the original novel.. And Will Smith does a great job in the role of Dr. Robert Neville....

Ford Mustang Chasing Lunch

When you have the WHOLE CITY of NEW YORK to your self, you can bet a fast car is not only an asset... but a right scream... And what better joy than a Ford Mustang..... To use while hunting for sunday lunch...

Lunch Trying To Escape

With lunch in plain sight its foot to the floor action from the beginning as Dr. Robert Neville races round the city with his dog in the passenger seat. His only companion since the human race fell to the virus. A virus that he was trying to cure when time ran out.

Time To Race Home To Safety

 When the sun sets its best to be indoors and hidden in silence, otherwise crazed mutants will tear you apart and eat you. And all because the apparent miracle cure for cancer turned out to be a sentence of a nocturnal future with a thirst for blood and an apatite for living human flesh.. not that theirs much of that going about anymore...

New York Looking Overgrown

Hunting by day and being hunted by night isn't a great life style, but then all the shops are free... Would of been funny to have him trying to hire a dvd and someone had failed to return it & him going to the address to get it back, then spending a week tracking down all the UN-returned films in an O.C.D nothing better to do kinda way.

Cooking Up A Feast

They did broach upon the O.C.D thing with the Jar in the cupboard, im unsure if that was merely coincidence or if they were paying a little homage to Heston's portrayal of the character.  Was also odd how "The Last Man On Earth" and "I Am Legend" had the inclusion of the Dog within the story line, yet "The Omega Man" never had that aspect.

Also unlike the other 2 movies, The Infected don't no where Dr. Robert Neville lives, yet in the previous 2 incarnations of this novel, they gather outside his home and taunt him all night long.  The reflection in the mirror concept also doesn't come into play in this version, although i would say that's a good thing to be honest.

Trying To CURE The Infected And Trying To KILL The Infected

Neville The Scientist

Neville The Survivor

I sadly felt pretty ripped off by the DVD release for this film 

UK Region 2 DVD Main Menu Screen Shot

Mainly because it essentially has no real tasty extras, yet the Blue-ray release contains an Alternate Ending, an ending that left it even more open for a sequel than what the final ending does.  The DVD does however feature 4 Animated Comics "Death As A Gift" "Isolation" "Sacrificing The Few For The Many" and "Shelter"

UK Region 2 DVD Comic Selection Screen

Jinghua Xu, Can No Longer Take The Loneliness

  

Comic 1 "Death As A Gift" is about a girl called Jinghua Xu, and she is the only living survivor in Hong Kong... 

That also means she had a natural immunity to the virus. The animation runs for just under 3 minuets and also has music to it.

Maximum Security Prison Colorado U.S.A

 Comic 2 "Isolation" Based in a Colorado Prison in the United States, housing a total of 430 inmates. (the 2009 BBC Survivors remake had a similar feel to this with the "Tom Price" character in prison, and all around him are getting ill & dying) This ones approx 6 & half minuets long, has music and talking. It also broaches on the subject of the rich and famous hiding out, secure in a prison during the Initial outbreak. AMC Walking Dead?

Clean Sweep Team Attempting To Contain The Infection

Comic 3 "Sacrificing The Few For The Many" Kicks off somewhere in Central America in a village were scientists are trying to find a cure.

More music in this one and some blood and guts to...

Approx 3 & half minuets. 

It's a true moment showing how we tend to destroy what we can't fix, before it destroys us..

In This Animation Their Outside In The Daylight To

Comic 4 "Shelter" Moving onto New Delhi India, sees a family heading for the basement & the daughter sneaking out to meet her boyfriend. This story is a lot darker than the other 3, lot more gor factor & much more zombie'ish in nature to

This ones approx 8 & half minuets

SOooo back to the Movie it's self then hey.....

Stunt Drivers Have All The Fun...

Hi... Check out Independence Day, I Hear Its Not Bad

 I do like this film, especially the aspects of his every day life, a some what normality in the home with the pre-recorded news on the Tv and the Rental DVD on the table ready to return to the store after lunch. To go chat small talk with the store clerk and the interaction with the manikins. A struggle for normality to stay sain

Playing Golf "T Off" On The Wing Of An Stealth Bomber

You think a former U.S Colonel would have a little more respect for the hardware, but i guess the driving range was infested with infected. So while the dog bathes on the sun, Robert is gona fire some balls right across New Yorks Skies...

Ive Come To Collect Her But I Will Eat You First

The infected are relentless, and when you've taken one of theirs to experiment on, then their nights casually looking for you will turn into nights hunting you by the 100's until they get back the one you have taken, after all, they are "The Family" right?

He Stayed Behind To Save His City He Can Fix This

Wondering along with just your dog and with only the sound of your foot steps, the dog panting, birds flying over head and nothing more to be heard... It must be very eerie living in a world of daily silence and nightly chaos...

My Name Is Robert Neville If You Can Hear Me...

I Can Help You...

I Can Protect You...

Because....

I AM LEGEND

That radio speech kinda reminds me of "Zack Hobson's" radio message on "The Quiet Earth"

And that classic "You Need Us & We Need You" Speech from the 1970's BBC Survivors

Anyways Gotta run.... They'll Be Waking Up Soon... 

Got To Get Home Before The Sun Sets

Look.. Their Goes One Of Them Now.....

Family Is Family

It's a truly amazing story.....

I Am Omega (2007)

British DVD Cover

I Am Omega.... Just what where they thinking.. or where they thinking : /   I am omega is one of those side line productions that tries to build a free audience by jumping on an up coming Hollywood epic bandwagon. It's not the first and i am pretty sure it wont be the last (you know when "Titanic" was in the cinema, 2 other versions came out at the same time to cash in on the audience. Also when "Twister" came out their was also 2 other movies released, hard to believe it even happened when tom cruises war of the worlds was released, not only that but The Asylum even spun off a war of the worlds 2 shortly after) So with that jump on the franchise bandwagon idea comes the i am omega from The Asylum, A company that seams to be able to make movies above a YouTube budget yet lacking any real originality in its releases :'(
This could of been a much better movie if not for the poor script...

Dawn of The Dead (1978)

UK DVD Front Cover

This is it... the movie we all waited so long for.... and like WOW, just how cool was this movie when it came out?   It's still pretty cool even by todays standards..
Fans had been waiting since 1968 to see an official sequel to Night of The Living Dead and then bang!!  10 Years later .. George A. Romero returns and blows us all away with this Epic & Now Timeless Classic follow up movie.

A star of this movie even created a Colour re-make of the 1968 film in 1990,  The All New Night Of The Living Dead   Just so fans could watch these back to back in Colour... along with Day of The Dead, Which looked further into just what happens to us after time starts to pass with no solutions to the disaster.
Romero also followed these up with Land of The Dead, Diary of The Dead  &  Survival of The Dead



There is no doubt that Romero truly is king of the Zombie Movie Business and his work has inspired many people to create their own Zombie Apocalyptic Movie's. Yet not many get close to the genre like Romero does.   Nor do many avoid the "we know what zombies are".    To quote Shawn & Edd  "Where not using the Z word"   it is a quote often overlooked in the British zombie movie Shaun of The Dead, that horror comedy which takes a stab and being as good as the originals from Romero, Yet also set's its self in history on its own fantastic merits. It's almost a bridge between the "Night Of - Dawn Of - Day of" and the "The Return Of"  genres....  It's a send up & a homage to Georges fine work & the work of  The Return of The Living Dead creators.  Shaun & Edd remind us that George tends to avoid the term Zombie in his movies.

Sleep While You Can...

The film starts off in a Television News Studio, while a few people debate just what should be done about this disaster and the victims of this apparent viral outbreak.. Some call for Quarantine, yet others say.... "THEY MUST BE DESTROYED ON SIGHT"

Are They Infected?

Are They Dead?

Why Are They Still Walking?

I truly love how you can watch the 1968 Night of the living dead and then watch this movie as though its happened again years later. It even gives the opportunity to slip Return of the living dead in-between the two, so that Dawn of then follows Return of, but then that said... you Could watch the 1990 Night of, then follow that up with Dawn of.... directly skipping the 1968 and the Return of... One could probably make an amazing 8 to 13 part series using the 1990, this 1978 and the day of (and 28 days later and the 2004 dawn of) and i guess a number of other zombie productions, into a mini series, giving it a Global Crisis Aspect and also who ever did it could shoot footage of their own to slip in-between, using the likes of radio broadcast and composting footage from one production to another via TV screens & Radio. Masses of Imagination is key to many aspects of Apocalyptic film making.

The Doctor Says "Exterminate Them All Immediately"

The Tv Presenter Is Our "Its Safe To Go Into The Water"

Two of our Surviving Hero's

With martial law now in effect, the occupancy of private homes is not allowed and anyone who has been bitten or has turned should be handed over to the authorities. the same as in Last Man On Earth.  But you can bet most people wont just hand over family members to be essentially killed for a second time....
But while police & soldiers waste time try to sweep areas of infected... The safe zones and resource centers are being overrun... by the dead.... 

Two more of our Surviving Hero's

The news reporter & her boyfriend, who just happens to be a helicopter pilot flying for the same studio decides the city is falling fast and it's probably time to leave the city while they still can, or before its basically napalmed.. or nuked as the case today would probably be today.

They hook up with Roger and Peter two of the police who were clearing the building... And Take to the sky's in the G.O.1 News Chopper

Zombie Killers

Zombies Dying

Stopping off for gas

Each encounter comes with it's own set of unique dangers... and in unknown environments.. it's a time where one needs to keep ones wits about them and probably work together in pairs, you know.. that essentially don't go anywhere alone and the dreaded cliche I'll Be Right Back... That moment in a movie, where you no somethings going to happen to someone, but you don't no who, you and don't no when, but one of them... is possibly going to get it in a moment....

Filling The Tank

It's Behind You

Revelation

Decapitation

Thankful

 The following scene has always been a controversial one,

First.. because it showed Zombie Children...

Second... they also ran / run when the door was opened..

He hears a noise behind the door, so he shoots (at average head height) 

then opens the door to be confronted by TWO zombie children

This is NOT the first time though that we have seen Romero zombies running

The first zombie in Night of The Living Dead clearly fights with Johnny

And he also clearly runs after Barbara and chases the car

Yet for a long time (even still today) many fans dismiss the running zombies

In favor of the slow melodic trance type zombies.

But fans should remember it makes more sense that fresh undead are faster...

It also Clearly explains how such a Disaster & Epidemic 

Could essentially brutalize a whole planet in such a short space of time right?

The Danger Never Goes Away....   It Just Slows Down Over Time

Knowing How To Put A Zombie Down For Good Helps Though

Flyboy Tired and Fed Up

Back in the air, nothing useful on the air traffic frequencies and they don't have a normal radio, So they have no idea whats now going on. Lack of sleep is never good when your a few hundred feet in the air at the controls of a helicopter, So it's time to find somewhere safe to land and maybe grab some food, supplies and much needed rest.

 A big Mall / Shopping Center, could be just what they need for a full belly and a nights sleep...
 

This is where the movie starts to pick up its pace, as our heroes touch down and realize what a gold mine this shopping complex is, ber in mind that... Not only does this place have everything you needed in a normal world, this is America, its got gun stores and ammo... Did i also mention the powers still on in the area.. must be nuclear... Warm water, food, bed stores... Paradise has been found..

If they can just secure it....

On Top Of The Mall

Looking Inside The Mall

This Doesn't Go Down Into The Mall

Looks Like A Free Lunch

Don't Knock Spam - It  Comes With Its Own Key

Only One Way Up To The Store Room

It's not long before the taste of spam gets boring and a choice has to be made... Explore the lower levels of the Mall and take a chance with the zombies, or climb back up onto the roof and fly away

(risking running out of fuel while looking for a safer more populated place) 

What would you do?

He needs lighter fuel, so i guess its time to explore the mall. I have seen two variations of this scene, One they just go out and smash & grab, the other.. they go out and look, and then they go back and look at the plans, and then go back out to smash and grab. This may of been extended originally to cover the missing scene with the zombie kids.

Both scenes were included within the Directors Cut Release.

 There is an odd editing continuity on this scene which was overlooked during post editing. The M16 Machine Gun that is laying on the floor is grabbed and thrown backwards into the store, Yet in a couple of following camera views its leaning back against the wall..  Oooops.

It's just something you notice when your paying attention to the details...

 But we wont judge the movie by a few editing issues right?

 

 With zombies still outside & inside, and more obviously coming (whether that's due to the smell of their brains or just the rotting meat in stores is irrelevant) It's clear that this place is a one off opportunity for a little comfort and normality.

 This mall will become home to our four surviving humans until external forces arrive to ruin everything they have worked for...

 So the plan is simple & its been decided.... Use one of the cars inside the mall to drive around and lock all the exits. Use the helicopter to ferry peter & roger to the haulage yard opposite, hot wire some trucks and park them across the mall entrances.. so they zombies can't swing anything against the glass doors (that are now locked)  Grab some ammo and guns from the gun store then go around and kill all the zombies that are now trapped inside the mall....

Then lets clean up and go shopping.....

Some light target practice with the shop window manikins, a little ice skating, a visit to the barbers for a hair cut & a slap up meal, sadly one of our four is bitten while locking down the mall and its not long before they need a bullet in the head  :'(

 Things soon start to get boring with everything you want at your finger tips, although the boredom is soon shattered with a CB Radio Transmission that makes it clear their is an army of bikers that want access to the mall....

And they will smash their way in, bringing zombies in with them as they cause chaos and destruction just to rob and plunder like pirates...

 One tends to hate this guy with a passion, until you learn he's the guy who is responsible for the 1990 Colour remake of Night of the living dead, then i guess all is kinda forgiven...

 I am not going to give any more away because if you haven't seen this movie, then its a MUST SEE

 The 2004 Dawn of The Dead Re-Make of this isn't bad neither....

NOTE: 1
When looking to buy this movie, try and get the, 4 Disk Ultimate set,
or at least the single dvd  Directors Cut
Their is a Region 2,  two Disk release but it doesn't contain all the same extras as the region 1 set
IE, to get it all, you would need to buy both the UK 2 disk and USA 4 disk set's
and what ever you do... DON'T  slip up and buy "Dawn of the Living Dead"  by mistake
it's NOT the same movie, and its also not much of a movie tbh.
