Flåklypa Grand Prix -> 8/10
One of the classic animation movies, made back in 1975. Really great, but not excellent.

I am Legend - 7/10
I'll be honest with you guys. I really enjoyed this movie up till the last 5-7 minutes. Granted they strayed pretty darn far from the book in almost every aspect, but as a stand alone story it was executed pretty well. It could have been a lot worse in other words. I actually liked Will Smith in this one, and I really enjoyed the way he reacted when Frank decided to leave the video store. In fact the way he interacted with the mannequins was pretty creepy, but in a neat sort of way. Just another way he had of keeping sane. Oh, and the CGI was bad, but I've still seen worse. I'm having a hard time seeing how they could get real people to do the things the infected did. CGI was just one of those necessary evils, though they could have done a better job with it. Oh, and the way they handled the strangulation scene was simply well done. In the end I still can't get over that ending. 
I managed to go see the IMAX version mainly with the hopes of seeing the Batman preview, but either they showed it early or not at all. We got there 5 minutes after the start time and the movie was already partway through the Mustang scene, which was also pretty cool. Can anybody confirm whether on not they are still showing the preview at IMAX?
While it's not a thought provoking story like the book was, it was still a pretty entertaining movie. Maybe someday somebody will make a true to the book version, but until then this one will tide me over. And hey, at least they didn't totally butcher this one like they did with The Golden Compass.

I saw the standard version of 'I Am Legend' and they showed the Batman preview (looks very cool).
I can't stand watching regular movies in IMAX after seeing 'Superman Returns' and '300' that way. Never again.

I'm going to see "I Am Legend" in IMAX on Thursday. I'm looking forward to it. This is a re-make of "The Omega Man" right???

"Knocked Up"
OK, but not NEARLY as funny as I thought it would be.
Started Ok, meandered thru the middle, and ended predictably.
Meh.

I'll give Atonement an 8/10 with the caveat that most movies I watch, in the theater, are inflated by a point or so. There was a killer tracking shot on a WWII beach as the British fled France; really good stuff.

I hope to see this movie as well as "I Am Legend," and "Sweeney Todd..." this week. We'll see I guess...

Indeed Mr. Webb, this time of year is good for flicks. I thought Atonement was better than I Am Legend, but it's really an apple to oranges kind of deal and depends what you're in the mood for.

I've already seen that one and it is indeed very cool. Heath Ledger is THE Joker. I was referring to the big 7 minute preview that was shot in IMAX.

I am legend 6/10.
They had the potential of a blockbuster with this, but ruined any hope of that with the dodgy CGi and rubbish ending.
