I AM LEGEND
To the modern eye, the plot
for the 1954 Richard Matheson novel I Am Legend might sound something
like Cast Away with zombies. Truth be told, that's not a terrible
premise, and Constantine director Francis Lawrence runs with it in this
third film adaptation of the novel (and first to keep its title). Where
he takes it may not always work, but he makes sure we enjoy the ride.
Will
Smith plays Robert Neville, a virologist investigating a genetically
engineered cure for cancer that has gone very, very wrong. With most of
the world's population wiped out and a small remnant turned into
ravenous, infected carriers, Neville ekes out a lonely existence with
only a dog for company in the remains of New York City, hunting,
foraging, and exploring by day and shutting himself in at night. The
infected, as it turns out, are vulnerable to ultraviolet light.
Through
flashbacks we see how Neville came to be in this predicament, and how
he dedicated himself to finding a cure. Part of that involves capturing
infected humans for testing. In doing so, he incurs the wrath of one of
the local CHUDs and Neville soon finds out that these creatures are not
as dumb as they look.

The Great
Debaters
The fine cast of The Great
Debaters, this well-told, sane and safe drama directed by Denzel
Washington includes Nate Parker as Henry Lowe, Denzel Whitaker as James
Farmer Jr., and Jurnee Smollett as Samatha Booke. The screenplay
written by Robert Eisele chronicles just one of the achievements of
Melvin B. Tolson, debate coach extraordinaire, during his tenure at a
small black college in 1930s Marshall, Texas. Wiley College was home to
Melvin B. Tolson (Denzel Washington) and the debaters he coached to an
historical winning season culminating in a Harvard debate. This movie
builds nicely to a final half hour that includes an anticipated
face-off.
Like
Medieval rivals lining up to joust, debaters regard their prey. Like
hearing the first bars of familiar Beethoven, you know what comes next.
Great debaters, like great composers, play with words; words as
weapons, words as melodious strains of a winning strategy. Debaters
must marry together pretty, powerful words that hit an intended target
the right ones transport, the left ones really strong sprinklings of
verses from history, literature, mythology, and life after all. The
best ones needed for bite. Thoreau made this movie, this drama about a
great debate as gift, possible. While I am not crazy about the title
The Great Debaters, I am crazy about this movie. It is a memorable,
old-fashioned movie that does not cook up convoluted concepts to
unravel or flimsy flashbacks that confuse. No, it is straightforwardly
simple, nonfiction storytelling at its best.

American Gangster
Call it the black "Scarface"
or "the Harlem Godfather" or just one hell of an exciting movie, but
the fact-based, 1970s-era American Gangster is already looking like a
major awards contender. Denzel Washington looms like a colossus as
notorious drug lord Frank Lucas, and in the still, watchful center of
his volcanic performance you'll find the measure of a dangerous man..
There's more good news: A combustible Russell Crowe channels Serpico as
Richie Roberts, the honest Jersey cop who aches to take Frank down.
Steven Zaillian, sourcing Mark Jacobson's 2000 New York magazine
interview with Lucas ("The Return of Superfly"), brings scrappy life to
a script that spans more than a decade. Camera legend Harris Savides
shoots on the fly, as if he'd sneaked into a Seventies time capsule.
And Ridley Scott, at the top of his game, directs like a man possessed.
Jay-Z did a hip-hop concept album, unconnected to the soundtrack, to
pay tribute.
