This week we're checking out I Am Legend, a favourite of ours that's long over due for a review. This post apocalyptic zombie-esque thriller was an immediate classic when it came out in 2007. I Am Legend cleaned up at the box office, and for good reason. The atmosphere, cinematography, score, and performance by Will Smith were all totally rad! If y…

It's more Sword and Sorcery this week as we're taking a look at a movie with one of the most epic VHS covers you can find at the video store!
