Even though it was made in the 1960s, there really aren’t many movies that compare in terms of actual horror to the classic film Night of the Living Dead.

…become a good actor ever? Well, in ‘I am Legend’ (the tagline goes something like, ‘the last man on Earth is not alone’), Will Smith sure displays an enhanced acting routine. And that probably due to his constant exposure.
