29 Dec 2007I Am Legend, the latest Will Smith movie, is based on Richard Matheson’s novel written all the way back in 1954.

Worst Movie of 2007: Norbit
Most people believe this movie sank Eddie Murphy’s chance to win the Oscar thanks to his great performance in Dreamgirls… of course by starring in this “comedy” that didn’t have any laughs and should be studied as a prime example of all the wrong stereotypes in America, [...]
