Black Dynamite (2009)

They succeeded in their mission to replicate a classic blaxploitation pic. It was over the top and entertaining, but only to the degree in which the originals achieved. In other words, they weren't aiming very high.

I Am Legend (2007)


A twist on the zombie genre, much in the same vein as 28 Days Later, but less edgy. I'm not the first to say it was cool seeing New York deserted; overrun with plants and wildlife. Rather than another zombie flick, though, I would have preferred a drama about a man, his dog, and how he dealt with being the last man on earth. Maybe it could turn into a love story when he happens upon the last woman on earth. I
realize this was adapted from a book and two previous films, but can't we get something original for a change?
