picture quality could be better, continuity issues
I have always admired Vincent Price and his many accomplishments. So when the opportunity arrived to by some of his films on DVD at a terrific price, I grabbed it. One of those movies is "The Last Man on Earth". If the plot sounds familiar, it's ...
The Will Smith vehicle I Am Legend was the first adaptation of Richard Matheson's book to use its original name, but it was actually the third official adaptation of the story (not counting films with similar premises, or rip-offs, such as The ...
