    Just wanted to leave a comment : – ) Nice questions if only I had a clue! And good luck to those who have the answers, now Go go go …

  2. LOL! As clueless as I am…it’s fun to try!

    1 – Mad Max
    2 – It was, ironicially, based off I am Legend by Richard Matheson
    3- 3978
    4 – Day of the Dead, Zombieland, Survival of the Dead
    5 – YES!

    That was my best shot at it. Great quiz Alesha!

  3. Alright, here goes nothing:

    1. Mad Max
    2. No idea, haven’t actually seen that movie either
    3. 2054
    4. Land of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Island of the Dead
    5. I didn’t either, but that was actually cool that he was blind the whole time and had it memorized from the Braille version!

    • Thanks for stopping by, Keith! You got most of them right πŸ˜‰ Oh, and I haven’t seen #2 either, but now I must!

  5. 1. Mad Max
    2. No idea
    3. Aw.. no idea
    4.Book of Eli, GOsh a zombie movie I watched the other day but can’T remember the name, I am legend
    5, No I didn#t know it was Braille. .

    Wow, Alesha. Cool trivia.
    Ok I just peeked up on the cooments and saw the zombie movie: Zombieland…lol

  6. Judge Dredd? “I am the law.”
    I Am Legend
    2114?
    Zombieland, 28 Days Later, Resident Evil Apocalypse
    No, you weren’t. Not only did I not see it, but it was totally inaccurate. Have you seen a braille Bible before? it takes like six feet of book shelf. You can’t carry around a small book that and have the whole Bible in braille. I was disappointed in that movie. It seemed like it had so much wasted potential.

  7. 1. Mad Max
    2. Based on I Am Legend by Richard Matheson
    3. 3978 AD (1968 version) 5021 (2001 version)
    4. Zombieland, World War Z (coming soon), Dawn of the Dead.
    5. Nope didn’t know that, guess I’ll send it back to Netflix.

    • Brian! I’m sorry πŸ™ I shouldn’t have assumed that we all have seen Book of Eli. *Kicking myself*

  8. 1. Mad Max
    2. I Am Legend
    3. 3978
    4. Night of the Living Dead, Day of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead. :-p
    5. Yes, i was. There was no freakin’ way he was blind the whole time! He didn’t act blind at all. Rip off! πŸ˜‰

  9. 1. Mad Max for sure!
    2. I am Legend by Richard Matheson
    3. AD 3978
    4. Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Planet Terror
    5. I was surprised, didn’t see it coming at all! I also thought it was a good plot twist especially for a movie.
