I Am Legend (2007)

Corrected entry: The first evening, Robert seals all windows with huge, thick shutters. But when he wakes up, daylight is shining on him.

Correction: He barricades all the windows and lays down in he tub with his dog and rifle, but he doesn't go to sleep. You can see that he's awake and listening to the zombies noises. He's afraid and has his hand on his rifle just in case they break in. Once the sun comes up, it's safe for him to open a window, take a look outside, and finally go to sleep in his bed. That's why you see him waking up in sunlight, it's just sometime later in the day. You can also see that he dreads the night when he's washing his dog and his alarm goes off. It's not a safe time for him so he has to spend each night in constant fear of attack.

I Am Legend (2007)

Corrected entry: Hand grenades do not create a massive fireball - even in a lab full of combustible chemicals, the heat from a grenade wouldn't be high enough to ignite them.

Correction: The flash point of acetone is -4 F and the flash point of diethyl ether is -42 F. Both of these could definitely be present. Either of these chemicals could generate a "fireball" above these temperatures. Ether is particularly nasty in this regard. I have personally seen an ether flame appear to "jump" twelve feet. Any flame or spark is all that is necessary.
