Zombi (film Series)
The ''Zombi'' series refers collectively to horror films that have been marketed, in various territories, as sequels to either George A. Romero's Italian-American film '' Dawn of the Dead'' (1978) or Lucio Fulci's Italian film ''Zombi 2'' (1979). The latter was itself marketed by Italian distributors as a sequel to the former. A confusing history has emerged from the practice of reworking films as ''Zombi'' movies for release in different countries, a process during which a film may be given a different title in each country where it is released. In Britain and Thailand, these films were released as the ''Zombie Flesh Eaters'' series. In North America and Germany, the films became known as the ''Zombie'' series. The films maintained their original spelling, ''Zombi'', when released in Australia and other select countries. The ''Zombi'' series began when Romero's ''Dawn of the Dead'' film (released in European countries as ''Zombi'') was re-edited by Dario Argento and re-scored ...

Century City Civic Center
A century is a period of 100 years. Centuries are numbered ordinally in English and many other languages. The word ''century'' comes from the Latin ''centum'', meaning ''one hundred''. ''Century'' is sometimes abbreviated as c. A centennial or centenary is a hundredth anniversary, or a celebration of this, typically the remembrance of an event which took place a hundred years earlier. Start and end of centuries Although a century can mean any arbitrary period of 100 years, there are two viewpoints on the nature of standard centuries. One is based on strict construction, while the other is based on popular perception. According to the strict construction, the 1st century AD began with AD 1 and ended with AD 100, the 2nd century spanning the years 101 to 200, with the same pattern continuing onward. In this model, the ''n''-th century starts with the year that ends with "01", and ends with the year that ends with "00"; for example, the 20th century comprises the years 1901 t ...
