Writers are trying to make zombies more human, with human like needs and wants. A great movie I saw recently was Warm Bodies which was hilarious and spun the typical dead zombie trope on it's rotting head.
I think this is an awfull idea. Subverting a trope for subvering's sake.
By definition zombies are mindless undead cannibals and vampires don't sparkle..
By making them less stupid and monsterios this remove the horor of one day the whole city/country/the world become overrun with decaying shambling corpses.
It also remove the power fantasy of surviving in a postapocaliptick world, loting and killing mindless monstrosities.
