...films that Glover is working on isn't quite finished, but he has shown part of What Is It? in small theaters around the country, along with a slide show and presentation. Most of the actors in the film have Down syndrome, and the images supposedly make Luis Bunuel's films look like Home Alone.

The result is an edgy, watchable film, but one that makes you feel more squeamish than screamish...
...with a new soundtrack in the 80s. But by focusing solely on Metropolis, viewers fail to realize the importance of Lang’s many other films. His great silent films such as Destiny (1921), Dr. Mabuse the Gambler (1922), and Die Nibelungen (1923-24) should not be ignored.
