...ticketed “Fiesta” event geared towards adults, which featured live music from Mariachi Veritas de Harvard, the Mexican roots band La Tuza, and salsa dancing. The Peabody has hosted festivities to commemorate the occasion, which means “The Day of the Dead?? in English, since 2002. Pamela Gerardi, a spokeswoman for the museum, said yesterday that the event was the one of the more successful “Dias” that the Peabody has held. “Every year it gets a bit bigger,” she said...

Throughout the first half of the movie, for example, the filming protagonist’s face is kept in the shadows, effectively reducing his existence to little more than the lens of his camera. But “Diary of the Dead?? is not without flaws. Despite the vérité style of filmmaking, it is difficult to believe in these characters as flesh-and-blood humans because their roles are stereotypical—or, if you prefer, archetypical. You have the buxom blonde, the serious heroine, and the hard...
