...Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Martin Scorsese, took their cues from a wide range of movie sources - Saturday-matinee serials, John Cassavetes improv dramas, European angst-athons - and if they got excessive, it was in kitsch and violence, not sex.

And just the right auteur-perps showed up for the job: Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) and Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill), plus a few other cult directors to provide zesty trailers of fake horror films. Rodriguez's Planet Terror is a zombie thriller with some bloody fabulous effects; it's fast, icky and smart. You can skip the second feature: Tarantino's Death Proof, above center, offers an hour of gaseous girl talk and an inane...
