Everything else, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez and their retro-hip posse mean to supply: a double feature - two 90 min. movies, Rodriguez's Planet Terror and Tarantino's Death Proof - plus four "prevues of coming attractions" from Rodriguez, Rob Zombie (Werewolf Women of the SS), Edgar Wright (the very funny Don't Scream) and Eli Roth (the even better horror holiday Thanksgiving...

Filmmakers have spun some pretty decent political nightmares out of the fear of another Lincoln, McKinley or Kennedy assassination. The Manchurian Candidate, of blessed memory, established the format; The Parallax View, Three Days of the Condor, Winter Kills, JFK, Conspiracy Theory and last year's BBC fake-umentary Death of a President all ran cunning variations on it.
