...Hamptons. I admire, and share, the movie's extended interest in Neville's daily ritual as cop (hunting down the vampire-like infectees), woodsman (looking for animals that will put fresh meat on his table) and lonely guy (setting up a table each day at noon in case any undead survivor has heard his signal). Smith, whatever mood he's inhabiting, is a watchable actor, and he and the dog (who gives him an audience surrogate to explain things to) have a lovely, close rapport...
...vindictive fire-alarm-puller. A male social organization actually convinced a female social organization, mid-mixer, to migrate from Mather to the Quad. Harvard must have been demonically possessed this past Halloween weekend. Or maybe the entire student body was temporarily transformed into Crimson party zombies, the dark red undead.

...Planet Terror, Rodriguez's half of Grindhouse, a go-go dancer (Rose McGowan) loses a leg when zombies chew it off--wait, it gets weirder--and instead of a prosthetic limb has her stump fitted with a machine gun, which she uses to mow down acres of the undead. Death Proof, Tarantino's contribution, presents two trios of high-adrenaline chicks menaced by a psycho stunt driver. The women in both entries love guns and cars and don't mind using them for righteous vengeance and reckless thrills...
...their conjunction has only produced mystery as the IRS investigates the department of pathology at Tulane University's medical school. It is a mystery involving hundreds of thousands of dollars, the byzantine politics of academia, the plight of indigent patients and possibly the existence of an undead corpse...
