    For all intents and purposes, "28 Years Later" is a zombie movie. And when it comes to zombie movies, all roads lead from "Night Of The Living Dead." The classic from 1968 is directed by George Romero, and it set a terrifying template for all the zombie and wannabe zombie films that have followed. Currently playing in theaters, "28 Years Later" is the sequel to the masterful "28 Days Later" from 2002, as well as the good, but not great, "28 Weeks Later" from 2007.

    Films about a friendship between men are generally most successful in three genres. They are the western, the police drama, and the male buddy comedy. More often than not, some of the movies that are rooted in comedic sensibilities shift into stalker territory because one of the characters is unsure of the ground rules for two guys being good friends. Being quirky then becomes obsessive and all bets are off.

    “Baseball is played between the foul lines.”I thought about the above rule for the sport while watching “The Phoenician Scheme,” the new spy comedy by writer-director Wes Anderson. Essentially, the guideline to winning at baseball is to not be too creative and not be overly cute when playing the game. Anderson goes for breaking rules in a major league way. As his career has progressed, he has shattered the creative mold; however, lately he’s become cute to the point of being precious.
