A singularly authentic portrait

By John DeSando, WCBE's "It's Movie Time"

In The War Tapes documentary, Sgt. Zack Bazzi, who speaks Arabic, says in his videotaped section, "A good American will always love his country and be suspicious of his government." Although I usually look for criticism of the Iraq debacle, this statement isn't a criticism of neocons but a sincere, self-protective code of behavior.

No equal

By John DeSando, WCBE's "It's Movie Time"

''Hey, there's something down here.''

There is no equal to this horror film within the last few years. It's better than the terror of 2005's Wolf Creek, and while not having the epic quality of 2003's 28 Days Later, it scares you with class and restraint a bit like Open Water but inside the earth. It is a distaff Deliverance (1972), every bit as macho, every bit as scary in its suggestion of human and inhuman depravity.
