Things at Sundance get weird at midnight
![While many film festivals have midnight sections that screen outré and impolite genre films, there is something about Sundance's "Park City at Midnight" that defies expectations.

'George Romero's Land of the Dead'
![Back in 1968, fledgling Pittsburgh filmmaker George A. Romero unleashed upon an unsuspecting public a low-budget zombie horror picture called "Night of the Living Dead," which remains one of the scariest movies ever made — in 1999 it was even listed in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress. Successful sequels followed over the years, and now "George A. Romero's Land of the Dead" reveals that Romero remains the master of a genre he reinvented.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-06/18159895.jpg "Back in 1968, fledgling Pittsburgh filmmaker George A.

'Dawn of the Dead'
![Good zombie fun, the remake of George A. Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" is the best proof in ages that cannibalizing old material sometimes works fiendishly well. The story opens with a hush in a Milwaukee hospital as an emergency-room nurse (Sarah Polley) wearily moves through her final hour at work. Too exhausted to notice the casualties flooding into the ward, Ana returns home to her last untroubled sleep, only to wake to the nightmare vision of a child ripping a man's throat out with its teeth.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-03/11877302.jpg "Good zombie fun, the remake of George A.
