We&#39;ve pretty much seen it all - to the point that nothing really bothers or frightens most viewers these days. And ever since Sept. 11, 2001, the idea of being scared by a movie seems trivial and silly.

âThe Eyeâ is the latest Western deconstruction of a successful Asian horror movie and it is louder and more literal than its inspiration.

The film has its genuinely hilarious moments.

â28 Weeks Laterâ is brutal and almost exhaustingly terrifying. It is also bracingly smart, both in its ideas and in its techniques.

I met an old friend for coffee in San Francisco yesterday afternoon, and had a few hours to kill before stopping in at the Wired reunion party. I didn't want to drive back to Berkeley because the weather was so crummy, and I was just across teh street from a movie theater and was just in time for the start of a movie that lots of people had been telling me to see. So I went. The movie -- The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, I had no idea what it was about until the movie started, then I remembered hearing a Fresh Air show about it and finding it too painful to listen to. Now here I was in the theater, not just being asked to listen to it, but being asked to live it. Through some very wonderful film-making, you feel as if what is happening to the main character is happening to you. Or more accurately, probably, you get the slightest hint of what it's like to be this person. My immediate impulse, one which I gave serious consideration to, was to pack up my things and leave. Anything would be better than spending three hours living this guy's life.  Two things happen over time: 1. You get over it. 2. They change perspective, and instead of being inside his body, you move outside it.  I think those two things are the story we all live as we mature and learn to live inside our own bodies, with their limits. You learn to step outside and see the humor in your predicament. The main character says he lives in a diving bell because it's as hard for him to communicate with other people as it would be at the bottom of the ocean inside a diving bell. The movie teaches that it's not much easier for the rest of us, even though we can manipulate symbols better. On the other hand, of course it is. The film develops a relationship between the hero and his father, between the hero and his own children, his ex-wife, his lover.  We strive for deeper understanding of ourselves and each other. But it may be ridiculously easy to find the only meaning that exists, without language, without intellect, by just being. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly should probably be the picture of the year for 2007, it's that good. But like all great art it shows you something truthful about yourself, and you may or may not want to see it.

âThe Methodâ is a funny film that touches on a corporationâs responsibility to society, the price of ambition and the persistence of workplace sexism.

âThe Hostâ is a loopy, feverishly imaginative genre hybrid about the demons that haunt us from without and within.

Whether you like or loathe Bruno Dumontâs movies, his unsettling vision of humanity stripped of cultural finery feels profoundly truthful.

Even if you don't suffer from claustrophobia or fear of insects, this movie may not be worth the trip.

Finally, a solid horror film from the US. John Cusack is in very taut form, playing the role in just the right key, and he makes the film work.
