Director: Matt Reeves Genre: Horror/Sci-fi/Thriller/Action Year: 2008 If you take the Blair Witch Project and inject into it a much greater budget you get this, complete with the headache that plagues you half an hour after watching the movie due to the (purposely) poor camera work.

Director: Ricky Stern, Anne Sundberg Genre: Documentary Year: 2007 :Though slightly misguided on its focus, precariously teetering between the atrocities taking place in Darfur and former Captain Brian Steidle, this film is nevertheless a significant and concise look at the genocide taking place on the other end of the world as I type this.
