Metcalf's DVD Screening Room: Nov. 8, 2008
The movie "Eagle Eye" was released earlier this year but carries echoes of several previous films like "2001: A Space Odyssey," "North By Northwest" and "The Man Who Knew Too Much." The other movie in the screening room this week, "Three Kings," is relevant because it details the fight between good and evil at the end of the first war in Iraq.

Why is "Michael Clayton" so successful? It is completely self-contained and at its core, its ambition is to be nothing more than an entertainment. Just like a Hitchcock film.
