  1. Shopping malls' greatest movie moments

    Shopping centers have always been about more than shopping. Before the rise of Internet-based social interaction, malls were a workplace, gathering place and pop culture petri dish for the better part of two generations. That made them the perfect backdrops for the kinds of films that filled the '80s and '90s — for the most part geographically ambiguous, lost-in-the-crowd tales of teen angst, budding (or imploding) romance, the everyman chafing under the yoke of social hierarchy and the bullies that come with it. In short, the mall setting was a grown-up version of the childhood playground — and, perhaps most important, a place that would look fairly familiar to everyone.

  10. '28 Days Later'

    The wonderfully, horribly scary movie "28 Days Later" induces the sort of physical reactions that these days are more often incited by the nightly news than the latest monster flick. You know the feeling &#8212; the moist-slicked palms, the fast-thudding heart, the sense that being here (wherever you are) is an exceedingly bad idea and you need to leave right <I>now</I>. British director Danny Boyle knows that feeling too, which is why he's filled his shrewd nightmare with rampaging zombies run amok in a world that from its fear to its follies looks an awful lot like ours.

  12. Movie review: 'Dawn of the Dead'

    Chicago Tribune Movie Critic
    1-1/2 stars (out of 4) "Dawn of the Dead" is a big-bucks remake of George Romero's grisly 1978 horror classic about a zombie army besieging an all-American shopping mall. But despite a big budget, lots of technical flair and a good cast headed by Sarah...
