Documentary filmmaker Errol Morris trains his eye on pet cemeteries, those who run them and pet owners who use them. It has its moments of humor and provides some food for thought on several subjects, such as the nature of death and the relationship between religion and business. But Morris has made better work. "Gates" bears some similarities to Morris's "Vernon, Florida," a carefully crafted, brilliant examination of some of the most interesting small-town folk ever caught on film. Morris has also made more, for lack of a better word, relevant films like "The Thin Blue Line," about an innocent man locked up in prison, and "The Fog of War," a study of former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara.
