		<title>Star Trek</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Star Trek, the new film from JJ Abrams, incites the single greatest question that any movie can generate: “Is it any good?” It’s an explosive return for the longest running American film franchise, with an eleventh film now under its ever-expanding belt. Gone are all numbers and subtitles from its title; it’s a subtle hint [...]]]></description>

		<title>Watchmen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Watchmen, the new, well-overhyped film from Paramount Pictures, is as faithful an adaption from its all-too-revered graphic novel source as could be. This is both the film’s greatest success as well as its greatest flaw. Once considered the “unfilmable” graphic novel, Watchmen held a status of reverence which has placed it among the “100 Greatest [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slumdog Millionaire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Danny Boyle’s new film, Slumdog Millionaire, has emerged as the sure-thing Oscar-winning film of 2008, leaving audiences across America scratching their heads wondering just what the hype is all about.  Every once in a while, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences sends out its list of great-yet-also-popular films that give rise to big [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Day the Earth Stood Still</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To say that The Day the Earth Stood Still (hereafter DTESS) missed the point is the biggest understatement since a NASA official droned “Obviously a major malfunction” after the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger. Clearly, this is a film that has the dire hope that no one who watches it will have any memory [...]]]></description>

		<title>Milk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thirty years after the assassination of Harvey Milk, the first openly-gay elected official, Focus Pictures has released Milk, an effective, if long overdue biopic of the slain official. The new film stars Sean Penn in the title role, and the Oscar buzz started long before its release. For those who aren’t familiar with the story, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twilight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twilight, the new film based on the popular book series by Stephanie Meyer, is a film that’s made primarily for three groups of people: Fans of the books, teen girls and gay boys. It’s dark, broody, overly emotional, and broody. Yes, I said ‘broody’ twice. Trust me, it’s no accident. Since I haven’t read the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bolt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Walt Disney’s Bolt fills the need for a fun family film over the Thanksgiving holiday perfectly, and manages to provide solid entertainment for young and old. Imagine a film that’s a mix of The Truman Show (1998), Underdog (2007), and a little bit of Cats &#38; Dogs (2001), and you pretty much have the plot [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quantum of Solace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Daniel Craig returns as Bond in Quantum of Solace, the 22nd film of the long-running British film series, once again proving his ability to carry the weight of a role that’s already been played by nearly half a dozen other actors. Casino Royale (2006) successfully — and triumphantly — rebooted the tired Bond series with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While the naysayers of Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D will point to its 1959 classic predecessor, the new film succeeds in nearly everything it attempts. The only real down side is the fact that never really aspires to be more than a fun 3D escapist romp. To be sure, Journey has at [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before I spend any significant time in pontificating on just how bad The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (hereafter Mummy 3) really is, I should confess that I have a certain amount of fanboy affection for Brendan Fraser. It’s hard for me to not like one of his films. Alas, in the case of [...]]]></description>
