		<description><![CDATA[Alright, I&#8217;ll admit it. I enjoyed this film a lot more that I expected. Yes, there are parts of it that are patronizing (many caused from playing the younger brother for laughs), and the story is too saccharine for my tastes. But there are worse films one could imagine being offered on a long flight. [...]]]></description>

As a cinema lover, though, there&#8217;s a lot more going for Nine than just Fergie. But none was as big of a surprise to me as she – and the choreography of her number, &#8220;Be Italian,&#8221; with its direct [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The biggest reason for the smile on my face when I think about this film is that I cannot, for the life of me, explain why it is as good as it is. Like its central character (played by an actor I often don&#8217;t care much for), this film is an absolute train wreck. And [...]]]></description>

Well, that&#8217;s still about two hours longer than the story could sustain. You know what they say: when you try to pile teen angst onto an incredibly anemic script, you can . .

(And yes, the length of the film&#8217;s official title is annoying.) The festival centerpiece [...]]]></description>

That is, sadly, the state of things in the X-Men department. By the look of things, the film has left the caretakers of [...]]]></description>

Admittedly I have a love/hate reaction to Allen&#8217;s work. There is no doubt that he is a supremely gifted filmmaker, but Scoop is another example of his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This next film in my exploration of the Alexander Korda Eclipse box set, (after having seen Don Juan) provides another mild, but ultimately more enjoyable, discovery. The still image here of The Private Life of Henry VIII almost suggests King Henry as a vampire. Indeed, he did seem to chew through spouses at an alarming [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the ideas behind Criterion&#8217;s Eclipse series is to facilitate cinematic discoveries, to introduce unknown films to, in the company&#8217;s words &#8220;adventurous home viewers.&#8221; The four film set entitled &#8220;Alexander Korda&#8217;s Private Lives&#8221; had all the makings of a discovery for me, in that I had no previous exposure to Korda, a prolific director [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Behind the scenes of Surveillance sits an underdog story with considerable appeal.  A staggering 15 years passed between Jennifer Lynch&#8217;s directorial debut feature, Boxing Helena, and this, her second effort. Despite its patent absurdity, I rather fondly recall Boxing Helena, a film which is perhaps underrated due to its inability to stand up next to the [...]]]></description>

If there is any definitive proof that Hollywood is catering to the the least ambitious part of our collective movie consumption, it has to be [...]]]></description>

At first I thought the failing might have been making Foxx&#8217;s character, the Julliard musician turned mentally ill street performer Nathaniel Ayers, too quirky and flamboyant. But this is film based on real people, and the disc&#8217;s interview with [...]]]></description>
