		<description><![CDATA[I won&#8217;t comment about the Oscars (since I didn&#8217;t watch them) other than to say that the fact that Logorama won the best short film category is awesome. At least for now, it&#8217;s available through its homepage (slow, though) and these links: Part 1 Part 2]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s pretty clear that Avatar and District 9 are the best science fiction movies of the year.  Star Trek was very good as well, but in terms of visionary content and originality it can&#8217;t really keep up with the other two, which are both truly high-water marks in science fiction filmmaking and effects technology. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I saw Avatar in IMAX 3D, and I&#8217;ll be writing a full review of it for next Monday.  But what I can tell you now is that it hits a new high-water mark for digital effects, in my opinion.  Cameron has succeeded in creating a believable alien world that seems real in all particulars and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Idiocracy &#8212; Kevin Smith Rating:  2.5/5 OK, this wasn&#8217;t a great movie.  In many respects, it wasn&#8217;t even a good movie.  Mike Judge&#8217;s parody of the degeneration of mankind isn&#8217;t really in the same league as his classic Office Space, but it does have funny moments. The premise, clearly stated in a hilarious five-minute clip [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alien Nation meets&#8230; Cry Freedom? District 9 Rating:  5/5 It says something when after a movie is over, the entire theater sits in silence for a minute, and the silence holds as the audience files out.  This movie was very powerful; it took hours for the impact of it to fade to a point where [...]]]></description>

It isn&#8217;t. There are a lot of ways movies can get off track when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Slumdog Millionaire Rating:  5/5 When a movie comes along that lives up to its hype, I&#8217;m pretty ecstatic.  And Slumdog Millionaire had a whole lot of hype.  The Academy Awards ended up awarding it the Oscar for Best Picture, and it&#8217;s easy to see why.  This movie hits on all cylinders:  a gripping plot, smart [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Proposal Rating:  4 out of 5 stars This is a light and light-hearted summer romantic comedy, and for the most part delivers the goods, although it&#8217;s not without its problems. Sandra Bullock plays Margaret Tate, a bitchy Canadian book editor, who terrorizes her serf/employees and walks all over her assistant, Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds).  [...]]]></description>
