		<description><![CDATA[In my &#034;B&#034; review of Gomorrah last December I opened saying &#034;its dedication to [Roberto Saviano's non-fiction story] causes the film to lack focus as it spreads itself too thin by telling five separate stories.&#034; After seeing it a second time I still stand by this statement, but not as adamantly as I did before.

In searching for a way to describe John Woo&#039;s Red Cliff the best I can come up with is to call it exactly what it is, a beautifully rendered 208 A.D. Chinese epic living in the world of a John Woo blockbuster popcorn feature. However, such a description seems almost contradictory, but nonetheless [...]]]></description>

One thing&#039;s for certain with Robert Zemeckis&#039;s latest attempt at motion-capture CGI animation, kids need not apply. I have had conversations with fellow critics and the conclusion I&#039;ve come to concerning children and Disney&#039;s A Christmas Carol is that while some elements may indeed [...]]]></description>

If you&#039;ve seen the trailer you&#039;ve seen the movie. In fact, choose any scene from the trailer, extend it, duplicate it and give it no real reason to exist and you have The Men Who Stare at Goats, a film that&#039;s got plenty of laughs [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was talk earlier this year that it wasn&#039;t in the studios&#039; best interest to continue to release classic films on DVD/Blu-ray as the demand for them was dwindling and the cost of restoration was climbing. The article in question even quotes Warner Home Video senior vice president George Feltenstein saying &#034;most of the studios [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wim Wenders&#039;s Wings of Desire is able to capture your attention despite its sparing plot for the main reason you know its about something even if that something takes its sweet time in fully revealing itself. The film follows two guardian angels, Damiel (Bruno Ganz) and Cassiel (Otto Sander), as they watch over humanity from [...]]]></description>

While elegantly made, A Room With a View didn&#039;t move me that much, but I can say Howards End did a lot [...]]]></description>

In Michael Jackson&#039;s This is It we watch as the late King of Pop &#034;sizzles&#034; on stage. He lets musical moments &#034;simmer&#034; and his only concern is to ensure the audience is &#034;nourished.&#034; Jackson sounds as good as he ever has, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Tournament
QUICK THOUGHTS: The easiest question to ask before ever watching a second of The Tournament is why would the world&#039;s top 30 assassins get involved in a tournament in which the last person alive is the winner? Of course, you could say &#034;the money,&#034; but these people are in a rather lucrative business where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am always wary when the masses of online movie bloggers fall in line for a film. Such was the case for Michael Dougherty&#039;s long-delayed Trick &#039;r Treat, which was slated for a theatrical release as far back as October 2007, but was subsequently shifted to Warner Bros.&#039;s direct-to-DVD label and shuffled onto shelves for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Orphan is a terrible movie as it knowingly plays into all the horror clichés you can imagine, and does it twice, once to lure you into believing they won&#039;t bow down to convention and then a second time to show that they will. The film runs just over two hours, and requires absolute patience from [...]]]></description>

Mira Nair&#039;s Amelia is no more a story of the famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart as it is a standard by-the-book fourth grade telling of her life. Starting from the end and then giving us the Cliff&#039;s Notes on how she got there, Nair&#039;s film never [...]]]></description>
