		<description><![CDATA[In counterpoint to the sound and fury that signals summer&#8217;s end, Dutch director Anton Corbijn serves up a quiet meditation on the loneliness of violence in The American. If The Expendables is a callback to 1980s muscle-man pics, and Machete a throwback to 1970s exploitation flicks, The American is a think-back, recollecting cold-war thrillers like [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can call Robert Rodriguez many things but subtle isn&#8217;t one of them. With his new film, Machete, he stirs up a hornets&#8217; nest of controversy with its timely political themes, satirical stereotypes and misogynist mayhem. But all in good fun. Danny Trejo as cutlery. One could say that this movie is an action-packed spoof, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Never let it be said that Sylvester Stallone doesn&#8217;t know his audience. After railing against the ascent of what he calls &#8220;velcro muscles&#8221; that he claims have defined action movie stars in the last two decades, Stallone resurrects the big-muscle action movie with his 1980s throwback, The Expendables. Not since Arnold Schwarzenegger&#8217;s Predator has this [...]]]></description>

Once upon a time, Mr. Cameron made a little film called Terminator 2: Judgment Day, which, to my recollection, did reasonably well for its day. The marketing behind the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ridley Scott is my favorite contemporary director. One of the few whose movies I will see by sheer virtue of his directorial involvement. His eye for photography is fantastic and his narrative pacing ebbs and flows like gentle surf. His education as a set designer has led him to create fantastic movies from the seed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the interest of full disclosure, I immediately admit that I am a Ridley Scott apologist. He&#8217;s one of only two directors from whom I eagerly anticipate a new film (the other being the brilliant Paul Thomas Anderson). Additionally, this review is certain to contain numerous spoilers, so read at your peril. When I first [...]]]></description>

Generally speaking, I abhor remakes, and the veritable plethora of them lately is enough to make me wonder why I bother going [...]]]></description>

Unlike a movie such as The Sixth Sense, wherein knowing the ending actually improves the narrative, knowing the outcome of Scorsese&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
