		<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 vocational murder 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 [...]]]></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>

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[If, after watching the first five minutes of Shutter Island, you don&#8217;t know exactly how it&#8217;s going to end, then you haven&#8217;t seen enough movies, or even a good episode of The Twilight Zone. Unlike a movie such as The Sixth Sense, wherein knowing the ending actually improves the narrative, knowing the outcome of Scorsese&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If there is an inferiority curse that struck the odd-numbered installments of the Star Trek movies (a jinx that reversed itself after number 6), then surely there is a correlating and inverse malediction for the Harry Potter features. Perhaps the argument can be made that J.K. Rowling had only sufficient material to load four novels [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gut reaction: I came to Star Trek very guarded. After all, the much-celebrated J.J. Abrams&#8217; first attempt at film theatricality was the tedious and prosaic Mission: Impossible III, and his first role as producer was the emetic Cloverfield. The guy is a television entity with a television mind who thinks movies are merely television on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Clint Eastwood is probably one of America&#8217;s most mature contemporary directors, and I&#8217;m not talking about his age. Aside from Robert Redford, no other director is trustworthy enough to ensure that what goes onscreen will not be the stuff of a little boy&#8217;s fancy. In &#8220;Flags of Our Fathers,&#8221; Eastwood delivers what is arguably his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s no real secret that a movie&#8217;s rating can affect its box-office numbers. Receiving an NC-17 rating, for example, can mean commercial death for a film. But how are these ratings achieved, and who is responsible for establishing the ratings? These are the questions filmmaker Kirby Dick seeks to answer in his new movie &#8220;This [...]]]></description>
