		<description><![CDATA[As the 3D debate rages on, more directors are taking up the medium even as the public seems to be rejecting it. James Cameron promised great things with Avatar but delivered an unremarkable animated tale whose 3D was as flat as its characters. The numerous 3D films that flooded cineplexes in its aftermath did little to bolster confidence in the medium and the diminishing returns belie its usefulness as a legitimate filmmaking tool. Martin Scorsese is the latest — arguably the first — auteur to try to utilize the technology as pertinent to storytelling with the childhood fantasy Hugo. Indeed, the film is less about the titular orphan and more an ambitious defense of 3D itself. Of course, one has to endure over 30 minutes of conventional Dickensian hokum before Scorsese none-too-subtley reveals his true intention, juxtaposing the budding 19th-century film medium, and the initial resistance to it, with the current 3D renaissance. You see, at the time movies were treated as little more than a novelty, a passing fad, a frivolous innovation. Get the picture? Scorsese wants to convince us that 3D is as steadfast as hakuna matata, and there are moments when you almost believe he has. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recapping last week&#8217;s news in movie entertainment so you don&#8217;t have to. August 27, 31: James Cameron mouthed off about the misuse of 3D, specifically targeting Piranha 3D. Subsequently, Piranha 3D producer Mark Canton threw it right back in his face. August 30: Battle: Los Angeles director Jonathan Liebesman signed on to direct Clash of the Titans 2. The Faster way to kill your career. August 30: Shia LeBeouf turned out to be the most profitable actor for the studios. August 31: After taking two steps forward with Faster and Fast Five, The Rock took another step back into kiddie-land by signing up to replace Brendan Fraser in the sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth. August 30: The first set photos from Stephen Sielberg&#8217;s Warhorse were released. August 31: The website for David Fincher&#8217;s totally-not-fictional The Social Network went live. September 3: Machete opened to mostly positive reviews. September 2: M. Night Shyamalan revealed he&#8217;s working on a non-sequel to Unbreakable. September 3: The very violent trailer for Hobo With a Shotgun premiered online, presumably to show up Machete as a timid afternoon frolic. Cute Newt. September 3: New photos from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can blame the Internet. You can blame cell phone texting. You can blame email. Thanks a lot, king of the world I blame James Cameron. 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 movie conjured up a simple but interesting twist on the movie title for its teaser campaign by dropping the sub-heading completely and shortening the first word to its first letter, giving us the alliterative T2. It was a cute automobile metaphor that played off the fact that Schwarzenegger&#8217;s killing machine came off an assembly line, ready-made to maim, dismember and massacre. It was clever&#8230; once. Half a decade later, Roland Emmerich and company thought they could pull the same trick by abbreviating their alien invasion movie, Independence Day, to the nonsensical ID4, leaving one to wonder what happened to ID one through three. ID 7/4 would have been just as ridiculous and redundant but at least it would have been more accurate. With the rise of Internet movie blogging, the dam has broken completely and now everyone thinks they&#8217;re hip, cool and esoteric by acronym-ing the [...]]]></description>
