		<description><![CDATA[In September 2007, Kanye West made a major breakthrough: After conquering charts and capturing hearts with two huge, deeply flawed near-masterpieces, he delivered his first perfect album. Graduation, a daring synthesis of French house-skewed disco and the familiar feel-good hypersoul dude made his name on, was as relentlessly pleasurable as West’s previous records while simultaneously [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I was all set to write up a review for the new Bloc Party album, &#8220;Intimacy,&#8221; which was released online a month ago, with a physical release date set for October 28th. I held off on purchasing the record through Bloc Party&#8217;s website for ten dollars (with an option to spend twenty and receive [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m predisposed to like their new EP, My Bones, because a) the personal connotations I associate with their music are tied to a period of my life [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What I found most striking about this trailer from German filmmaker Michael Haneke&#8217;s 1997 film Funny Games was not that I recognized the shots that he would re-create in his shot-for-shot remake a decade later: utilizing the same font and punk-rock theme song; the same image of a family with pleasant faces enjoying a long [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Usually I try to avoid reading reviews of movies that I haven&#8217;t seen, as critics tend to give away too much plot and generally instill expectations in me that mess with my perceptions of a film while I&#8217;m watching it for the first time. I exercised even greater caution than usual with Michael Haneke&#8217;s new [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The trailer for Dan in Real Life makes me smile.  It has the editing just right, everyone looks like they’re having a good time at a family get-together, and there appears to be some close-knit relationships.  Even Dane Cook, who appeared to be giving a very toned down performance, looked passable.  I [...]]]></description>

*Spoiler Alert* Please see &#8220;No Country for Old Men&#8221; before reading.
Dear Adam–
What up, bitch?  Recently, you and I engaged in some dazzling rhetoric regarding this weeks DVD release of the Coen Brothers’ Oscar-winning “No Country for Old Men.” The two of us, along with the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why? Why why why?

As a longtime fan of Wes Anderson (I got on board for Bottle Rocket and never looked back) I&#8217;ve become accustomed to a certain sort of DVD release - specifically, a Criterion special edition, packed with special features and adorned with beautiful hand-drawn artwork by the director&#8217;s brother Eric. It started with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Heartbreak Kid, heralded pre-release as an hysterical Ben Stiller / Farrelly brothers reunion, hit theaters with the kind of thud that&#8217;s usually reserved for new Larry the Cable Guy vehicles, and it suffers from the same problems that typically plague dreck like Witless Protection: it&#8217;s stylistically undistinguished, suffers from terminally slack pacing and execution, [...]]]></description>

I thought the ending was tacked on and trite and thought all comparisons to The Godfather and The French Connection were ill-advised.  To me, American [...]]]></description>

The trailer was good. It looked like Nicole Kidman was trying to act again and I was looking forward to seeing Jack [...]]]></description>
