		<description><![CDATA[Some movies are like events that happen on the socio-cultural landscape.  They &#8220;go off&#8221; and you can observe their effect  through time as ripples of influence.  I am in the middle of watching a very depressing documentary about the excellence of the labor force that is being developed in India.  To [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The problem with a &#8220;review&#8221; is that it&#8217;s expected to be definitive.  I saw this film, and these are my thoughts.  Now here they are for your consideration.  Of course you&#8217;re free to draw your own conclusions, later.  But, nevertheless, here is my opinion, now.  There&#8217;s something that&#8217;s always bugged [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I caught Sin City on DVD the other night for the first time.  I was very impressed by how well Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino brought Miller&#8217;s aesthetic to the screen.  It was hard enough making the movie just look like the graphic novels, to judge from the making-of documentary included in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jeremy Irons gives his best performance on film (and, indeed, the best performance of the ’80s by anyone) as twin gynocologists who disintegrate after an actress disrupts the delicate balance of their relationship. Dead Ringers radiates a deep and numbing chill as it chronicles the descent of the twins into madness and drug-addiction, with peripheral [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Eddie Jessup (William Hurt) is a psychophysiologist who in 1967 is probing his own altered states of consciousness in an isolation tank, first in New York and then at Harvard. His assistant, Arthur Rosenberg, wires him to EEG and EKG equipment and tape records his accounts of what he is seeing, feeling, and experiencing. His [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

In 1986 David Lynch brought the suburbs into focus. Before Lynch they had remained slightly bland and indistinct, white picket fences and lush green lawns in the background of Doris Day comedies, Douglas Sirk films and television sitcoms. But in the opening shots of Blue Velvet (1986) Lynch announced that he was going to do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
What Charlie Kaufman has done (in films like Adaptation) that was so revolutionary was he began to exploit the capabilities of the film medium, both as capture and replay medium and as a medium through which “visual surrogates” are presented to our sight. In other words, in his movies actors become filmmakers themselves, the concept [...]]]></description>
