		<title>Some Recent Action Movies (now with Vampires)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pick of the bunch is Haywire, easily the best action thriller since the third Bourne movie, and more evidence of Steven Soderbergh&#8217;s astonishing range. The story of a betrayed covert operative, Mallory (played by MMA champion Gina Carano) wreaking revenge is hardly original, but Soderbergh has made an wonderfully economical little movie (coming in at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Melancholia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t think anyone has posted on Lars von Trier&#8217;s latest film yet, though I see at least one of us has expressed an interest in it. Has anyone seen it? We watched it last night and I&#8217;m still not sure what to say about it. I do know that what moved me the most, [...]]]></description>

		<title>What are you staring at?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Toward the end of Cristi Puiu&#8217;s Aurora the always unsettled and increasingly unsettling Viorel (played by Puiu) lopes into one of his daughter&#8217;s classes, disrupting a party rehearsal. He grabs her, to get her to leave with him, and in a prototypical long fixed take, the camera gazing at the action from just over and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Warrior</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hokum. Lots of good actors, but c&#8217;mon. Hokum. If you&#8217;re going to watch one rousing hurt-men-using-fighting-to-heal from 2011, watch Real Steel, which relishes its loony cliches. That said, I would happily watch another film, without mixed martial arts, that let Joel Edgerton and Nick Nolte mix it up. (Tom Hardy is smothered in Brando sauce, [...]]]></description>

		<title>List</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As in &#8220;lean,&#8221; as well as &#8220;enumerate&#8221;&#8211;I have missed quite a few potentially worthy films, besides not yet having access to a bunch of others. But, still: &#8217;tis the season. Great filmgoing (or dvdviewing) experiences of the year: Hugo The above is the only one likely listed in order&#8211;Scorsese&#8217;s use of 3D was so entrancing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Luck</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a little, happening to start what I expected to be 6 or 7 minutes of channelsurfing before opting for a book&#8211;and saw that HBO ran an early premiere of the new Milch/Mann track show. Full of hambone outsized sweaty scruffy performers and way too many introductions and a wee bit too much melodrama [...]]]></description>

		<title>Captain America: The First Avenger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t found a post on this film, directed by Joe Johnston (The Rocketeer), though I don&#8217;t trust our site&#8217;s sucky search engine, so maybe I missed this one. I sort of liked this, but it should have been a lot better. That&#8217;s a lame caveat I know, but in this case I think I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Point Blank is not Point Blank</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a new French action film. This is a category not unlike healthy fast food or Republican historian. It stars a guy with Barney Rubble eyes. His wife gets kidnapped, and there is a lot of running around. People are not what they seem to be! Or at least they aren&#8217;t to Barney, who [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Descendants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alexander Payne&#8217;s latest film paints three inter-linked stories onto a lush background of Hawaii&#8217;s leafy suburbs, beaches and awe-inspiringly beautiful coastal wilderness. The first involves the discovery by Matt King (George Clooney) that his wife Elizabeth (Patricia Hastie), who in a coma from a boating accident, had been having an affair. Elements of this story [...]]]></description>

		<title>Plane</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, Hong Kong is a long damn way from Saint Paul. I can never sleep on these flights, maybe grabbing 15 or 25 minutes here and there, although such dozes were made impossible by the barking snores&#8211;like a rhino, startled into scornful laughter&#8211;from the strange man next to me on the way home. I usually [...]]]></description>
