		<description><![CDATA[This less-than-seasonal post is brought to you by NVidia and their faulty logic boards. &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- For most Americans, stop-motion is something of a Yuletide affair. Don&#8217;t get me wrong; the surge of stop-motion in theaters lately has been extremely gratifying. Aardman Studios is stretching beyond their Wallace and Gromit brand, Laika is capitalizing on the success [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is often talk of framing our cultural experiences in terms found commonly in Christian spirituality. On account of this, we find film and theology groups that are structurally identical to group bible studies. We reserve watching certain films for certain spots on the Christian calendar, like annual Easter screenings of Gibson’s Jesus film. In [...]]]></description>

We are defined and damned by the crimes of the times that we live in. The Moors Murders, the Yorkshire Ripper, and [...]]]></description>

Rather than a list, I would like to [...]]]></description>

It is not my intention to lampoon this upcoming event, as I am happy to see any hint of good cinema becoming part of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hollywood&#8217;s remake of Park Chan-Wook&#8217;s OldBoy has been percolating for several years now. Steven Spielberg was originally attached to direct Will Smith in the lead role, but earlier this year, it was announced that Spike Lee would be directing Josh Brolin based on Mark Protosevich&#8217;s screenplay. While Lee struck many as a more appropriate directorial choice [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Hound of the Baskervilles was Basil Rathbone’s first turn as Sherlock Holmes—and one of only two Rathbone Holmes movies set in the Victorian era.
