		<description><![CDATA[By the third time out or so, you realize that a filmmaker you’ve only been vaguely or even just accidentally keeping up with clearly deserves more particular notice –  and so you sit up and pay attention, remember the name, start looking for it on festival schedules, indeed, choose that name over others, becoming attuned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(Ed.: Today we have a welcome guest post from Nicholas Olson, who pens The Moviegoer.) Audiences were largely unsure about what to make of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love when it was released almost a decade ago. Part of the quizzical reaction was that it was not a standard Adam Sandler film. Even critics found [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[An abridged version of this review was published previously at Image.] It happens every January — movie ads fill up with boasts about awards they’ve won. In a few days, those boasts will start to include Oscar nominations. And The Artist is currently the most boastful of all. Filmmaker Michael Hazanavicius’s tribute to Hollywood’s silent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One problem I have always had with year-end list making is that it forces me to break up the little thematic and emotional connections that develop between films, directors, and genres over the course of a year of new cinema and rank films according to a different metric. Rather than a list, I would like to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are a number of different directions one can go when reviewing Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. We could protest (again) that Robert Downey, Junior is no Sherlock Holmes. He does not look like Holmes or act like Holmes. On the other hand, neither does any other portrayer of Sherlock Holmes, for in a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is a pleasure to announce that director Brad Bird&#8217;s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol is worth every penny of today&#8217;s high ticket price. In this moviegoer&#8217;s opinion, it&#8217;s easily the finest installment in an otherwise mediocre franchise. Moreover, it&#8217;s leaves X-Men: First Class, Captain America, and the rest of 2011&#8242;s glorified Saturday morning cartoons in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[FLATLAND IS A 19TH CENTURY inter-dimensional head-trip, still popular with math and computer geeks, a fantasy of a two-dimensional being whose mind is blown by his encounters with other dimensions.  (Among other things, he discovers that the elite of his own world knew about the existence of a third-dimension, but hid that knowledge from the [...]]]></description>

It is a sign that their grievance, nameless as it may be, has been heard and felt by someone else. There isn’t anything therapeutic about the chain of events that results in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time — 1979, to be exact — along a freeway in the southwest, a car carrying the Muppets broke down. And their pursuit of a dream (&#8220;to make millions of people happy!&#8221;) came to a crashing halt. So they built a campfire beside their broken-down car. Kermit the Frog walked into the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You could call Sigur Rós&#8217; Inni a &#8220;concert film&#8221; but that&#8217;s a bit of a misnomer. Yes, the 74 minute movie consists primarily of footage culled from the band&#8217;s performances at London&#8217;s Alexandra Palace in 2008, interspersed with snippets of the band&#8217;s early performances, awkward interviews, and various antics. However, unlike many concert movies, there&#8217;s no sense of [...]]]></description>
