		<title>National Treasure: Book Of Secrets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[National Treasure, Book of Secrets, I hate Jerry Bruckheimer.  Jerry Bruckheimer has been responsible for some of the worst, most implausible movies in history.  Single handed he destroyed the Pirates of the Caribbean series.  All it would take is just a little restraint, a bit more plot and a slightly less complex [...]]]></description>

		<title>Water Horse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Water Horse, a kids movie.  You know about the kid&#8217;s movies that have deeper meanings or inside jokes for adults, well this ain&#8217;t one of them.  It&#8217;s pretty much for the eight to ten year old boy.  Not a bad thing but there is nothing much to hold the interest of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Charlie Wilson&#8217;s War</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Charlie Wilson&#8217;s War, if this is how things really work no wonder we&#8217;re in trouble.  Charlie Wilson, Tom Hanks, is a Texas congressman whose purpose in life is to drink and screw.  His office is staffed with beautiful albeit competent women with spectacular cleavage, in Charlie&#8217;s words &#8220;you can teach them to type but you [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Am Legend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I Am Legend, the third time is the charm.  This is the third adaptation of Richard Matheson&#8217;s 1954 novel, I Am Legend.  The first was 1964&#8217;s The Last Man on Earth,  which was fairly true to the original story.   I can&#8217;t remember this version if I ever saw it.  The second adaptation was 1971&#8217;s The [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Golden Compass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Golden Compass, an alternate universe.  Lyra Belacqua, Dakota Richards, lives at Jordan College, think Oxford, in a wondrous alternate universe.  A person&#8217;s soul walks along side in the persona of an animal, in children the animal changes as the mood and situation changes, in adults the  soul is fixed and reflects the nature of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Country for Old Men</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No Country for Old Men, the second worst experience I&#8217;ve ever had in a theater.  This is not rocket science,it aint&#8217; that hard, it&#8217;s a movie.  I paid six bucks to be entertained for two hours or so.  I don&#8217;t want to be perplexed or puzzled, just tell me a story. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beowulf</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Beowulf, just as bad as you remembered from high school.  A long time ago I had to read Beowulf in my senior English class in high school and  we had to memorize certain portions for extra credit.  I didn&#8217;t care much for the story back then and I really didn&#8217;t care much [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[American Gangster, the free enterprise system at work.   In 1969 Frank Lucas, Denzel Washington, is the driver and henchman for Bumpy Johnson, the drug lord of Harlem.

		<title>Gone Baby Gone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gone Baby Gone, if you do the wrong thing for the right reason is it still wrong?  A child disappears in the mean streets of Boston, the child&#8217;s Aunt Beatrice, Amy Madigan, is hell bent on finding her niece while the child&#8217;s mother, Amy Ryan, is less than enthusiastic.  The aunt hires Patrick [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, uninteresting people doing uninteresting things.  John Lennon once criticized Paul McCarthy, saying his songs were about uninteresting people doing uninteresting things.  Ditto for this boring dreary slog of a movie.  There is no humor, there is no action, there are no likeable [...]]]></description>
