		<title>REVIEW: INVICTUS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If there is one scene in Clint Eastwood&#8217;s Invictus that is sure to provoke derisive laughter from cynical viewers, it is that which occurs just before the film&#8217;s long climactic sequence detailing the events of the 1995 Rugby World Cup final between South Africa and New Zealand. In this scene, President Mandela (Morgan Freeman) touches [...]]]></description>

		<title>Review: UP IN THE AIR</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I was at the Telluride Film Festival back in September, when Up in the Air had its premiere there (as often happens, the film had its first public screening at Telluride, shortly before its &#8220;official&#8221; premiere at Toronto). I didn&#8217;t see it then, but the people I knew who did were very enthusiastic, speaking not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Review: FANTASTIC MR. FOX</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Fantastic Mr. Fox marks two departures for Wes Anderson: It&#8217;s his first animated feature and also his first adaptation. Yet the film still  fits comfortably within Anderson’s filmography, exhibiting that peculiar quality of immaculate off-handedness that films such as Rushmore and The Life Aquatic share. Any fan of the original Roald Dahl book might be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Down the hi-tech rabbit hole of Avatar.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If Avatar is an environmentalist fable, then it is a failure. And if you want to read it as such &#8211; a liberal allegory pleading for humans to respect nature and the indigenous peoples who live in a symbiotic relationship with it &#8211; then, sure, I can see how Avatar is a &#8220;bad&#8221; film. I [...]]]></description>
