		<title>The Shyamalan Groan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, at a midnight screening of Inception in NYC, the new trailer for Devil came up. The audience, obviously the target demographic, was wrapped up in it, very excited at the prospect of an enclosed horror film (strangers stuck in an elevator with some sort of supernatural element). That is, until the following title [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Not to Ask an iPad User About the iPad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps I’m a curmudgeon — okay I definitely am — on the subject of technological social etiquette, but honestly, the nagging iPad questions have to stop. The thing has been out for three months now, and there are Apple Stores aplenty to go and diddle with the thing for the overly curious. Still, I get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sex, Sight Unseen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don’t make much secret about being an avid reader of the New York Times movie reviews. Though my blogging brethren (and sistren) offer prime insight, I came of age as a critic reading A.O. Scott and Manohla Dargis, oscillating between loving and hating them as my allegiances and beliefs have grown over the years. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Todd McCarthy, Welcome to the Ether</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just wanted to jot down a few quick thoughts on Todd McCarthy’s recent announcement that he is joining the indieWIRE blog network. As you may recall, Todd lost his job as Variety’s chief film critic the day after the Oscars this year. As a result, the press exploded with opinions on the death of film [...]]]></description>

		<title>Starting Out in Film, Now What?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This time of year, I get a handful of e-mails from recent college graduates asking for jobs and advice about getting started in the film business. I always love responding to all of them. As a blogger, obviously I love it when people listen to my opinions. Naturally, I tend to repeat myself a lot, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twitter Tomfoolery Regarding Food and Film</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So some joker created a hashtag today that jumped to the top of twitter trends and caught my attention: #filmfoodeating. The game seems to just be to incorporate food into movie titles. Well, of course I latched on and haven’t let go. Here is a compendium of my contributions. And please, do a search over [...]]]></description>

		<title>Review: Star Trek</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Live long and prosper” is the least that one could say about the Star Trek franchise. Over four decades have passed since the first incarnation of Gene Roddenberry’s brainchild. The original series, known for it’s cheese and moral pomp, ran a mere three seasons, but nonetheless inspired eleven movies, five television series, countless books, toys, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Review: Next Day Air</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Drugs, guns, vulgarity and rims are just the tip of the pigeonholed iceberg that is Benny Boom’s feature debut, Next Day Air; but what this little caper has that so many other films of a similar ilk lack is heart, and lots of it. The improbable story follows ten bricks of cocaine from a formidable [...]]]></description>
