		<description><![CDATA[I recently watched a French movie (note: title removed in effort to not promote pedophilia) which focused on a group of adolescent girls from ages 5-14 in a secluded boarding school. What immediately sounded an alarm in my American mind was the film&#8217;s depiction of several nude children. The scenes were relevant to the context of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So this may be pure coincidence, but one observation I&#8217;ve made lately during my movie watching is that many movies, mainly lower budget releases, seem to have more than two writers on board. Moreover, when there is such an overcrowded writing team, the movie more often than not winds up sucking. Why is this? My [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Go on any movie&#8217;s IMDb discussion board and you&#8217;re sure to run into this. Of course I&#8217;m talking about the slanderous remarks thrown towards the American population based solely on a few popular films. According to such discussions, us Americans have no taste in film, all we can do is remake foreign films and do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Herschell Gordon Lewis once said &#8220;I see filmmaking as a business and pity anyone who regards it as an art form.&#8221; Well Mr. Lewis is right, sadly. Movies are a business, they get made to make money &#8211; whether that means by making a truly remarkable film to earn that cash or by exploiting pop [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to take a moment to clarify my rating system, as I&#8217;m sure readers might often get confused when seeing truly great films get docked a point or two and others, such as &#8220;The Half Blood Prince,&#8221; get a perfect seven. Basically, when rating, films are compared to standards of their particular genre or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing that drives me mad is when people claim that films are not &#8220;historically accurate.&#8221; This sparks much debate on the forums in sites like IMDb and quite frankly I find it incredibly annoying. If you want to watch a movie for historic facts, get a documentary or enroll in a history class at [...]]]></description>
