		<description><![CDATA[I grew up on the original Clash of the Titans (1981).  It’s corny by some of today’s standard, but the movie still holds up overall.  The story sticks remarkably close to it’s mythical roots, though it does take it’s own creative embellishments along the way.  Ray Harryhausen’s effects work is still amazing to me.  I can watch the original over and over.  I will never watch the remake again.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What I wanted when I sat down to watch <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780653/">The Wolfman</a> was quite simple: some gore, a good (no, great) effect when transitioning, and some gothic imagery.  What I got was exactly that – and nothing more.  I must admit that I enjoyed myself throughout.  Yes, it’s mindless, and brought nothing new to the story.  But it was fun, violent, and dark.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The vision of the world after apocalypse is nothing new to cinema.  Nor was it to books when McCarthy’s original book was published.  A gray world that is desolate and foreboding, ashy and violent.  Gangs run amuck, taking hostages; few good men still exist, the hardships of their new life taking obvious tolls.  The difference with The Road is that it’s personal and up-close.  The Road has managed to take the essence of the book and present it to us successfully on the screen.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the teenage vampire craze under way it’s hard to find a good vampire movie any more.  (Although I’m not really certain I can blame Stephanie Meyer for it, good vampire movies were hard to come by before.)  This is one that makes a valiant, original attempt at reclaiming the genre.  Unfortunately, the film turns a little too grotesquely comedic in the middle of the second half for it to have been a brilliant picture.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had little to no interest (closer to no interest) in seeing this movie until I watched the Golden Globes.  People had recommended it, but they also recommended other comedies that turned out to be only mildly amusing.  Then the Golden Globes played a clip during their broadcast that I found extremely funny.  So I rented it.  And very much enjoyed it.  It’s hard to call a movie about a killer hangover smart, but this one actually is.  It’s getting rare to see a mainstream comedy that is these days.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s now been over 72 hours since I watched Werner Herzog’s "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call, New Orleans."  There’s a reason this review is going up significantly later than my viewing.  I didn’t know what to say.  I’ve decided that is actually a good thing.  Maybe even a great thing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["The Princess and the Frog" is a strong return to animation for Disney.  And it brings with it a very effective and dark new villain.  We all know the original story of the "The Frog Princess."  Disney has changed things up by moving the familiar story to Prohibition-era New Orleans, and thereby introducing their first black Princess.  Wait, a Princess in 1920’s New Orleans?]]></description>
