			<description><![CDATA[As far as worst blogger ever, that would be me. It's a direct result of also being busiest film critic ever.
Which is kind of weird because August is usually a pretty dead time for movies, but... Vicki Cristina Barcelona, Man on Wire, Elegy, Frozen River... what the heck is going on? Some really]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[OK, summer is effectively over for me, since I've seen most of what will come out in the next two weeks, so it's time to post my seasonal top 10 update.
The list obviously looks a lot better than it did three months ago, but as you'll see, most of the changes occured quite recently:
1) "Vicky]]></description>

			<author>(Tom Long)</author>
			<description><![CDATA[Totally weird similarities between "Elegy" and "Vicky Cristina Barcelona":
Each film stars Penelope Cruz.
Each film stars Patricia Clarkson.
Clarkson plays a loveless middle-aged woman in each film.
In each film someone takes photographs of Penelope Cruz.
Penelope Cruz ends up in a photographic]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Something very strange is happening this August: A quick burst of quality films are scheduled for release over the next three weeks.
Understand, August used to be the month when film critics could safely take a vacation, knowing that nothing but the summer's leftover trash would roll into theaters.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's somewhat odd that this summer of blockbusters is going to end in a fight between Ben Stiller and Seth Rogen, two of the least likely movie stars around.
On the other hand, it's also something of a relief. Who would want to see the Hulk and Iron Man going at it this late in the game? Let the]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's time to lighten up, America.
As millions emerge from the bowels of movie theaters this week having had all hope pummeled from their souls courtesy of "The Dark Knight" and its creepy denizens, Hollywood stands ready to offer relief with a bundle of comic releases.
It's about time. Since]]></description>

			<author>(Tom Long)</author>
			<description><![CDATA[Turns out 128 was a bit on the low side.
Try 155.
That would be $155 million, the estimated amount "The Dark Knight" will have pulled in between 12:01 Friday morning and 12 p.m. Sunday night.
That makes "Knight" the biggest opening ever, topping the former champ, "Spider-Man 3," which pulled in]]></description>

			<author>(Tom Long)</author>
			<description><![CDATA[The most popular game in show biz this weekend is "pick a number for Batman."
So I'll pick 128.
I'm talking, of course, about how much money the latest Batman movie, "The Dark Knight," will earn over the weekend.
It will obviously bring in bundles. It's a sequel to a successful reboot of the]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's the American way, or at least the way America used to be.
Somebody starts out with a small business, they build a customer base and a good name, then move into the big leagues.
That's happening all over the place in Hollywood right now as people who've worked on small films or obscure foreign]]></description>

			<author>(Tom Long)</author>
			<description><![CDATA[Just saw "The Wackness" and while my review will wait until it comes out here July 25, Ben Kingsley's performance in it brings up one of the more curious issues actors have.
Some great actors are perhaps too choosy about roles (Daniel Day-Lewis). Other great actors, and Kingsley is one of these,]]></description>
