			<description><![CDATA[Let me clarify -- and I did the first time around but somehow my blog was truncated -- I'm talking about the top movie star of the decade, not the top actor or specific performance.

			<description><![CDATA[Over the next month and a half I have a major task. Not only do I have to come up with my top 10 movies of 2009, I have to come up with the top 10 movies of the decade. 
The problem, of course, is that I can barely remember what I saw last week, much less what I saw in 2004.
Oh, sure, I can do]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Speaking of question marks...
This being the weekend when &quot;Where the Wild Things Are&quot; is released, many folks are questioning where the &quot;Wild Things&quot; audience might be.

			<description><![CDATA[Two films with strong Michigan ties opened wide in theaters this past weekend, and they both ran into a brick wall. So much for regional cheerleading; it doesn't matter at the box office.
