			<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.

			<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.
Is it actual children, or will the film seem too long and complex for the young ones and just plain dull to]]></description>

			<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.
&quot;Whip It,&quot; directed by Drew Barrymore and starring Ellen Page, was mostly shot in Michigan. And]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Another week of screenings, another week of good movies.

			<description><![CDATA[A week after coming home from the Toronto International Film Festival the thunder about Toronto continues to be that there was no real thunder in Toronto.
Yes there were some unmitigated hits, and I've gone over those. But business-wise there was very little happening among the independent films]]></description>
