		<description><![CDATA[Orson Welles thought James Cagney the most talented actor of the sound era. He based his opinion on the theory that though Cagney&#8217;s performances were &#8220;big&#8221; they were so focused and specific that they were the opposite of being hammy.  Cagney always seems to be walking a fine line, threatening to go over the top [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having Tim Burton film Lewis Carroll&#8217;s tale of juvenile surrealism sounds like a match made in movie heaven.  The fact that it comes at a time when the digitised version of 3-D is assuming some serious box office momentum wets the appetite still further.  What could be more enticing than Johnny Depp hamming it up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The actress and star Loretta Young was possibly the biggest hypocrite of Hollywood&#8217;s golden age.  A self consciously devout Catholic, her piety was such that she found it difficult to even say the word &#8216;divorce&#8217; on screen.  Yet, as is often the way, her private behaviour hardly squared with her public morals.  Twice divorced herself, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Luise Rainer just turned 100.  Though her name is hardly a household word these days - and hasn&#8217;t been, in fact, for over 70 years - in the late 1930s Rainer became the first performer to win back-to-back Oscars.  What happened next wasn&#8217;t pretty: marital problems, poor roles and a falling out with her studio, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Bright Star&#8221; might not convert you to the poetry of John Keats.  For a lyrically challenged dullard such as myself, who exited his tertiary English studies at stage two out of sheer frustration at not being able to &#8220;work out&#8221; poems, the worth and much of the meaning of Mr Keats&#8217; output continued to remain [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are a lot of good things in Martin Scorsese&#8217;s latest, the psychological thriller &#8220;Shutter Island&#8221;.  Robbie Robertson&#8217;s score, for one.  Robertson seems to be channelling Bernard Herrmann, going wonderfully over the top from the very beginning.  The music in the opening sequence - seemingly nothing more than shots of Leonardo Di Caprio and Mark [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Serial killer films don&#8217;t come any funnier than this political allegory from Chile.  It&#8217;s insane, amoral protagonist obliquely mirrors the Pinochet regime&#8217;s philosophy and behaviour.  Or perhaps I should say he &#8220;mirror balls&#8221; it given that the plot has fifty-something Raul Peralta being so obsessed with the John Travolta character in &#8220;Saturday Night Fever&#8221; and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Palme d&#8217;Or winner at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, on a surface level &#8220;The Class&#8221; sounds like yet another variation on &#8220;To Sir, With Love&#8221; cliches.  While it does feature a charismatic teacher who struggles to effectively communicate with his students, and while at one point, like Sidney Poitier did to Lulu, he calls [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This English gem is the best satire since &#8220;Dr. Strangelove&#8221;.  Low level politicians and their media minders on both sides of the Atlantic blunder into an anonymous Middle Eastern war more concerned with their own careers, petty point scoring and expressing themselves in the most vitriolically foul mouthed way possible than with high moral or [...]]]></description>
