		<description><![CDATA[Frankly, the Academy has no idea. Drive, a film I consider to be easily the best film of 2011, missed out on virtually any Oscar nominations at all, save a filler spot for Best Sound Editing (I mean, c'mon, when you're up against a Transformers movie, what hope to you have?) - not even Albert Brooks' nasty turn as a gangster in that film was given so much as a nod. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I announced at the start of the year, yours truly has been selected as a member of the Grand Jury on this year's Beneath The Earth Film Festival, and have spent the day watching and reflecting on the newly uploaded selection of films to judge on. As a judge, I rate each film on a selection of criteria, including story, editing, acting, soundtrack and the like. Voting for the public is also open via Facebook, so do these amateur filmmakers a favor and check out some of their material. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The story of Star Wars is well known. This simple fact means I don’t have to spend a paragraph of five retelling the rags-to-riches story of one George Lucas, film-making auteur and to this day, the most successful independent filmmaker of all time. Lucas’s canny decision to retain the rights to the Star Wars merchandise, which Fox at the time felt was worthless, ended up being the business bargain of the century. His creation, Star Wars, became one of the highest grossing film trilogies in history back in the 80’s, after the release of sequel films The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi. He had more money than God, his own production company, the ability to develop new cinema technologies (such as the THX standard) and pretty much a run at anything he dared to dream of.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is it a classic line, an amazing entrance or teary death scene? Is it killer comedy, high drama or simply explosive action fare? For everybody it will be different, although I think a few of my choices below will probably make it into many a 100-list for this meme, but it'd be interesting to see what you guys all come up with. We sat down and managed to come up with perhaps the 100 best reasons why we (or, rather I!) love films. Now, your challenge is to do the same.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here’s what it is. The Matrix movies are a visual symbolization of a drinking binge. Go ahead and pretend like you don’t know this, yeah yeah yeah, but deep down you know i’m right.

The first movie, Matricks, is the buzz rush of an impromptu party you can’t believe you were lucky enough to be invited to. Matrix Loaded is after you’ve had too much and start purging. Matrix Revulsion is the post-party hangover and depression.]]></description>

The reason for this is not exactly a new one, but it does bear repeating, because I think many studios and cinema companies are going to do themselves out of a business before too long [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, it didn't seem to go too well, did it? As I sat and watched the half-assed comedy that was James Franco and Anne Hathaway hosting the film industry's night of nights, I had to ask myself where I thought it all went wrong. The idea, in principle, was sound: get a couple of young, attractive stars to spice up the Oscars and make it more appealing to the younger crowd - after all, who even remembers Jack Nicholson anyway? The result, though, filtered through the frankly banal banter of Franco and Hathaway, was - and I put this delicately, lest I one day seek to be invited to the Oscars myself - abysmal.]]></description>
