		<description><![CDATA[Few films use animals to comment on its characters to the extent that Sátántangó does. This thematic conceit is laid out in the film&#8217;s notorious opening shot, an 8+ minute tracking shot of cows grazing a barren Hungarian wasteland, moving from one muddy patch to the next with little sense of purpose (and occasionally trying [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mymoviemusings.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6335826&amp;post=935&amp;subd=mymoviemusings&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Turns out his next film will be an adaptation of a Norwegian crime novel, The Snowman, by author Jo Nesbo. The story involves a hard-living, hard-drinking detective, Harry Hole, who hunts a serial killer who leaves a snowman [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mymoviemusings.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6335826&amp;post=928&amp;subd=mymoviemusings&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

So maybe the connection I&#8217;m making between the two is completely arbitrary, but the similarities &#8211; and differences &#8211; between them struck me. On the surface, both are weird-ass black-and-white movies that tackle old, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mymoviemusings.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6335826&amp;post=911&amp;subd=mymoviemusings&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let it be said: Ralph Fiennes is an extremely capable, even great, actor, but as Francis Dolarhyde, the twisted, enigmatic serial killer of Red Dragon, he&#8217;s nothing special. In broad strokes, his performance is effective and believable, but what results is a rather one-note portrayal of a demented, schizoprenic victim of child abuse. What&#8217;s lacking [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mymoviemusings.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6335826&amp;post=877&amp;subd=mymoviemusings&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

After last year&#8217;s fiasco of a performance by James Franco &#8211; who would have thought that ironic detachment isn&#8217;t a desired quality in an awards show host? &#8211; and the recent dropout by Eddie Murphy, the Academy was likely eager to seek out the safest possible choice.

Shortly thereafter, we get a look at him in action, driving the getaway car during a nighttime heist [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mymoviemusings.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6335826&amp;post=826&amp;subd=mymoviemusings&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

And this is compounded by the fact that, though it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mymoviemusings.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6335826&amp;post=778&amp;subd=mymoviemusings&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In his new psychosexual thriller Black Swan, Darren Aronofsky looks to Michael Powell&#8217;s 1948 classic The Red Shoes as his primary inspiration. In that film, a beautiful ballerina (Moira Shearer) is torn between her commitment to her art &#8211; driven to perfection under the firm and unyielding demands of a famed ballet impresario (Anton Walbrook) [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mymoviemusings.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6335826&amp;post=760&amp;subd=mymoviemusings&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paranormal Activity 2, as much or more than any sequel I can think of, seemed primed to be a quick cash-grab that simply rehashed the formula of the first with superficial changes to keep things from getting stale. And, well, it more or less is. But it&#8217;s entirely forgivable because it manages to be better [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mymoviemusings.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6335826&amp;post=753&amp;subd=mymoviemusings&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an extensive thread on SomethingAwful.com&#8217;s movie forum, Cinema Discusso, about the Alien film series, one of my favorites. One poster mentioned that looking at the very brief sequence where John Hurt&#8217;s character is attacked by the alien egg frame-by-frame was very revealing, showing us a point-of-view look at the creature attaching itself to Hurt&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mymoviemusings.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6335826&amp;post=742&amp;subd=mymoviemusings&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Getting to the heart of Robert Altman&#8217;s 1975 masterpiece, Nashville, is a monumental task. Aside from its ostensible sprawl &#8211; how can I encapsulate the many ways in which its cast of over 20 main characters moved me so much? &#8211; Altman takes on so many subjects and targets that the film, as much as [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mymoviemusings.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6335826&amp;post=728&amp;subd=mymoviemusings&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rio Bravo was the favorite film of late film critic Robin Wood, and given Wood&#8217;s own beliefs (he was, later in his career &#8211; after his coming out as a gay man &#8211; strongly political in his criticism, and often looked at films through the prism of gay rights), it&#8217;s not hard to understand why.

		<description><![CDATA[Now that he&#8217;s largely confined himself to directing overblown period epics, it&#8217;s hard not to wonder at what point Ridley Scott decided to move away from science fiction, after directing, back-to-back, two of the best films the genre ever produced: 1979&#8242;s Alien (the greatest monster movie I&#8217;ve seen), and 1982&#8242;s Blade Runner. Perhaps it was [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mymoviemusings.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6335826&amp;post=707&amp;subd=mymoviemusings&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Many films defy easy explanations, but Last Year at Marienbad seems almost uniquely intent on existing for the very purpose of confounding its viewers &#8211; its labyrinthian narrative continually looping back on itself in a vague manner, toying [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mymoviemusings.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6335826&amp;post=694&amp;subd=mymoviemusings&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
