		<title>[SIFF weekend three]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[+ Small Town Murder Songs is the rare movie that could have stood to be longer by about 15-20 minutes. I would have very much liked to see some of the subthreads teased out just a little bit more, but I understand that that director saw it the other way, wanting to pare it down [...]]]></description>

		<title>[SIFF week two]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[+ Shot on location in Seattle &#38; rural Washington, Late Autumn is a very quiet movie about Anna (the immensely talented Tang Wei), a young woman on two day compassionate leave from prison to attend her mother&#8217;s funeral. On the bus to Seattle she meets Hoon, a young escort who borrows $30 from her and [...]]]></description>

		<title>[Super 8]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Super 8 is not my perfect summer movie, but it comes damn close. I said on Twitter that you should see it at the drive-in, and that is true. You should see it sitting in a lawn chair in the back of a pick-up truck, eating an ice cream sandwich. And you should probably see [...]]]></description>

		<title>[SIFF weekend two]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[+ Black Bread was this year&#8217;s big Goya winner, a film tackling the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War through the experiences of children. In contrast to the frightful fantasy of Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth, Black Bread remains largely realistic. The child actors are all marvelous. + Secret #2&#8230; I would have enjoyed more in Hecklevision. And [...]]]></description>

		<title>[SIFF week one]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[+ I didn&#8217;t realize until I got there that The Darkest Matter was actually a student project. It was a feature put together by middle school students in a film camp, and if I had known that ahead of time I might not have gone. But I didn&#8217;t so I did, and I didn&#8217;t feel [...]]]></description>

		<title>[SIFF weekend one]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[* It&#8217;s a good thing we liked Three, because oh my giddy aunt the Neptune is uncomfortable. New seats are apparently arriving Friday morning, and I can&#8217;t wait. But, the movie was lovely. It&#8217;s a German film about a couple in a long term relationship. They each wind up having an affair&#8230; with the same [...]]]></description>

		<title>[Submarine]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Submarine was a charming coming of age story and a great start to the festival. I&#8217;ve only seen Craig Roberts be rather evil before (he was a vampire on &#8220;Being Human&#8221; &#38; John Reed in the most recent Jane Eyre) but here as unreliable narrator 15 year old Oliver Tate he&#8217;s big-eyed and awkward, like [...]]]></description>

		<title>[SIFF Ewan McGregor Tribute]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Suppose I better start writing about SIFF before I get ridiculously behind. Or, I guess, more ridiculously behind. I am having a good festival, but it has been too full for much reflection, even with my lazy mornings. But I will try for you, my three loyal readers! This weekend SIFF presented Ewan McGregor with [...]]]></description>

		<title>[Priest (in 3D!)]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are new around here, you missed the cinematic event of 2010 on this blog, and that was the Paul-Bettany-as-a-fallen-angel feature Legion. In which case you cannot be expected to know the joy and anticipation with which I awaited the release of Priest, another vaguely religious film starring Mr Bettany and directed by Scott [...]]]></description>

		<title>[Bridesmaids]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bridesmaids, of all things, is the latest movie I can&#8217;t shut up about. I would like everyone to see it so that it will be successful and Hollywood will let creative, hilarious women make more movies. It is a firmly Apatovian movie, but with ladies. It is just as vulgar, for better or for worse [...]]]></description>
