		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Author&#8221; is puzzled by a Japanese graduate student at an American university who lets his children watch American cartoons, but not anime. I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s very surprising.
Assuming that the kids are under 10, then the vast majority of the anime available here is not appropriate for them. Unlike the American cartoons, they are just [...]]]></description>

Have you ever wondered what X-Men would be like if it were a shoujo manga? Me neither, but I think we have the answer here anyway. It would still be about young people with mutant powers, but it would be cute and whimsical, and just a little dark.

		<description><![CDATA[
The Last Station is an interesting, well-acted and poignant film about the last year in the life of the great Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy.
In 1910 Count Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer) is perhaps the worlds most celebrated writer. He is also the guru of a movement called the Tolstoyans whose members believe in the abolition of private [...]]]></description>

Whew&#8211;try to say that title without pausing for breath!
Some people say that Percy Jackson &#038; the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is a second-rate imitation of Harry Potter. That seems unfair. There is no way this movie can qualify as &#8220;second rate.&#8221;
J.K. Rowling is no Shakespeare but she  is a competent storyteller. The Harry Potter [...]]]></description>

An Education reminds me a little of those comedies where teenagers spend most of the movie doing dumb things, yet everything works out all right in the end. The difference is that this is a lot smarter and more believable.
The story (loosely based on an autobiographical essay be British journalist Lynn Barber) begins in London [...]]]></description>

Crazy Heart is a well-made film with a really good performance by Jeff Bridges, but somehow I can&#8217;t get too enthusiastic about it.
Bridges plays &#8220;Bad&#8221; Blake, a boozy old country singer, once a big star but now reduced to singing in bowling alleys. The remaining fans who show up to hear him need to be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an off-the-wall idea. I can&#8217;t help wondering whether the floppy hats that Kobato always wears conceal the fact that she actually has puppy-dog ears. (Sort of like Holo in Spice and Wolf.) That would go a long way toward explaining her puppy-like personality.
