		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Great costumes, great set design, great performances, boring movie.&#8221; Does that sound like what everyone you know is saying about Baz Luhrmann&#8216;s The Great Gatsby? Yeah&#8230; me too. Oddly, it also resembles the reviews of the disastrous 1974 version of the movie. And I think I figured out why. [Warning: mild spoilers ahead, even though [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was willing to ignore the first five texts that the three guys in front of me sent during To the Wonder. For all I knew, maybe they were waiting for important news from the hospital, and they were killing time in a Terrence Malick film. (Hey, stranger things have happened.)

And here&#8217;s its theme song: I&#8217;ll admit, I was late to the Harlem Shake, just like I&#8217;m usually late to every meme. It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m purposely out of touch; I just do my best to withstand [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about The Avengers since I read this astoundingly dense (and hyper-useful, if you&#8217;re a writer or artist) scene-by-scene dissection of the film by Todd Alcott. He meticulously explains why each element in the movie does (or doesn&#8217;t) work, what it all means thematically, and how it all supports the multiple [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Listen: America is changing. It&#8217;s not just that Obama is a hit with young voters. It&#8217;s that young voters are increasingly multiracial and metropolitan, and they reward the candidates and policies that represent their views: inclusive, aspirational and non-limiting.
