		<description><![CDATA[The 1970s are fondly remembered now as an insanely creative and risk-taking era for American cinema, and there&#8217;s one infamous film that is generally blamed for bringing it all to a crashing halt: &#8220;Heaven&#8217;s Gate.&#8221; Director Michael Cimino had cleaned up at the Oscars with &#8220;The Deer Hunter,&#8221; and seemed like a safe bet to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most zombie movies look at the undead and decide they&#8217;re a problem best solved with a bullet to the head. But director Jonathan Levine gives us &#8220;Warm Bodies,&#8221; which suggests that when World War Z comes, all you&#8217;ll need is love. R.

You get one chance, and you live with the choices you make.&#8221; Director Werner Herzog&#8217;s latest may be a work for hire &#8212; a 35-minute documentary for AT&#38;T on the consequences of texting and driving &#8212; but it&#8217;s this existential point that he hammers home, interviewing perpetrators and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hollywood movies are all starting to feel the same these days, but in some cases almost literally. Just check out &#8220;White House Down,&#8221; a &#8220;Die Hard&#8221;-in-D.C. popcorn flick that is almost exactly the same movie as &#8220;Olympus Has Fallen,&#8221; which was released earlier this summer. Great minds think alike, as they say, but based on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[German-Turkish director Fatih Akin, best known locally for 2005&#8242;s excellent doc on Istanbul&#8217;s music scene &#8220;Crossing the Bridge,&#8221; turns his attention to a small tea-growing village called Camburnu on the coast of the Black Sea. This was the hometown of Akin&#8217;s grandparents, and it&#8217;s this personal connection that drove him to spend several years covering [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Director: Don Hertzfeldt Language: English Cinema is constantly cross-breeding, but a hybrid of Stan Brakhage&#8217;s impressionistic art cinema with naif stick-figure line drawing and overlapping narration like The Velvet Underground&#8217;s &#8220;The Murder Mystery&#8221; is not something I&#8217;d expected. One-man animator Don Hertzfeldt&#8217;s feature seamlessly combines three of his short films about the life &#8212; and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My first zombie movie was &#8220;Night of the Living Dead,&#8221; viewed at a midnight screening at the old Harvard Square Cinema, attended by a small coterie of late-night freaks and stoners. With its relentless dread and entrail-chomping ghouls, it was a film beyond the pale of normal, daytime moviegoers. Flash forward three decades and zombie [...]]]></description>

Now, 1996&#8242;s &#8220;The Ashes of Time&#8221; gets a rerelease on DVD, with a gorgeously restored print, but a cut that&#8217;s mysteriously seven minutes shorter.

		<description><![CDATA[Magic Mike,&#8221; director Steven Soderbergh&#8217;s peep into the world of male strippers, almost feels like a response to his 2009 film &#8220;The Girlfriend Experience,&#8221; which looked at online escort services. Despite starring wildly popular porn starlet Sasha Grey, the film was cool, cerebral and decidedly asexual; it also did lousy at the box office. With [...]]]></description>

Once upon a time, a movie with jokes about pooping on one&#8217;s partner or shooting Tabasco sauce up a bodily orifice would have been John Waters territory: fringe, freakish and low-budget. Yet these days you can make that [...]]]></description>
