		<description><![CDATA[Joan Crawford was a bitch. That may not come as a revelation to the folks who know Ms. Crawford from the image that has been perpetuated since Mommie Dearest, the book and the movie, were released in 1978 and 1981, respectively. From the portrayal of Joan in book and film, “bitch” may have been a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[World-renowned Swedish violinist Holger Brandt (Gosta Ekman) knows what he is about to do is wrong, but he does it anyway, and invites gifted student pianist Anita Hoffman (Ingrid Bergman) out for a “late dinner and wine” after they meet—not so much by coincidence at all—exiting a theatrical performance. Anita has been providing piano lessons [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was in the old Cheltenham Theater in the mid-1970s, with the pungent smells of fried chicken and Lysol wafting through the aisles, that I first got acquainted with David Cronenberg. I was definitely in the “horror movie phase” of my moviegoing life, seeing everything and anything that smacked of scary.  The movie was They [...]]]></description>

It all started with Antiques Roadshow, originally a British show on the BBC that began in the late 1970s. The premise was simple: People showed experts the stuff they thought was valuable.

		<description><![CDATA[New Year’s resolution: Watch more foreign films. Watching foreign cinema is a lot like eating your vegetables. You know you must do it to maintain a balanced and healthy diet, and while you may actually find you enjoy them once you taste them, it’s so much easier to just load up on cheeseburgers and fries. Maybe I’m just speaking [...]]]></description>

We have Hugo, Martin Scorsese’s mesmerizing 3-D adaptation of The Invention of Hugo Cabret, the graphic novel/kid’s book about an orphan living in a in a Paris [...]]]></description>

Certainly no other holiday comes close to the number of times some aspect of the 25th of December has been depicted on the big screen. Sometimes it's a fleeting scene or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Frank Capra was a great director, but probably a lousy businessman. How else do you explain his Christmas classic It’s a Wonderful Life falling into the public domain, and not earning a nickel for the director or his family for decades? Although the financial rewards were obviously non-existent for some time, the value of Capra’s [...]]]></description>
