		<description><![CDATA[Finally watched Avatar&#8211;so many people told me so much about it, I figured that if I didn&#8217;t watch it now, I&#8217;d probably lose interest soon. It was good. I have to say the visual effect is less than what I expected but the story is more weighty. Overall, it is great. ZR and I had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t help but to sing praise to the movie District 9. Upon knowing how old the director (Neill Blomkamp) is, I was very impressed. The kid certainly has wisdom beyond his 30 years. Of course, he is from South Africa. Still, being able to distill an almost biblical human sin into a short movie, he&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, just before the Election, Frank Rich said in an opinion column, something like, &#8220;it is a shame that GWB was so banal a terrible President, he didn&#8217;t even give us a Richard Nixon to chew over&#8221;. I didn&#8217;t think it was a casual remark at all. I always thought that Nixon is a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Watched A&#038;D last night. It was pretty entertaining (perhaps because I never read the novel). Still, it wasn&#8217;t a movie worth blogging until I saw this piece on WaPo, Angels &#038; Demons &#038; Disclaimers.
While discussing why he didn&#8217;t watch Mel Gibson&#8217;s The Passion of Jesus Christ, the writer, David Waters, mentioned the idea of &#8220;the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Watched the 24 Cities with the Boston couple.
Never want to watch Jia&#8217;s movie sitting in a confined seat again. The movie was so repetitive, raw and edgy that when I can&#8217;t move around, I felt a dread of claustrophobia.
The movie tells close to a dozen personal stories, some warm, some sad, some funny and some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am not a big fun of continental Euorpean movies. Nor are the holocaust ones. But Au revoir, les enfants is an exception. A very moving movie indeed. Unlike many French movies, it is full of outright conflicts and tensions. Yet still has the attention to details that is so French.
In the end, it is [...]]]></description>

A Spoild Man (short fiction, the New Yorker)
Reminded me of a few works I read before &#8230; but too tired to remember which ones. Or is it an metaphore of many things in life, including that of the American Dream? The dream was induced by an American, that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. Just watched the movie &#8220;Dirty Rotten Scoundrels&#8220;. Pretty funny, particularly towards the end. Very witty. Everyone performed wonderfully.
2. Still haven&#8217;t figured out whether the Riviera town we visited was Villefranche-Sur-Mer or not?
3. A new word learned: MacGuffin. According to Wiki:
a plot device that motivates the characters or advances the story, but the details of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[为什么政客们亲那么多Baby不会得病，我亲一个就病得摇摇欲坠?!
When one is physically ill what does that do to one&#8217;s mind? I had many hours of sleep but dreaded the dreams. It was the day time stress and anxiety repeated over and again. I was making arguments that at once seemed to make perfect sense and no sense at all. Just like my paper&#8230; [...]]]></description>

Not sure it is my kind of movie but I can tell it is a good one. [...]]]></description>
