		<title>The movies your friends are (and aren&#8217;t) watching</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
59 movies were nominated for Academy Awards this year. If you exclude the shorts (animated, live action and documentary) and the foreign language nominees&#8211; but include the full-length documentaries&#8211; that brings us down to 40 films. At my Oscars party last weekend, my friends had seen 21 of those 40 films, and I found that pretty [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mandatory movie music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There are two important Oscar categories when it comes to music: Original score, and original song. Scores are written by composers specifically for a film, with the intention of adding drama to the movie&#8211; so it&#8217;s actually the song category that&#8217;s the fun one. This is where we (sometimes) get to see our favorite artists [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Shutter&#8221; along with Scorsese&#8217;s latest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
When Martin Scorsese makes a movie, it&#8217;s usually worth watching&#8211; especially if Leonardo DiCaprio is in it (think: &#8220;Gangs of New York,&#8221; &#8220;The Aviator&#8221; and &#8220;The Departed&#8221;). The latest Scorsese/DiCaprio flick, &#8220;Shutter Island,&#8221; is an interesting breed: It&#8217;s a book adaptation. But the story&#8217;s original author, Dennis Lehane, is no stranger to books-turned-movies; the novelist [...]]]></description>
