		<description><![CDATA[The American is a masterful, intelligent movie built on the trust that director Anton Corbijn has in the audience’s brainpower. This well-placed faith allows us to peacefully enjoy the somber pacing and quiet details of The American, a far cry from most movies that force-feed viewers plot and character. In fact, watching The American is like reading literary fiction, particularly the kind that transports and leaves you feeling breathless. The portrait Corbijn paints is so vivid we can feel the lifeless cold of Sweden, feel the sun on our faces in the Italian countryside and smell the oil George Clooney&#8217;s hitman character uses while meticulously constructing guns. People who hit the multiplex thinking James Bond are going to be sorely disappointed by this thriller based on the 1990 novel, A Very Private Gentleman, by Martin Booth. Speaking of gentleman, casting George Clooney as the main character, Jack, an assassin/hitman, is nothing short of perfect. Clooney is one handsome devil and is, to no surprise, an honest-to-goodness, true-blue movie star. Like Tom Hanks, Russell Crowe, Johnny Depp and a few others, Clooney effortless lends his graceful charisma to the character of Jack, whom we find at the beginning of the movie hiding out in some frozen, godforsaken area of Sweden. Hiding out might not be the right word, considering he’s spending his days and nights with his lover, Ingrid (Irina Björklund).However, his relaxation soon comes to an end when a sniper rains bullets on the couple and Jack is forced to kill the sniper and, sadly, for his protection, Ingrid. He immediately leaves Sweden and travels to Italy, where one phone call to an associate, Pavel (Johan Leysen), gets him a car, cell phone and an order to flee to the small mountainside town of Castelvecchio and await further instructions. Jack, being the ultra-paranoid assassin, disposes of the cell phone, rebuffs the location and heads to Castel del Monte. In Castel del Monte, Jack goes by the name, Edward, and tells curious townsfolk, including an old priest, Father Benedetto (Paolo Bonacelli), he is a freelance photographer on assignment. Pavel links Jack with a woman, Mathilde (Thekla Reuten), who gives him specs on a compact, stowaway sniper rifle she wants him to custom-build for her. Jack soon starts working on the gun and, in his free time, begins a relationship with a local prostitute, Clara (Violante Placido). As Jack and Clara’s relationship deepens, and as Jack discovers the Swedes have tracked him down in Italy, his paranoia is in overdrive and he becomes suspicious of everyone, all of which leads to a frantic ending with a blurry conclusion. The American, by title and leading actor, is deceiving. This isn’t Ocean’s Eleven or Syriana. This is very much a foreign film. It’s low on violence, heavy on nudity (tastefully done, of course), artful cinematography and copious amounts of dialogue-free scenes wherein emotion and story are told in the fashion that makes Oscar voters get hot flashes. The American isn’t so much an explosive...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jason Reitman, director of Thank You for Smoking and Juno, is batting 1000. If early reviews for his next (Up In The Air) hold true, that&#8217;s not about to change. Set in the world of airports and the corporate jet-setters who call them home, Up in the Air explores the life of a corporate hack-man (played by the uncannily charming George Clooney)&#8211; a guy who embodies the position based on his complete lack of roots to anything but himself and the fast-paced, disconnected world he thrives in. If all that sounds artsy-fartsy and hoighty-toity, you may be right. Still, Reitman&#8217;s shown he can execute movies like this with both heart and emotion and isn&#8217;t that what we go to the movies for in the first place? Well, that and explosions and violence without consequence. Up In The Air comes to town on Christmas day (January 15, 2010 for you, Susan), when you can watch it and be one of the first to hop on its love train. That way, when the Academy Awards roll into town and Up In The Air nails a nomination, you can say you were on the bandwagon first. Up in the Air also stars Twilight&#8216;s scene stealing Bella-pal Anna Kendrick as Clooney&#8217;s buttoned up, emotionally roiled apprentice, with some fantastic cameos by the likes of J.K Simmons, Zach Galifianakis, Danny McBride and Jason Bateman. I think Up In The Air looks fantastic. Agree with me, won&#8217;t you?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not long ago, we shared the trailer for the quirky, funny, golden-cast The Men Who Stare at Goats. It&#8217;s pure sell, magic and win-win&#8230; and I haven&#8217;t even seen it yet. So what&#8217;s up with all the premature prognosticating? This poster. Sure, it may be a liiiiittle too Burn After Reading-esque, but those hairy new age faces, peacefully smiling at the honor of serving both country and The Age of Aquarius, are sublime.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was singing the praises of Coraline last night via my Facebook status when I came across the trailer for the new Wes Anderson (The Darjeeling Limited) stop-motion-animation movie, The Fantastic Mr. Fox. It wasn&#8217;t by coincidence I happened upon another seemingly stop-motion gem, rather I was reading up on Coraline director Henry Selick, who, it was noted in his Wikipedia biography, worked on The Fantastic Mr. Fox with Anderson, as well as The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. As for the trailer below, I&#8217;m not quite sure what to think. It looks quirky and seems to have that Wes Anderson feel, even though it&#8217;s not live action. I think the voice talent &#8211; George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Owen Wilson, Michael Gambon, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Willem Dafoe, Anjelica Huston and Brian Cox &#8211; will be the real driver of this Roald Dahl tale.]]></description>
