		<description><![CDATA[I think it&#8217;s a problem when you find the Red Queen far more likable than the White Queen.  Helena Bonham Carter did a splendid job.
I don&#8217;t know if it quite captured the perplexity of Wonderland.

		<description><![CDATA[Ebert and all critics want to focus on the line &#8220;I want to talk about how bad you make this room look.&#8221; But I&#8217;m not a film critic, and I&#8217;m stuck to &#8220;Funny how falling feels like flying for a little while.&#8221;
It is funny.  I laugh until I cry.

		<description><![CDATA[In high school, I loved band.  Both class, and the extra-curriculars.  I spent my evenings practicing scales and sight-reading, and my breaks at school rehearsing solos.  I signed out that clarinet so often that at some point I started to sign my name as &#8220;Clarinet&#8221; Ursabia and didn&#8217;t even notice.  (The music [...]]]></description>

I was 13 and my grandmother was 78 when she passed away.  It was a December when the ambulance came in the middle of the night to take her away.  She was unconscious and remained in the ICU for a couple of months.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;There are two women in Bingham&#8217;s life. Alex Goran (Vera Farmiga) is also a road warrior, and for some time they&#8217;ve been meeting in dreary “Suite” hotels in East Moses, Nowhere — having meals, making love, play-acting at being the happy couple neither one will commit to. Natalie Keener (Anna Kendrick) is a bright, ambitious [...]]]></description>
