		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Synopsis is the devil, but sometimes the devil is in the details. Here&#8217;s Tribeca Film&#8217;s synopsis of writer-director-actor-producer Edward Burns&#8217; microbudget romantic comedy and fan letter to New York&#8217;s upscale Tribeca neighborhood, &#8220;Newlyweds&#8221;: &#8220;Buzzy (Edward Burns) and Katie (Caitlin FitzGerald) are a newly married couple living a seemingly conflict-free life. But when Buzzy’s damaged [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Xavier Durringer&#8217;s &#8220;The Conquest&#8221; (La conquete) is a perky, cheeky take on the rise of French President Nicolas Sarkozy from 2002-2007, featuring a fine turn by veteran comic actor Denis Podalydès as the wife-shedding social striver. Podalydès does a splendid job of typing the small, schlumpfy man&#8217;s apparent (and reported) well of arrogance. While [...]]]></description>

I won&#8217;t say a word!&#8221; is the promise made in the opening scene of Michel Hazanavicius&#8217; soundly entertaining &#8220;The Artist.&#8221; Keen pastiche, the terrific new trifle by the maker of the &#8220;OSS 117&#8243; spy spoof series, offers a &#8220;Singin&#8217; in the Rain&#8221;-variety reassurance to the modern movie industry that its origins [...]]]></description>

Vincent Bal&#8217;s 2001 beguiling Dutch family film, &#8220;Miss Minoes,&#8221; which won a Best International Feature nod from the Chicago International Children&#8217;s Film Festival (2002), gets a worthy big-screen outing. Talking cats! But without rampant CGI and conga-line-scaled musical numbers. (A puppet here, a daffy mouth there.) A Siamese cat who [...]]]></description>

Contemporary digital-film technology contends that anything is possible: just imagine it, draw it, pre-viz it, throw a few football fields&#8217; worth of computing power in a corporate terabyte farm and it is so! Your millions will come streaming back to you in satisfying increments over the course of your multiyear [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Ray Pride &#8220;Young Adult&#8221; is as slim a character study as you can imagine, resting on the shoulders of a very game, very fine Charlize Theron. This sly snapshot, written by Diablo Cody (&#8220;Juno&#8221;) and directed by Jason Reitman (&#8220;Juno,&#8221; &#8220;Up in the Air&#8221;) is a small watercolor of everyday Midwestern alienation with thirty-seven-year-old [...]]]></description>

Newly married Meris (O&#8217;Grady) moves to the Oregon hometown of her husband, Mitch (John Keyser) after his business fails, having no idea [...]]]></description>

If you don&#8217;t have a well of childhood nostalgia for these characters, this first Muppet feature since 1999, and the first under [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Antiseptic yet endearingly lurid, shiny as a polished stone, Bill Condon&#8217;s first of two &#8220;Twilight: Breaking Dawn&#8221; movies is a couple degrees cooler than camp but at least warmer than the grave. The Oscar-winning writer-director (for the script of &#8220;Gods and Monsters&#8221;) approaches the material with more tongue-in-cheek, largely in line readings, than earlier [...]]]></description>
