		<description><![CDATA[Luc Besson presents a story he made up about two CIA agents making mayhem all around Paris. There’s some good dumb fun bloodshed, but then there are all the bad parts that are not funny bad, just bad. In this goofy romp, James Reese (Jonathan Rhys Meyers, “Mission: Impossible III,” Velvet Goldmine”) is the flunky [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Ray Pride
Where&#8217;s the novelty in Andrea Arnold&#8217;s storytelling?
It&#8217;s everywhere, is where it is. The odd critiques of &#8220;Red Road&#8221; and &#8220;Fish Tank&#8221; that have asserted Arnold tells familiar stories with familiar characters are off the mark. The live-through-this intensity of her storytelling is charged and fresh. The English director started her career relatively late, [...]]]></description>

What did Dame Helen Mirren and Christopher Walken get their Oscar nominations for in &#8220;The Last Station&#8221;? Why, ACTING, my dear boy, for ACTING, for fury and flair and splendid cussedness. A spirited melodrama adapted from Jay Parini&#8217;s 1990s novel about the last year of the life of Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer, grand, [...]]]></description>

(Ce qu&#8217;il faut pour vivre) Based on an actual tuberculosis epidemic that swept the Far North of Canada in mid-century, &#8220;The Necessities of Life&#8221; is set in 1955, when Tivii, an Inuit hunter (Natar Ungalaaq, &#8220;The Fast Runner&#8221;) is diagnosed and taken from his village on remote Baffin Island for treatment at a hospital in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED
Andrew Bujalski&#8217;s the closest thing to a writing-directing auteur among his American contemporaries, many of whom tend toward improvisational methods. His third feature, the brightly-colored &#8220;Beeswax,&#8221; like &#8220;Funny Ha Ha&#8221; (2002) and &#8220;Mutual Appreciation&#8221; (2006) is tightly, yet elusively scripted. The plotting is simple, yet the interactions of his characters fascinate even when the subject [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Writer-director Adam Green&#8217;s &#8220;Frozen,&#8221; a Sundance 2010 entry, is a high-concept chiller trapping talkative post-teens atop a high-high-up ski-lift overnight with increasingly implausible but not quite risible complications. (Its programming at midnight in the ski resort of Park City is wittier than much of the film itself.) Call it &#8220;Open Water&#8221; with wolves, or &#8220;Lifeboat&#8221; [...]]]></description>
