                <description><![CDATA[Period bio-epics about strong women breaking through ceilings of glass and&nbsp;chauvinism are becoming so popular that we&rsquo;re going to run out of heroines soon. Earlier in the year we had Julia Childs, two weeks ago we has Amelia Earhart, and this week we have Gabrielle &ldquo;Coco&rdquo; Chanel. Who&rsquo;s next? Rachel Ray and her journey to invent edible crayons? Hannah Montana&rsquo;s battle against Dissociative Identity Disorder? I&rsquo;m not slighting Chanel, the haute couture and cosmetics queen remembered more as a brand than a person. &ldquo;Coco Before Chanel&rdquo; (or &ldquo;Coco avent Chanel&rdquo;) is a poignant effort to put a face on the ...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Cameron Diaz and James Marsden have a terrible moral dilemma in Richard Kelly&#8217;s &#8220;The Box&#8221;: Press a button on a mysterious container, and they&#8217;ll get $1 million and someone they don&#8217;t know will die. What button, on whose box, did Kelly push to get the money to make this awful, preposterous thriller? If Hollywood were a three-strikes-you&#8217;re-out kind of place, Kelly would be flirting with permanent banishment. His first film, cult hit &#8220;Donnie Darko,&#8220; was an intriguing foul ball, muddled and pretentious but showing signs of a strong talent in search of his voice.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Afun tone is undermined by disjointed storytelling in George Clooney&#8217;s &#8220;The Men Who Stare at Goats,&#8220; and it all starts with the disclaimer that opens the movie: &#8220;More of this is true than what you might imagine.&#8220; This wry comment serves as a nod and a wink from the filmmakers, a license to do what they will to Jon Ronson&#8217;s amusing nonfiction account of the U.S. military&#8217;s hush-hush research into psychic warfare and espionage.]]></description>

Simon Pegg makes a nice acerbic addition to the cast as Buck, a one-eyed weasel who carries a sharpened dino tooth for a dagger and acts as a guide when our heroes discover a tropical world of dinosaurs under all that ice. 1:27.

                <description><![CDATA[There are two ways to look at Michael Jackson&rsquo;s big screen B-roll dirge, &ldquo;This is It.&rdquo; One, it&rsquo;s a fitting and touching documentary tribute to the late pop icon that hints of what could possibly have been the greatest live stage performance ever. Or two, the movie is only slightly classier than stringing up Jacko&rsquo;s corpse by its wig and making him perform a post-mortem marionette moonwalk. I guess I&rsquo;m caught somewhere in the middle.
