                <description><![CDATA[Girl meets 100-year-old emo vampire. Girl meets pre-pubescent shirtless werewolf. Sparks, fangs and hairballs fly. WTF! (Or is it LOL?) Regardless, who the hell invited Jezebel to the Monster Mash!? By the 120-minute mark of &ldquo;The Twilight Saga: new Moon,&rdquo; I&rsquo;m half expecting there to be a lovers' quarrel-turned-nightmare three-way. But then I remember, &ldquo;Twilight&rdquo; is made for angst-ridden teen sensibilities. And those sensibilities are filtered through a PG-13 spaghetti strainer that makes awkward adolescent lust look like mormon puppy love. It&rsquo;s Shakespeare on training wheels made for future Lifetime viewers. Of course, &ldquo;Twilight&rdquo; the fad-turned-phenomenon says I&rsquo;m wrong. According ...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Sixteen-year-old Jenny learns the ways of the world in the coming-of-age drama &#8220;An Education.&#8220; Carey Mulligan is radiant as a suburban teenager in 1961 London who is curious and clever beyond her years but still rather innocent and impressionable. Although she&#8217;s a diligent student and dutiful daughter on track to study at Oxford, she sits alone in her bedroom at night longing to be adult enough to live in Paris on her own, basking in the culture.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The redemption-minded sports flick &#8220;The Blind Side&#8221; serves its inspiration straight-up with no twist. Writer-director John Lee Hancock wisely lets the true story of Michael Oher&#8212;the teen who found a home and, eventually, football stardom, after being adopted by a wealthy Memphis family&#8212;speak for itself. That direct focus delivers a feel-good crowd-pleaser, but it also drains the film of the kind of subtle nuances that might have separated it from other Hallmark-like efforts.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The Twilight Saga: New Moon,&#8220; also known as &#8220;Twilight: The Squeakquel,&#8220; is actually pretty good&#8212;a tick better than the first &#8220;Twilight,&#8220; which wasn&#8217;t bad either. The first &#8220;Twilight,&#8220; a lower-budget and scruffier affair directed by Catherine Hardwicke, may have been lame in the visual magic department, but its stars and their smoldering separate-beds bedroom eyes did a valiantly angst-y job in launching a major franchise. The second film in the series is bigger, better in the effects and more vibrant visually, which is crucial&#8212;the heroine, Bella, is an Olympic-level mope, and if &#8220;New Moon&#8221; matched this character&#8217;s mood with the ...]]></description>

Mr. Woodward, 79, who starred as &#8220;The Equalizer&#8221; on television, died in a hospital in Cornwall after an illness, said Janet Glass of the Eric Glass Ltd. agency in London. He won an Emmy Award in 1990 for &#8220;Remembering World War II&#8221; and a Golden Globe in 1987 for &#8220;The Equalizer,&#8220; which ran from 1985 to 1989 on CBS.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[&ldquo;The Damned United&rdquo; has a far better chance of turning American blokes onto soccer, errr, football than David Beckham&rsquo;s frosted tips. The bio-epic of sorts follows prolific soccer manager Brian Clough, a smug, self-absorbed Type A who somehow retains an ounce of likeability. My fellow Americans, imagine Michael Scott meets Bobby Knight. The outspoken manager and former star footballer for the British national team had a knack for turning around small clubs used to losing in the &lsquo;70s through the &lsquo;90s, like Derby County and Nottingham Forest. He turned both squads from anonymous bottom dwellers tino ticker-tape-clad champions Despite Clough&rsquo;s ...]]></description>

You probably know him as Tony Blair in &#8220;The Queen,&#8220; David Frost in &#8220;Frost/Nixon&#8221; (or a werewolf in the &#8220;Underworld&#8221; movies). In &#8220;The Damned United&#8221; he once again plays a real-life character: Brit soccer manager Brian Clough, who in 1974 rose to the top of his profession and managed to crash and burn in a matter of weeks.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Cult classics, such as Ed Wood&#8217;s films and &#8220;Showgirls,&#8220; are often defined by their flaws as much as their merits. &#8220;Boondock Saints,&#8220; the 1999 film that achieved cult status on DVD and now has spawned a sequel, certainly had plenty of flaws. It was a ridiculously over-the-top action film about a pair of Irish-American twins who set out with guns and some reckless and boozy bravado to rid Boston of criminals and Mafia.]]></description>

Yes, the same Michael Bay who made &ldquo;Transformers&rdquo; and &ldquo;Pearl Harbor.&rdquo; &ldquo;2012&rdquo; would have been a better and&nbsp;more original movie if the climatic confrontation featured John Cusack&rsquo;s character heroically holding up a boom box in the face of surly seismic booms and cataclysmic tsunamis.
