                <description><![CDATA[I get that it was supposed to be a little confusing, but I couldn&rsquo;t even get up to use the bathroom.  I did about thirty minutes into it and when I came back, Jenny couldn&rsquo;t even explain to me what had happened because she was so confused and then this jerk in front of us turned around and shushed us!  Rude!  I was just trying to understand this crappy movie that everyone was going on about.]]></description>

                <title><![CDATA["The Proposal" by D. B. Bates]]></title>
                <description><![CDATA[I sometimes wonder if my life would have turned out differently if I&rsquo;d been a professional.  Now, I had and still have a <i>career</i> as a homemaker.  But aside from working two summers at Lebo&rsquo;s Shoe store in high school, I never had a professional job.  I was never a book editor like Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock), so it&rsquo;s not easy to relate to a character like that.  I&rsquo;d call her unrealistic &mdash; I certainly don&rsquo;t know any women like her &mdash; but I can&rsquo;t imagine a strong woman like Sandra Bullock not just starring in this movie but executive producing if she thought the main character didn&rsquo;t accurately represent a certain kind of woman.]]></description>

                <title><![CDATA["Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" by Matt Wedge]]></title>
                <description><![CDATA[Last night, Vicki was complaining that we never see any movies that she wants to see.  So, trying to keep the peace (and keep getting a piece), I offered to go see anything she wanted at the second-run theater (I may be pussy whipped, but I&rsquo;m not made of money).  You can imagine how much I thought the night was going to suck when she wanted to see that Disney movie with the guy from the gay cowboy movie.  But, I have to say, I&rsquo;m not too proud to admit when I&rsquo;m wrong, and brother, was I ever wrong.  This movie freakin&rsquo; rocked!]]></description>

                <title><![CDATA["MacGruber" by D. B. Bates]]></title>
                <description><![CDATA[Remember when action movies were tough?  Back before the Clinton liberals convinced everyone that a sensitive, ponytail-wearing, environment-loving &ldquo;action hero&rdquo; like Steven Seagal or a Frenchy like Jean-Claude Van Damme were worth watching, we had real heroes like Chuck Norris and Arnold Schwarzenegger. ]]></description>
