		<title>Rack focus.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can often be overheard declaring my passionate love for rack focus shots. (Why yes, I am a film geek.) But it wasn&#8217;t until recently that I really asked myself why. For those of you reading who may not know exactly what a rack focus shot is, I&#8217;ll explain it briefly. It&#8217;s basically a shot [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;It happened once, and so it will be forever.&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just finished Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin) and I feel like I need to watch it several more times just to catch everything that was in it. I&#8217;m not sure what I expected, but it was certainly more philosophical than I thought it would be. Some great lines, and the most extraordinary thing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creativity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ “All creativity can be understood as taking in the world as a problem.”
I know we already talked this one to death, but I&#8217;m feeling the need to explore it further. We explored the nature of the statement, but not really the statement itself. We asked what was meant by &#8220;creativity&#8221;. What qualifies as creativity? [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Vanishing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Working on a new post, but in the meantime I thought I&#8217;d post something I wrote for International Cinema about The Vanishing. Comparing original French and Dutch film to American remake. Possible spoilers. All numbers in parentheses are page numbers in the book Dead Ringers: The Remake in Theory and Practice by Jennifer Forrest and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lessons, anyone?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ TWELVE ANGRY MEN&#8230; from a different perspective.
This is an assignment for my small group communication course, so I&#8217;ll be examining this film (which happens to be one of my all-time favorites) for its group problem-solving elements. Fun!

Lesson One: The flaws of having appointed leaders
The most immediately apparent lesson involving functional (or, in this case, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pirates 3!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So my carefully thought-out (ha) opinion of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World&#8217;s End&#8230;
I&#8217;ve heard quite a lot of complaints about this film, but I think maybe the issue here is that their expectations were too high. I went in expecting it to be fun, not good, and my expectations were fulfilled. Honestly, do any [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fallen Angels.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Friday night, I&#8217;m done with my blog post of doom, and somehow I find myself in front of my computer wanting to write another film blog post. For my international cinema class, we watched Fallen Angels on Wednesday afternoon. I haven&#8217;t stopped thinking about it since. Every time I clear my head of everything [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shades of Gray (and red) (and green)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alas, my only blog about Vertigo was cut cruelly short due to a sudden strike of inspiration. But fear not! For now all shall be revealed. Hopefully.

There has been a lot of focus, both in class and among prominent film critics, of Hitchcock&#8217;s use of color in Vertigo. However, I don&#8217;t think that any of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clarification</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Carmen, I&#8217;d like to apologize for any confusion I may have caused with my discussion of the Vagina Dentata theory. I have not been saying that I believe this theory, or that it&#8217;s psychologically/socially valid, just that it&#8217;s an interesting viewpoint to examine. I believe that it is very important to examine different perspectives, especially [...]]]></description>
