        <title><![CDATA[  Waltz Explodes at Cannes ]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[Now that's more like it. After a typically lousy opening&mdash;allegorical disaster Blindness&mdash;the Cannes Film Festival shook things up yesterday with Waltz with Bashir, a ferocious animated documentary from Israel recounting the 1982 massacre at Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. It&rsquo;s &ldquo;stunning,&rdquo; writes Manhola Dargis in the New York Times, &ldquo;at once a furious act of conscience and a lament.&rdquo;]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[  Applause for Reprise   ]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[Joachim Trier&rsquo;s debut film, the honest and amusing dramedy Reprise, is wowing critics. The film, which tells the story of a pair of young aspiring writers,  &ldquo;opens like a portrait of the artist as a young man (times two) and, with stealth and wit, metamorphoses into something wide and deep and funny,&rdquo; writes Manohla Dargis in the New York Times.]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[  Narnia Still Casts a Spell    ]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian returns to the fantasyland 1,300 years after The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and all is not well in the kingdom. The &quot;darker, more conventional, and more crisply made&quot; follow-up features &quot;more clashing swords than all the Robin Hood movies put together,&quot; Todd McCarthy writes in Variety.&nbsp;]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[  Redbelt Gets a No-Decision ]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[Redbelt can&rsquo;t quite score a knockout with critics. While many find much to admire in David Mamet&rsquo;s fight movie, most also concede it&rsquo;s a flawed affair, and some outright disliked it. In the New York Times, Manohla Dargis described it as &ldquo;a satisfying, unexpectedly involving B-movie,&rdquo; that sadly &ldquo;never marshals its estimable parts, its exciting fight sequences and juicy side characters into a transcendent whole.&rdquo;]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[  Speed Racer Is a Slog ]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[The Wachowski brothers&rsquo; Speed Racer is a flashy ride that would be great for kids&mdash;if it weren&rsquo;t &ldquo;like C-SPAN set in an arcade,&rdquo; writes Carina Chocano in the Los Angeles Times. Endless, aimless dialog, she says, dominates the &ldquo;juvenile and hermetic&rdquo; pastiche about a Grand Prix driver avenging his brother's death in a futuristic world that looks like the inside of a pinball machine.&nbsp;]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[  This Vegas Is a Bad Bet   ]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[The new romantic comedy What Happens in Vegas probably should have stayed in Vegas, most critics think&mdash;or &quot;in Hollywood, where such lamebrained ideas are hatched,&quot; writes Bill Goodykoontz in the Arizona Republic. Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher star as a couple who get hitched after a drunken night out and are then ordered to stay together by a judge.]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[  Made of Honor    Stumbles Down Aisle  ]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[Destined for the chick-flick oblivion guaranteed by opening on the same day as a superhero blockbuster, Made of Honor has critics expressing a range of emotions&mdash;from indifference to loathing. Most sink their teeth into the My Best Friend's Wedding-with-a-gender-switch angle and chomp down: &quot;Unfortunately, the filmmakers add nothing new, funnier or more engaging,&quot; writes Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times.]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[  Iron Man Solid Gold ]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[Iron Man rockets into theaters tomorrow, and it&rsquo;s so good it &ldquo;practically dares the competition to measure up,&rdquo; Peter Travers writes in Rolling Stone. Critics are nearly unanimous in praising the latest superhero flick, admiring its &ldquo;raw vitality&rdquo; and &ldquo;pitch-perfect casting.&rdquo; Robert Downey Jr., in particular, &ldquo;brings so much creative juice to the party that Iron Man achieves instant liftoff.&rdquo;]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[  Few Surprises in Deception   ]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[Deception is a twist-filled thriller, but critics say the cloak of deceit will be paper-thin to anybody familiar with the genre. Ewan McGregor stars as a dull accountant whose life gets spicier after an attorney, played by Hugh Jackman, introduces him to a secret sex club. Soon after, the thriller cliches roll out, and &quot;it's genre time,&quot; writes Desson Thompson in the Washington Post.]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[  Harold and Kumar Slacks Off  ]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[Sometimes it's hard not to laugh at the slacker/stoner comedy Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, writes James Berardinelli in ReelViews. At other times, it's hard not to cringe at the film, a sequel to Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. That's because the humor in Escape, about the anti-heroes being mistaken for terrorists, &quot;is uneven in the extreme,&quot; Berardinelli writes.&nbsp;]]></description>
