		<title>Bite-Sized Movie Reviews</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Valko&#8217;s Bite Sized Movie Reviews If you are anything like me, when reading a review of a movie there are three things you want to know: 1. A brief description of what the movie is about. 2. Who stars in it. 3. Was it good, or not, according to the reviewer&#8217;s opinion.

		<title>Brides Maids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Delicious
Brides Maids is like a series of strung together SNL skits. That probably sounds bad, but somehow it worked. Kristen Wiig made the movie. Her sense of comedic timing was so natural that often her slightest facial expressions and body movements made me laugh. And despite many of the over the top scenes she still [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wikileaks Friend or Foe?
“The battle lines are being drawn. What happens to Wikileaks (and its founder) as a result of the website publishing secret documents may forever change our freedom relating to the Internet. I believe it’s important for each of us to take a side. Here’s my take:
Preceding the American Revolution our forefathers printed [...]]]></description>

		<title>500 Days of Summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scrupulous
At the very beginning of the movie, on the screen, text tells the audience that “…this is not a love story.”  I beg to differ. In fact, it‘s the best love story I’ve seen on the silver screen in a long, long time. It’s a love story between the audience and the main characters: [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Hangover</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, so.
The title of the movie tells you everything you need to know about the premises. A group of men on a weekend bachelor party in Las Vegas get so blasted that the next day they can’t remember what happened the night before. There are hints everywhere, however, like they wake up in their suite [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Proposal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tasty
A contrived script. A predictable plot.  A forgettable story. But I liked it anyway. Go figure. Sandra Bullock is really hard not to like. So is the man she has to marry in order to keep in citizenship in the U.S., Ryan Reynolds. Especially good was Sandra romping around the bedroom in her birthday [...]]]></description>

		<title>Terminator Salvation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So so
Fantastic special effects. But special effects alone don&#8217;t do it for me. I need characters I can feel for, and a plot that I can buy into. Terminator Salvation offered neither. Unlike the characters that I could connect with in The Terminator and Terminator 2 &#8212; Judgment Day, the characters in this latest attempt [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Curious Case of Benjamin Button</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scrupulous
The story of a reverse aging. A man is born an old man and for the next three hours grows young on the screen. The word charming comes to mind, with an understated (but excellent) performance from Brad Pitt, and a fine performance from Kate Blanchette, who convincingly spans several decades as her (like Pitt&#8217;s) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slumdog Millionaire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scrupulous
One of the best movies I&#8217;ve seen in years. The devise used to unravel the rags to riches story of a &#8220;slumdog&#8221; Indian boy, through the playing of the game, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, is fresh and captivating. For us Americans who believe a &#8220;crisis&#8221; is paying a dollar more per gallon of [...]]]></description>
