		<title>Canon T2i (550D)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Depending on where you are, Canon&#8217;s new flagship might carry different letters but the the bottom line is the same: this photo is GOOD news for aspiring indie filmmakers.
According to DPreview:
The EOS 550D redefines the boundaries of Canon’s consumer DSLR range, incorporating technologies and features more commonly found in semi-professional DSLRs into the compact, lightweight [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gladiator 2.0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have mixed feelings about the return of the Ridley Scott &#038; Russell Crowe. The Robin Hood trailer seems like a remake of the Gladiator.

Cate Blanchett as Maid Marian? All my doubts are suddenly washed away by a torrent of relief!

		<title>New York I Love You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently saw New York, I Love You and I was really impressed by one of the 12 stories that make up this movie &#8220;anthology&#8221;.
So if you&#8217;re renting it (or downloading it), make sure you pay special attention to Ethan Hawke and Maggie Q. Ethan&#8217;s monologue is a treat!

		<title>The Wave (Die Welle) review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Wave is an amazing little gem of a movie. A friend of mine suggested we go see it&#8230; 
A German movie about autocracy (dictatorship)? Sure, sign me up. There&#8217;s just one thing that would make this movie better&#8230; set it on a German U-boat during WWII. Alas, we can&#8217;t have every German movie on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adidas Star Wars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of course, Star Wars merchandise has little (if anything) to do with the world of independent filmmaking. However, I find the concept of Star Wars sneakers strangely attractive!

		<title>Panasonic AG-HPX300</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While the new Panasonic AG-HPX300 might be a bit out of your budget range ($8000 street price), it comes with plenty of bells and whistles. 
It shares pedigree with Panasonic HVX200 and it offers much of the same features: a ton of formats and frame rates. It records on P2 cards as well as DV, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Prince of Persia workout</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now, Jake was pretty ripped in both Jarhead and Brokeback Mountain. 
He takes it to a whole new level for the Prince of Persia.  The Jerry Bruckheimer&#8217;s production seems to be of epic scope indeed, since Jake has an year to get in character: note the hair, it&#8217;s not a wig (I think).
I find [...]]]></description>

		<title>Increased dynamic range (tutorial)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a tutorial on how to increase the dynamic range of an SLR. SLRs and camcorders are pretty close in terms of dynamic ranges, so you might find it useful in your post-production of video as well. Keep in mind that &#8220;digital&#8221; has a significantly smaller range when compared to film, so every little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Warcraft movie gets a screenwriter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ve probably heard that Blizzard has embarked on a quest to extend the World of Warcraft into a movie franchise.
Wired announced that Robert Rodat (the screenwriter of Saving Private Ryan) has been working on a draft for Director Sam Raimi.
That&#8217;s my first concern, when hearing about a game-based movie &#8211; the script. Uwe Boll has [...]]]></description>

First off, the new Sony HVR-Z5U is affordable &#8211; $4200 street price ($4950 list). It&#8217;s in the same league price-wise as Sony Z1 and a bit more expensive than Sony [...]]]></description>

The book describes in detail the development of nonlinear editing (NLE) and computer graphics. The book is written from his perspective of working with Lucasfilm and Pixar. 
I think this could be a valuable tool for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sam Raimi joins Warcraft movie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Blizzard have just announced that Sam Raimi joins the team working on a Warcraft movie. Now, I can understand where their excitement is coming from. After all Sam Raimi has turned the Spiderman franchise into a goose that lays golden eggs.
And on the surface, you could say that Warcraft and Spiderman aren&#8217;t that different. Both [...]]]></description>

		<title>RIP Karl Malden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Karl Malden stars in one of my favorite movies &#8211; Patton. Admittedly, the role of general Omar Bradley isn&#8217;t the one he&#8217;ll be remembered for&#8230; but frankly, A Streetcar Named Desire isn&#8217;t on my favorite movie list.

What an amazing career &#8211; spanning 60 years! Rest in peace.

		<title>Sasha Grey admits to 200 movies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sasha Grey recently starred in the indie movie The Girlfriend Experience. We now learn from her interview for CNBC that she did 200 movies&#8230; No wonder TGE was a bit of let-down for me, Sasha&#8217;s dead-pan performance is a result from her being overworked!

Conan The Barbarian
Amazing soundtrack and little dialogue to distract you from the imagery/music
Das Boot
The only war movie that runs close to 4 hours and I still feel it was cut short

I have seen part one and it was typical teenage fair. In typical Michael Bay tradition, he amped it up in the sequel. The most obvious result is that Megan Fox is SO sexy, it hurts my eyes.

Roland Kickinger

is born in Austria (check)
has been a pro bodybuilder (check)
probably sports a thick Austrian accent (check)

I guess the list could go on and on.  I could imagine someone [...]]]></description>
