		<title>Short Film Showcase: A Darker Shade of Gray</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A black and white movie about the gray areas of personal morality, duty and what happens when you can’t seem to work it all out.  A Darker Shade of Gray’s direction at the hands of newcomer Daniel Etheridge greatly outshines its narrative with a very fine eye for detail when it comes to the editing [...]]]></description>

		<title>It came from the Sin Bin: &#8220;Nature Unleashed: Fire&#8221;!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
While perusing Wal-Mart on a mission to find some sort of sustenance, I crossed paths with destiny. Walking past the nine dollar movies and the seven dollar movies I found myself at the five dollar movies. The discount bin, or the “sin bin” as it will heretofor be known, is full of majesty and wonder [...]]]></description>

		<title>Documentaries: Honeymoon (18+)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The focus of this week&#8217;s review is a documentary called Honeymoon.  It is a film about Japanese pornography, so, if that offends you, you know what to do.

For tackling a subject this compelling to a male such as myself, &#8216;Honeymoon&#8217; sure is a bore.
It seems to me that, when trying to present a document of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Microbudget Movies: It Came From Uranus!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If you&#8217;re not enticed to watch this movie simply by reading the title, then it isn&#8217;t for you.  Don&#8217;t even try to give it a shot.  The rest of us, however, will find an adventure in &#8216;It Came From Uranus&#8217; to rival the cheese of any Doctor Who story arc from way back when.  In [...]]]></description>

		<title>Microbudget Movies: The Creek</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Creek is a horror movie that fails in only one aspect if, in fact, it is intended to be a pure horror/slasher movie: it is not scary.  Where it did win me over, however, was it&#8217;s heavy reliance on characterization and acting.

Generally a horror movie requires actors to become a stereotype to give the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Documentaries: Snuff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Snuff is a documentary with a certain type of hype behind it, the kind of hype that says &#8220;Don&#8217;t watch, go away!&#8221; knowing that your brain is tickled from the moment you hear about it.  Like Faces of Death before it, Snuff explores death on camera, but this time it is to a more serious [...]]]></description>

		<title>Microbudget Films: Silence, ca tue!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This installment of Microbudget Films comes all the way from Belgium, home to a great American hero: Jean Claude Van Damme. I would like to preface this entire article with this quip from the guru himself: &#8220;You don&#8217;t need a flash to photograph a rabbit that already has red eyes.&#8221;  You have to really give [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seeking Distribution: The Shadow People</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There&#8217;s something innately unambitious about making a slasher film these days.  It&#8217;s less of a genre and more of a script template.  However, Keith Parker&#8217;s Shadow People delivers on the gore and some cool, homemade special effects to keep things spicy.
One of the things I like about film is that it, like few other mediums, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Short Film Showcase: Red Door</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Red Door plays out like a great episode of The Twilight Zone, and even without Rod Serling&#8217;s smoky monologue to introduce the tale, it&#8217;s a great flick.  Its strength lies in the central mystery presented at the very beginning: What  the hell is behind that Red Door?  The question, however, is not the only thing [...]]]></description>
