		<title>Review and Coming Attractions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New monthly bit here. Just a quick note catching up and looking ahead. A kind of regular check and balance to make sure things are moving in some direction that vaguely resembles &#8220;forward.&#8221;
In Review
Things have been kind of quiet here. Many other concerns have kept me from getting to the backlog of reviews and previews [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trenches: Worth the Wait</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Trenches hit the web today. So far, it&#8217;s looking like it was worth the wait. First three episodes are up at Crackle. Here&#8217;s the first one:

From Crackle: 1: Fubar

My friend Kelley doesn&#8217;t show up just yet, but the production value is pretty high and the space battle and ground conflict are intense.

		<title>Trenches Finally Sees the Light of Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, my friend Kelley was involved in the production of a sci-fi series called Trenches that really piqued my interest. It was an online series with some pretty hefty backing (Disney/ABC) about a bunch of space marines shooting it out on an alien planet when things go from bad to worse.
Unfortunately, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Karate Kid &#8211; We&#8217;ve Changned Almost Everything</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, go and watch this trailer for the new Karate Kid movie staring Jacki Chan and Wil Smith&#8217;s talented son Jaden.

If this weren&#8217;t being billed as The Karate Kid, I don&#8217;t think it would be that bad.
My problem is that, once again, we&#8217;ve taken everything except the most very basic story idea (kid learns martial [...]]]></description>

		<title>Friday the 13th (2009): Just Die Already</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
To say I didn&#8217;t hold out a whole lot of hope for the reboot of the Friday the 13th franchise would only be a slight understatement.
I was relatively happy with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, so seeing the same team involved kept my expectations from being totally negative. There was some small spark of hope [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Scrubs? Not Quite.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Just finished watching the first two episodes of the new season of Scrubs on ABC.
I think that&#8217;ll be the last time I&#8217;ll be watching it for a while.
I&#8217;ve been a bit of a Scrubs fan since it first hit the airwaves. It was different, creative, and populated with solid actors playing horrendously quirky characters. More [...]]]></description>

		<title>NBC-Comcast Merger: Bad for Us?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It looks like Comcast is well on its way to becoming part-owner of NBC-Universal.
According to a post at the New York Time DealBook blog:
 General Electric has reached a tentative agreement to buy Vivendi’s 20 percent stake in NBC Universal for about $5.8 billion, helping clear the path to a sale of the television and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Prisoner: Be Confusing You.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I finally got around to watching the remaining four hours of AMC&#8217;s new version of The Prisoner.
After watching the first two hours when they ran last week, I can&#8217;t say I was terribly impressed. It had potential, sure, but it was missing something. And it seemed a bit more surreal at times than the original [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Strangers: A More Classic Terror</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Liv Tyler attempts to escape from one of the interlopers in The Strangers.

It being the Halloween, I&#8217;ve been in the mood for horror films.
Over the last few years, there has been no shortage of supposedly scary movies. Problem is, most of the ones I&#8217;ve seen haven&#8217;t been all that scary.
Disgusting? Yes. Full of loud noises [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Season Checkup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things in the world outside of that box in front of my couch have kept me a bit behind on much of the new season and a wee bit too busy to get down most of my thoughts. So, here you go, in a short-ish format.
Heroes is wobbling along, sometimes more steady than others. There [...]]]></description>
