		<description><![CDATA[Is this a silly piece or what?  Virtually all big budget releases, &quot;Noah&quot; included,  peak at the box office during opening weekend.  And with the new &quot;Captain America&quot; movie coming out last Friday, the focus obviously turned to that.  The notion that the decline in &quot;Noah&quot; box office was due to a moral &quot;boycott&quot; is absurd.  Any number of clergy, in fact, put their stamp of approval on it.  

For the record, I saw &quot;Noah&quot; over the weekend.  It was a wildly imaginative and vivid film by a great filmmaker, Darren Aronofsky.  Of course, it took artistic license.  How exactly does one make a movie about a flood that destroys the whole world, save for a family and animals, without taking some liberties with the written source material?  

This whole business of equating film quality with box office is a weird obsession.  Time for the Medved/Breitbart types to get over it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was the worst adaptation of Robin Hood I&#039;ve ever seen (I&#039;ve never seen the Britcom. It&#039;s rumored to be even worse.) 

One of the jokes in Men in Tights was a slam on Crowe&#039;s miserable acting as Robin Hood:

&quot;And why will they listen to you?&quot;

&quot;Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent.&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, it was a complaint by Hollywood that DVDs/BluRays of new movies just weren&#039;t selling. 

It should be a clue to them that 9 of 10 movies for the THIRD year in a row are losing money. It should also be a clue what is selling: old movies and old sitcoms.

A new over-the-air network called METV (Memorable Entertainment TV) is doing well with old programs.]]></description>
