		<description><![CDATA[A Freudian Slip Up

Starring: Michael Fassbender, Viggo Mortensen
Review written by Robert Patrick
Director David Cronenberg is known for his spatterfests, where heads explode like Gallagher watermelons, guts spew from television sets, and severed fingers are nonchalantly plucked like flower petals in a child&#8217;s hand. In recent years the maestro of macabre has toned down the science [...]]]></description>

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Watts
Review written by Robert Patrick
Warner Brothers should have renamed J. Edgar &#8220;Watch Clint Eastwood Fall Asleep at the Wheel&#8221;. This historical biopic about the advent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is terse, rife with plasticity, and about as warm as an insulated container [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Revolution In Fragments

Starring: Angela Davis, Stokely Carmichael
Review written by Robert Patrick
Director Göran Olsson&#8217;s documentary, The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975, has a clunky, cumbersome title; the name is like a topiary that needs reshaping. Something with more steely brevity, clenched fist punctuality would be more fitting of this snapshot of the Black Power movement in [...]]]></description>

Starring: Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill
Review written by Robert Patrick
If I had said that there would be a movie released this year about sulking and computer screens, you would probably predict that the film was about a depressed teenager glued to his PC. Alas, the fog has lifted and instead it is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How To Make WWII Uninteresting

Starring: Martijn Lakemeier, Yorick van Wageningen
Review by Robert Patrick
Filmmakers continuously draw from the monochrome pool of barbed history that is World War II. It&#8217;s a repetition compulsion fueled by an acrimonious past that binds us all together. The timeline of atrocities finds itself wrapped around the wrists of every continent; the [...]]]></description>

Starring: Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush
Written by Robert Patrick
I wanted the title of this review to be “Colin Firth is Adorable; Makes Doe-Eyed Expressions”, but then I thought I could also go with “English People Look Regal; Walk Around Haplessly”. I decided against both, but managed, despite it being entirely inconsequential, to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Written by Robert Patrick
George Fox aka Client-9 aka Eliot Spitzer has more pseudonyms than a cold war spy. These politicians, day traders and wall street moguls are so colorful they make a rainbow look monochrome. I think of comic-book characters like Two-Face and Kingpin, snickering and gallivanting around these crosshatched and seedy [...]]]></description>

Starring: Hugh Hefner, Gene Simmons
By Robert Patrick
Hugh Hefner’s name is synonymous with so much and yet so little. The impresario, cloaked in his now obligatory robe, is like a messiah atop a mystical mountain of excess and intrigue. How can a man whose face is so universally known have a soul so devastatingly [...]]]></description>

Starring: Toni Servillo, Anna Bonaiuto
By Robert Patrick



Il Divo might be an adult contemporary band in the United States and England, but to the people of Italy, the moniker Il Divo refers to the country’s often disparaged former prime minister, Giulio Andreotti. When you look at the doddering Andreotti, you may question where the [...]]]></description>
