		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;Wrestling picture &#8211; what do you need, a road map?&#8217; says a Thalberg-like producer to the eponymous Barton Fink. This suggests that wrestling pictures aren&#8217;t meant to be too complicated. They involve guts, grief, glory, passion, and big men in tights. Darren Aronofsky&#8217;s The Wrestler squares with this aesthetic but, framed by a landscape of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=floggingfilm.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4399523&amp;post=36&amp;subd=floggingfilm&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Where some of the Coen&#8217;s other numbnut comedies celebrate the pratfall &#8216;limitations&#8217; of their characters, Burn After Reading comes with a bit more satirical bite. There is a scenario. And the film spends most of its time trying to narrate the scenario. It tells it from the perspective of Osborne Cox (John Malkovich), an [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=floggingfilm.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4399523&amp;post=26&amp;subd=floggingfilm&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like many of the pies in which David O. Selznick had his fat little fingers, George Cukor&#8217;s 1944 Gaslight has a touch of Victorian melodrama about it. But with a little studio polish, melodrama can make the silver screen sparkle. Subsequent to the film&#8217;s success the movie-going vernacular has picked up the verb &#8216;to gaslight&#8217;, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=floggingfilm.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4399523&amp;post=22&amp;subd=floggingfilm&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

But in the case of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, you come away with a much stronger sense of what it means [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=floggingfilm.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4399523&amp;post=19&amp;subd=floggingfilm&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Between the age of about eight and twelve I must have watched Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in excess of twenty times (and this, according to the critical consensus, is the snakepit of the trilogy).
