		<description><![CDATA[Has Sauron struck again? From the furious debates playing across DVD/Blu-ray forums, where some the most passionate fans and exacting collectors can be found registering their praise and displeasures with upcoming and new releases (often in hyperbolic dimensions and a hostile tone), you might assume that there&#8217;s a new war brewing over the fate of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The works of Stanley Kubrick never failed to generate debate and, at times, deep-seeded controversy when they arrived in theaters, so it&#8217;s no surprise that they have generated almost as much debate (though for entirely different reasons) in their home video releases. Kubrick was a perfectionist in all areas of his filmmaking, including presentation, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In March 2010, Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi (The White Balloon, The Circle, Crimson Gold and Offside) was arrested and locked up in Tehran&#8217;s Evin prison, initially for &#8220;unspecified crimes,&#8221; then on charges directly related to his work. Though Mr. Panahi&#8217;sÂ award-winning films have broughtÂ creditÂ to his native land, his countrymen have been banned from seeing hisÂ work during [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[Originally published in Movietone News 10, January 1972] Sam Peckinpah&#8217;s Straw Dogs reminds us that in our rush to civilization, we too often deny the violent origins of our favorite myths and rituals—and pretend that the primal power of our lizard brains never was.
