  <description><![CDATA[  So, here I am, scribbling away on reviews of The Producers (excruciating) and The Family Stone (not bad) and then comes this avalanche of e-mail: I have apparently been cited by Matt Drudge for mentioning that King Kong has always had problematic racial overtones. My mail divides evenly between the wing nuts ("It just feels so darn good to battle racism—as long as its[sic] not anti-white racism, which is automatically translated into justice served—that you liberal types tend to see it everywhere") and the indignant African Americans ("You see a monkey? And the next thing you think of is a black man?").<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2132188/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[  Having little to add to Meghan O'Rourke's eloquent and persuasive examination of C.S. Lewis' Narnia books and the author's allegedly overriding Christianity, it falls to this resident film critic to say that The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Touchstone) has been turned into an entertaining, emotional, and surprisingly intimate movie—an epic saga of fauns and talking (Cockney) beavers and evil sorceresses and triumphal resurrections and massive, sweeping battles that nonetheless feels … small.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2131913/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[  You won't be reading reviews of the dystopian sci-fi flick Aeon Flux (Paramount) in the papers today because it wasn't screened for the press—and, given that it cost the GDP of a small country and that Charlize Theron and the director, Karyn Kusama (Girlfight), are critics' darlings, this could mean but one thing: A stinker.
