		<description><![CDATA[The Dark Knight: A Review 
By John David Ebert 
Nowadays, after the events of 9/11, the Oklahoma city bombing, the Unabomber and even the AUM Shunryuku nerve gas attack on Tokyo subways in the mid 1990s, we take our villains seriously, because we are well aware that there are a number of disquieted souls out there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reviewing an archetypal movie, by John Lobell
Myths are a repository of the structures and mores of a culture, a suprapsychology, a system of principles describing the nature and workings of being, the universe, society, and individual development. Movies have become a dominant artistic form in our culture, and are therefore a major vehicle for the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Incredible Hulk: A Review
By John David Ebert
In a way, Marvel&#8217;s new Hulk movie is not so much a sequel to Ang Lee&#8217;s earlier (and much better) film about one of their most famous comicbook characters as it is a remake of the first movie, for it tells exactly the same story, and does so [...]]]></description>

The original Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, had concerned the descent of a solar hero &#8212; hence, his antipathy to snakes, for snakes are usually lunar &#8212; into the underworld of Egyptian civilization in order to retrieve from the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Iron Man: A Review
By John David Ebert
In ancient mythology, blacksmith heroes are normally devious, crafty, morally ambiguous figures who cannot be trusted. Their creations are often faulty and sometimes redound fatally upon their users. Worse, they are often murderers. The name of Cain, for instance, who committed the world&#8217;s first murder in Biblical mythology, means [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Response to John Ebert&#8217;s Review of Cloverfield
By William Irwin Thompson
As always, John, an interesting spin on the ordinary.  Yes, catastrophes are coming our way, which is why I feature them so strongly in my essay on &#8220;Catastrophist Governance and the Need for a Tricameral Legislature.&#8221; 
But another point is that our culture has been kept in [...]]]></description>

The new film by director Matt Reeves, Cloverfield, shows us an attack upon Manhattan by giant monsters out of a 1950s B movie. It is filmed in the fake documentary style pioneered by the Blair Witch Project and so the whole story is told from the [...]]]></description>

By John David Ebert 
The first James Bond novel, Ian Fleming&#8217;s Casino Royale, appeared in 1953, just as the Korean War was coming to an end and the C.I.A. was planning the removal of Mossadegh from office in Iran. Within a few years, the U.S. government would begin sending U-2 spyplanes [...]]]></description>

By John David Ebert

Andy Warhol was the first great icon painter of electronic society. In contemplating his gallery of celebrity portraits, we are struck by the possibility that some Medieval icon painter, an Andre Rublev, say, had died and been reborn in the twentieth century as a poor kid from [...]]]></description>

By John David Ebert
1.
By now, Mulder and Scully have become almost as famous as their literary prototypes Holmes and Watson. Indeed, in many ways, they strongly resemble this earlier pair of detectives who stand at the threshold of the birth of the forensic genre. Watson, like [...]]]></description>
