</title><link>http://metropulse.com/news/2009/jan/06/hoffman-and-streep-give-us-reasonable-doubt/?partner=RSS</link><description><![CDATA[The discovery of sex, like the discovery of one’s religious faith, initially promises a life of joyful communion. Instead, both generally bequeath journeys of unbearable loneliness. Making a mournful plunge for the heart of these twin, paradoxical transcendences is <em>Doubt</em>, directed by John Patrick Shanley in an adaptation of his own four-hander stage play. <img src="http://media.metropulse.com/metr/content/img/photos/2009/01/06/doubt_streep.jpg"/> ]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:43:00 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-14157-733413</guid><enclosure url="http://media.metropulse.com/metr/content/img/news/tease/2009/01/06/doubt_streep.jpg" length="18586" type="text/plain"></enclosure><category>movies/reviews</category><apcm:ContentMetadata><apcm:ByLine Title="Staff">Kieron Barry</apcm:ByLine><apcm:DateLine>Knoxville, TN</apcm:DateLine><apcm:HeadLine>Hoffman and Streep Give Reasonable Doubt</apcm:HeadLine><apcm:Characteristics MediaType="Text"></apcm:Characteristics><apcm:Source Url="http://metropulse.com" City="Knoxville" CountryArea="TN">MetroPulse</apcm:Source><apcm:SlugLine>hoffman-and-streep-give-us-reasonable-doubt</apcm:SlugLine></apcm:ContentMetadata><apnm:NewsManagement><apnm:ManagementId>urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-14157-733413</apnm:ManagementId><apnm:ManagementType>Change</apnm:ManagementType><apnm:ManagementSequenceNumber>0</apnm:ManagementSequenceNumber><apnm:PublishingStatus>Usable</apnm:PublishingStatus></apnm:NewsManagement></item><item><title>The Spirit is Weak

In Slumdog Millionaire the slums of Paris are now the toxic entrails of a re-industrialized Mumbai, and the deus ex machina of the winning Parisian lottery ticket is an anti-statistical streak through Who Wants to Be a Rupee Millionaire?  <img src="http://media.metropulse.com/metr/content/img/photos/2008/12/23/slumdog_1.jpg"/> ]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 23 Dec 2008 19:01:00 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-14129-733399</guid><category>ae-reviews/movies</category><apcm:ContentMetadata><apcm:ByLine Title="Staff">Kieron Barry</apcm:ByLine><apcm:DateLine>Knoxville, TN</apcm:DateLine><apcm:HeadLine>Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?</apcm:HeadLine><apcm:Characteristics MediaType="Text"></apcm:Characteristics><apcm:Source Url="http://metropulse.com" City="Knoxville" CountryArea="TN">MetroPulse</apcm:Source><apcm:SlugLine>who-wants-be-millionaire</apcm:SlugLine></apcm:ContentMetadata><apnm:NewsManagement><apnm:ManagementId>urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-14129-733399</apnm:ManagementId><apnm:ManagementType>Change</apnm:ManagementType><apnm:ManagementSequenceNumber>0</apnm:ManagementSequenceNumber><apnm:PublishingStatus>Usable</apnm:PublishingStatus></apnm:NewsManagement></item><item><title>Van Sant Delivers Milk

Thompson would have to approach a Thompson bio-doc with some trepidation. Given his well-deserved reputation as a trailblazing journalist and prose stylist—and his equally well-deserved renown as an outsized personality/crank, ripped to the tits on a panoply of narcotics and heavily armed—it’s easy to imagine a filmmaker seeking the proper balance of stories to tell and getting it wrong. Fortunately, Thompson drew Alex Gibney (<em>Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room</em>, <em>Taxi to the Dark Side</em>). <img src="http://media.metropulse.com/metr/content/img/photos/2008/12/10/gonzo.jpg"/> ]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 10 Dec 2008 20:52:00 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-14094-733386</guid><category>ae-reviews/dvd-tv</category><apcm:ContentMetadata><apcm:ByLine Title="Staff">Lee Gardner</apcm:ByLine><apcm:DateLine>Knoxville, TN</apcm:DateLine><apcm:HeadLine>Fear and Secrets</apcm:HeadLine><apcm:Characteristics MediaType="Text"></apcm:Characteristics><apcm:Source Url="http://metropulse.com" City="Knoxville" CountryArea="TN">MetroPulse</apcm:Source><apcm:SlugLine>fear-and-secrets</apcm:SlugLine></apcm:ContentMetadata><apnm:NewsManagement><apnm:ManagementId>urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-14094-733386</apnm:ManagementId><apnm:ManagementType>Change</apnm:ManagementType><apnm:ManagementSequenceNumber>0</apnm:ManagementSequenceNumber><apnm:PublishingStatus>Usable</apnm:PublishingStatus></apnm:NewsManagement></item><item><title>Brass Tacks

HBO was trotting out its first season of <em>The Wire</em>, and at the same time the FX cable network treated audiences to <em>The Shield</em>, another new show that threw light on the labyrinthine complexities and dark back-channels of modern police work.  ]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 26 Nov 2008 15:16:00 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-14038-733372</guid><category>ae-reviews/dvd-tv</category><apcm:ContentMetadata><apcm:ByLine Title="Staff">Paul Lewis</apcm:ByLine><apcm:DateLine>Knoxville, TN</apcm:DateLine><apcm:HeadLine>Brass Tacks</apcm:HeadLine><apcm:Characteristics MediaType="Text"></apcm:Characteristics><apcm:Source Url="http://metropulse.com" City="Knoxville" CountryArea="TN">MetroPulse</apcm:Source><apcm:SlugLine>brass-tacks</apcm:SlugLine></apcm:ContentMetadata><apnm:NewsManagement><apnm:ManagementId>urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-14038-733372</apnm:ManagementId><apnm:ManagementType>Change</apnm:ManagementType><apnm:ManagementSequenceNumber>0</apnm:ManagementSequenceNumber><apnm:PublishingStatus>Usable</apnm:PublishingStatus></apnm:NewsManagement></item><item><title>Whatever Happened to Randolph Scott?

Not all old B Westerns are so easily dismissed, however. Filmmakers such as John Ford, Howard Hawks, and Anthony Mann have long been acknowledged as major artists by even casual film fans, but hardcore film and Western nerds have had the name Budd Boetticher (pronounced “BET-ick-er”) on their lips for decades. <img src="http://media.metropulse.com/metr/content/img/photos/2008/11/19/budd_boetticher.jpg"/> ]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:00:00 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-14013-733365</guid><category>ae-reviews/dvd-tv</category><apcm:ContentMetadata><apcm:ByLine Title="Staff">Lee Gardner</apcm:ByLine><apcm:DateLine>Knoxville, TN</apcm:DateLine><apcm:HeadLine>Whatever Happened to Randolph Scott?</apcm:HeadLine><apcm:Characteristics MediaType="Text"></apcm:Characteristics><apcm:Source Url="http://metropulse.com" City="Knoxville" CountryArea="TN">MetroPulse</apcm:Source><apcm:SlugLine>whatever-happened-randolph-scott</apcm:SlugLine></apcm:ContentMetadata><apnm:NewsManagement><apnm:ManagementId>urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-14013-733365</apnm:ManagementId><apnm:ManagementType>Change</apnm:ManagementType><apnm:ManagementSequenceNumber>0</apnm:ManagementSequenceNumber><apnm:PublishingStatus>Usable</apnm:PublishingStatus></apnm:NewsManagement></item></channel></rss>
