		<description><![CDATA[The general consensus for this year’s Academy Awards is that the “Best Picture” category boils down to two films – Avatar and The Hurt Locker. Among that consensus there’s a great many people who feel The Hurt Locker will win; but if you’re curious to know how the Academy will vote look no further than [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rackingfocus.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9798222&amp;post=103&amp;subd=rackingfocus&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I have no inside info but I&#8217;ll attempt to explain it from my limited understanding. Perhaps I&#8217;m right, perhaps I&#8217;m wrong.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve said it before but it warrants repeating &#8212; Michael Mann is the most cerebral filmmaker working in Hollywood today. He immerses himself in research about the characters, the careers and lifestyles of his film&#8217;s subjects. He doesn&#8217;t approach a story from the outside but, rather, exhausts all resources to inject himself into the subject [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rackingfocus.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9798222&amp;post=48&amp;subd=rackingfocus&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

This is quite problematic in most scenarios but one of the few good things about it is the freshness I&#8217;m able to see films I love with on repeated viewings.

		<description><![CDATA[ By far, the best thing that came along with the technological jump from VHS tapes to Laserdisc and DVD discs has been the audio commentary. There&#8217;s nothing complicated about it, just an additional audio track that plays instead of the film&#8217;s intended sound track with commentary from someone affiliated with the film. Typically, the speaker [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rackingfocus.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9798222&amp;post=23&amp;subd=rackingfocus&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
