		<description><![CDATA[Like their American youth-movie counterparts, the 20-something guy friends of Norwegian director Joachim Trier’s Reprise spend a lot of time whining and clumsily pursuing the fairer sex. Only, unlike the cast of, say, American Pie or Animal House, Trier’s characters are as much (or more) concerned with getting published as getting laid, and as likely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the years, it has become progressively easy to take the Final Fantasy series for granted. Cynicism and skepticism are seemingly the only responses that spring up in message boards and blogs whenever a new title is announced or released. Whether it is the graphics, the characters’ artwork, the premise, or the gameplay, there is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The detailed expedition of a strong female character&#8217;s consciousness has made readers in recent decades consider Jane Eyre as a leading feminist text; the novel works both as an absorbing story of an individual woman&#8217;s quest and as a narrative of the dilemmas that confront so many women. Its mythic and gothic qualities are enhanced by the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hurt, I tire, and I collapse. When I’m staring into the darkness, I find somehow entranced by it. Suddenly, I hear laughter. Fearless, mean, and yet kind. It calls to me. The days we spend together are long gone, drifting away like clouds in the breeze. Even though memories are often fleeting, all I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps it is safe to say that Franz Kafka&#8216;s literary uniqueness lies in the fact that he dramatizes conventional figures of speech and endows them with full and consistent detail; his tales act out the implications of metaphors buried in the text. Yet, to see nothing but an extended metaphor in Kafka&#8217;s work is not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How can we describes the rules and conventions of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers without stuttering at least once, not because of its breathtakingly long title, but more so from our hazy insight of its inscrutable structure? We might also wonder how could a game that has been in development for three years, in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Screwball [pronounced skrue’bol] is a noun that means unbalanced, erratic, irrational, and unconventional, in which became a popular slang word in the 1930s. It was applied to films where everything was a juxtaposition: educated and uneducated, rich and poor, intelligent and stupid, honest and dishonest, and most of all male and female. When two people [...]]]></description>

Scott Fitzgerald’s first novel is by introducing this snippet from “Fitzgerald’s Radiant World,” a critical piece written by Thomas Flanagan of The New York Reviews of Books: This Side of Paradise had had a success, which was almost freakish, capturing the aspirations of a [...]]]></description>
