		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; &#160; I know, I know, it&#8217;a fluff. I don&#8217;t care, I loved this movie! An old family of Louisiana witches faces a battle with their town when the local Christians think the &#8220;new girl&#8221; is too witchy to be at school with their sweet little Jesus worshipping Mean Girls. It&#8217;s full of wonderful [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This astute blog post from a media studies professor shares an update on the Princess Merida brouhaha: Disney has pulled the 2D image of the new version of the doll from their website. The Christian Science Monitor weighed in with a piece that went directly to the source, asking a seven year old fan which version she preferred.

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s plenty of interesting and exciting media news this Samhain season. Perhaps most interesting is that Samhain itself, or Hallowe&#8217;en, is not being covered quite so fervishly in the news as it has been in recent years. Why? Are we finally become part of the culture and no longer &#8220;special&#8221;? Was our brief tournee as [...]]]></description>
