I’ve spent all year hating the Chicago Bears for denying the New Orleans Saints their first shot at a Super Bowl appearance. The 39-14 drubbing they laid on the Saints at Soldier Field during the conference championships back in January still stings. But now I’m starting to think the Bears did New Orleans a favor [...]]]></description>

David Silverman, USA, 2007
Rating: 3.5
Fans of The Simpsons – whether they’re diehards who can rattle off the names of writers and show runners across the program’s lengthy run or more casual, occasional admirers – expect a lot from a big-screen adaptation of the long-running TV show. How could they not? The Simpsons stands [...]]]></description>

Len Wiseman, USA, 2007
Rating: 3.8
It’s been a pretty hectic couple of months. I was recently promoted to Editor in Chief at the weekly paper I’ve worked at for almost three years, and as you’ve no doubt noticed, Shaking Through has suffered as a result. I’m trying to get caught up with [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been a quiet few weeks here at Shaking Through World Headquarters for a number of reasons. The first and most important is that I recently changed jobs, leaping headfirst into a very demanding new role that has consumed pretty much every waking weekday hour (and quite a few weekends) since late May.

Michael Bay, USA, 2007
Rating: 3.3
Let’s face it: Transformers is stupid. Always has been. Even during its heyday in the ‘80s, it was a hokey piece of pop-cultural flotsam designed to sell toys. The mythology, if you want to call it that, was/is bush league and amateurish. Sentient robots is one thing – call me [...]]]></description>

There’s a definite brink-of-disaster underpinning to many of the releases under scrutiny this month, and such underlying tension can only mean one thing: Great artistic rewards for [...]]]></description>

Gore Verbinski, USA, 2007
Rating: 2.8
Give the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise this much credit, at least: It&#8217;s proven clever in its appropriation of character names and plot elements from disparate outposts of piratical and seafaring mythology, from the Flying Dutchman to the Kraken to Davy Jones&#8217; locker to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wilco: Sky Blue Sky
Nonesuch, 2007
Rating: 4.4
Musically, Sky Blue Sky, Wilco’s sixth studio release, is organic and liberated-sounding; lyrically, it continues to explore the themes of alienation and ambiguous communication that have concerned chief lyricist/singer Jeff Tweedy throughout the malleable band’s hurly-burly history. That Sky Blue Sky is among the most sonically unified sets in the [...]]]></description>
