$channel['title'] = $xml->channel->title;

foreach ($xml->channel->item as $item)
{

    //echo $article['title'] = $item->title;
    //echo $article['link'] = $item->link;
    echo $article['pubDate'] = $item->pubDate;
    echo $article['description'] = (string) trim($item->description);

If you urlencode() the URL parameters (i.e. $movie), it should work as expected.

Example:

$data = file_get_contents('http://news.google.com.mx/news?hl=es&gl=mx&q='. urlencode($movie) .'&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&um=1&ie=UTF-8&output=rss')
