MySQL vs XML for my new site

[nloding]

I briefly touched on this in the PHP Help forum, but that wasn't the place, so I'm bringing the question here:

I will be setting up a small movie database for a video rental company I'm doing a site for.  It will only feature movies on the New Release wall.  There shouldn't be more than 100 entries at one time.  Each movie needs a cover picture, director, actor, rating, description, dvd features, etc. -- some could get long, especially with the required description.  I would rather do a database of some sort than a new page for every movie.

I'm trying to decide between MySQL or XML -- which, in your opinion, would be better?  Both are pretty much just as easily called and referenced -- I don't need a high end search, or tons of relations between entries (at most, they'll all belong to 1 extra genre category, like Horror or Action).  So MySQL might be a bit much to set up for the simplicity of what I need, but perhaps it's easiest to utilize in the site.

Any opinions??

XML is not a database, even if it's easy to query; not that MySQL 5 doesn't have an easy way to deal with XML data.  I'd go the MySQL route.

MySQL. It's easy and it can do more advanced things easier than you would program a XML parser to do the same stuff.
