Get information from a xml imdb response with no tags

Question

I'm working on a movie data base, getting responses from imdb. I'm getting the response in a xml format, but it has no tags, just the information mixed. How can I get each of the data in there?

Here's how the respone shows up:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><root response="True">
 <movie title="Batman" year="1989" rated="PG-13" released="23 Jun 1989" runtime="126 min" genre="Action, Adventure" director="Tim Burton" writer="Bob Kane (Batman characters), Sam Hamm (story), Sam Hamm (screenplay), Warren Skaaren (screenplay)" actors="Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Kim Basinger, Robert Wuhl" plot="Gotham City. Crime boss Carl Grissom (Jack Palance) effectively runs the town but there's a new crime fighter in town - Batman (Michael Keaton).

After falling out between the two Grissom has Napier set up with the Police and Napier falls to his apparent death in a vat of chemicals. However, he soon reappears as The Joker and starts a reign of terror in Gotham City. Meanwhile, reporter Vicki Vale (Kim Basinger) is in the city to do an article on Batman.
