I saw some movies this weekend
Mirrormask - Visually arresting and totally boring. Fails almost completely as an interesting narrative, but is a completely unfiltered vision of Dave McKean's work. Good for a rental, but you should fast-foward through the slow bits. Oh, and the lead actress is hot.
Diary of a Mad Black Woman - Emory felt it was important that we see this. Now I hate Emory. Seriously, the movie is a trainwreck of epic proportions. The movie shifts tones at a breakneck pace, and not a single genre is neglected. You might say, "What about horror?" and I would point you to the Misery-esque scenes where the female lead tortures her temporarily-paralyzed husband. I'd say the film has to be seen to be believed, but then you might see it.
Magnolia - This movie's still great.
