SherryBaby is one of those painful to watch films that are really important for actors/actress to show off their chops, but, as a viewer, you feel like you
have to see it more than you
want to see it. So, I spent 90 some minutes watching Maggie Gyllenhaal ("Stranger Than Fiction") suffer. And she was fabulous. She plays a woman who just got out of jail and wants to get her daughter back. But her brother and sister-in-law have been taking care of the girl while she was locked up. And it's sad. And it's hard to watch. And Gyllenhaal takes off her clothes a lot.
Poseidon is a pretty average disaster movie. Everyone's on a big boat. A freak wave hits it. Boat capsizes. A brave few try to escape. The effects were good. Kurt Russell ("Grindhouse") rules. Josh Lucas ("Glory Road") sucks. That pretty much sums it up.
