"Dark Corners started out as a pretty interesting horror movie with Thora Birch ("Train") playing dual roles as a depressed, poor woman having beautiful dreams and a wealthy, happy woman having nightmares. They seemed to be dreaming each other's lives. And then it just descended into making zero sense and plausibility. I don't mind bending the rules of space and time. But there needs to be something I can hold onto as possible.Gran Torino gives us Clint Eastwood ("Million Dollar Baby") at his grizzled best.

I am unable to discuss my objections (limited as they are) to the movie without revealing elements of the ending, so you're warned here. if… is a collection of vignettes about life at the boarding school. There is no story in the usual sense at characters wander in and out of the picture. At the beginning we follow a boy named Jute (Sean Bury) as he arrives at the school and learns it's complex and somewhat bizarre social rules, but he quickly fades into the background. We never forget him, perhaps because he is new the environment he has a degree of hope and optimism that everyone seems to lack. These people are rich, but this is a terrible place- there is a random and pointless hierarchy.
