I had to see this movie even though it appeared to go straight to On Demand TV. Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell. Same director as Lobster, a film I loved last year that cost me a few friendships.

One thing that makes me truly angry is a book or movie or play that doesn't bother to make sense. Case in point the horror movie I watched last night on cable with Michelle Williams and Oliver Platt and other good actors: Shut In. Michelle cares for her paralyzed teen stepson for months following a car accident in which her husband was killed. Naturally the kid is faking all along just to be cared for by her. What drove me crazy: - He jumps up from bed, runs around swinging an axe, and axes several people without breaking a sweat. Now we all know that people who have been laid up for a few weeks or more have to get physical therapy to learn how to walk again. - Michelle's a child psycholog
