Saw "Everything Must Go". It was categorized in the comedy section of HBO On Demand. It starred Will Ferrell, with brief appearances from Michael Pena and Laura Dern.

It was a dark comedy, with few laughs. I would not recommend it, and I wish I had chosen another movie.

Unfortunately I can't see it until this Friday when Mrs. Swirls gets back into town from trips to Florida and Vegas.

black panther was a decent movie, great visuals and compelling (if shallow) characters, but the plot and subtext were too weak to take me to the next level of enjoyment... i don't see it cinematically as far and above the rest of the marvel movies despite it being praised as such

It wasn't necessarily the plot itself that I loved so much. It was just awesome to see Hollywood go all in on a big budget action flick with an (almost) all black cast, that portrayed Africa in a totally different light. The music, the costumes, the couple of not-so-subtle digs at western civilization... all were so well done.
