Despite it's low production value, I thought it was a genuinely interesting film. It has a strange, almost experimental structure that bounces around from found footage documentary to fake documentary to narrative film. I also thought it was Wood's way of trying to make some sense of his "condition." It felt personal and from the heart.

TOY STORY 3 - Solid entertainment of the Pixar brand, but an unnecessary sequel that adds nothing to the story.

CHÉRI - Average period piece, but worth seeing for Michelle Pfeiffer's incredibly acting - and body.
