Nothing but what I put in there.

Dreamgirls - 6/10. Doesn't know where its story is. There's an anger in Effie bigger than any one person, but she's shuttled around, backwards and forwards until she's off the screen and rather than have her leave finally and eloquently, the only story to that point with any substance, any solid arc, she comes back, even more buried. It becomes more about a time and place than a person or thing and, honey, this ain't 'Nashville.' Also, the music blows.
