"Blueberry" sours: Opening night disappoints, satisfies


For those keeping score at home, I hope you didn't base your Palme D'Or bets on the recommendations of Bodog.com. General consensus on Wong Kar Wai's "My Blueberry Nights"? Mixed to feh. In other words, it's like almost every other opening-night film in Cannes' history.  If you're "Fanfan La Tulipe," that means something for the film's release. And if you're "The Da Vinci Code," it doesn't. In the meantime, if your betting appetites remain unsatisfied, consider wagering on whether Michael Moore will be arrested before the release of "Sicko."  Harvey Weinstein will be disappointed to know that gamblers have their doubts.

Those reviews weren't TERRIBLE...they were ok. I still want to see it.
