If you’ve been camping out in theaters for the last five days with your G Chat set to “unavailable”, we salute you. Living la vida DIFF isn’t for the faint of heart, or stomach for that matter. I’m curious: what’s the largetst thing you’ve smuggled into a theater by now? Was it Pretzel M&Ms tiny or Chili’s fajitas to-go big? Either way, keep playing it cool; nobody’s on to you.
Here’s our picks for Tuesday, April 17. Just click on the titles for more background.

10:45 (Magnolia 5) Still Life — What’s the opposite of a feel-good? Whatever the name, that’s where Still Life is filed. This movie explores those portions of a dysfunctional family that even they are unaware exists, then leaves them soaking in a desire for resolution.
