They say no good deed goes unpunished, so it was fitting that in my desire to support Tyler Perry and his new film Good Deeds, I was rewarded with a reminder of how a turn of charity can turn into two-hours of movie watching grief.

Born to an English father and African mother, Thandie Newton grew up feeling isolated by her differentness. She had no sense of self or how to "fit in." But acting and dance saved her life.

I was pretty excited to hear about Vanishing on 7th Street, where a mysterious, living darkness descends on Detroit. It's a concept ripe for allegory. But it didn't work out that way.
