Did you see Tree of Life yet? Probably not as it grossed about $36 at the box office. I was surprised to learn that three months after its release it is still playing at the Sunshine Cinema in NYC, apparently the theater has much greater aspirations of becoming a Trader Joes or an Urban Outfitters. Not to take anything away from Sunshine Cinema, it’s one of the last remaining places in the city where you can watch a movie without constantly being reminded of how much you hate people, but here’s hoping it doesn’t program itself into oblivion. Oh, the picture of Sean Penn above? That’s about how much screen time he has in this flick, so get a good look, if you’ve just got a thing for Madonna’s ex husband, you’ll probably be disappointed with this film.
