I am watching "Shadows and Lies" with James Franco.   What is he doing?  If this is supposed to be creative art, then I really need a crash course on how to understand and appreciate it!  It is the slowest moving, most boring, frustrating and worst background music movie I have had the displeasure of watching.  Who in the world got the idea to make this thing.  Josh Lucas is definitely hard up for work as is Martin Donovan and needless to say, James Franco.  Artsy it is not.  Oh, I forgot to mention it's  depressing as well.
