Sleeping While Standing (And Other Magic Negro Tales)
As much as I can do without Oprah "The Secret" Winfrey in this movie or anything else (I haven't even watched movies she's financed, like Precious) casting her still kinda makes sense. And though, politically, I know it could get pretty ugly and stupid (being a Weinstein film also starring Forest "I'm Spiritual" Whitaker) I want to see it anyway:

Namaste!
