Friday night I saw a dreary French film nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film -- "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly."

Have you ever heard of "shut-in syndrome?" It's a brain injury where the body is paralyzed but the mind continues to function. You're basically trapped inside a non-moving body.

The movie is based on a true story about a guy who can only move one eyelid and dictates a book by blinking whenever the right letter is called out to spell words.

It's horrifying to think about and inspirational to think that someone was able to overcome such circumstances -- but an enjoyable movie it does not make.
