Having been there this week, I can say that there are some wonderful things there to see, especially if you are a film buff of any kind. There are numerous artifacts from various movies, including the mask from The Mask, razzle-dazzle suits from Chicago and even the creepy possessed girl from The Exorcist. The museum has lots of fun bits of pop culture, even with a room dedicated to video games, having numerous old-school arcade games including Space Invaders.
The upstairs is dedicated to various forms of reality, which is actually a little disappointing. Most of things installed there are either rather boring or something most museum goers would already have access to. (For example, there is a video of Second Life and a Wii-like game.)
By far the most artistic and fascinating thing is Dictators Versus Dolls, an eleven minute video. The animation is superb and beautiful, and it depicts battles of various dolls (including Barbie) with various world dictators, including the leaders of Libya and South Korea. It is visually stunning and makes you wish that you could see more films done this way.
