"Crash"

Brilliant, utterly brilliant, the best film I've seen so far this year. Full review coming soon, just wanted to let people know that it's definitely a film I'd recommend. I've had my fill of stupid films so far this year - Emo planes and the like - this tackles the issue of racism and does it in a thoughtful and delicate manner, without being preachy or pointing fingers.

Do yourself a favour and go and see it today.

"Bea Arthur?"

Crash was brilliant, I like Don Cheadle, I though he acted well...

The soundtrack is beautiful... such nice ambient tunes. Definitely one to buy, I think. Good recommendation!

Airheads arrived today. It's been years since I saw it, and it's still awesome.

"67 copies of Moby Dick."
"Book or movie?"
"They made a book out of it? Yeah, put it down."

Just watched it now.

Utterly superb, really holds that grip factor that you want from films, with a few almost uncomfortable moments in hand.

Really enjoyable, but also quite eye-opening at the same time.

And for once, a rap star I could actually stand. I thought Ludacris did a pretty good job, and I liked the personality of his character.

"Who's Rodney King?"
"He's that guy."

It all links.

Very, very good film. Saw it a while back, and the wait for it to come out on DVD has and is continuing to be a painful one >_<

Best film I've seen this year too. That scene with the car crash - no that's not giving anything away.. - is fantastic, you can really feel the emotion in it as he's being pulled out the car window. The music is amazing too.
Powerful, indeed. Gonna have to watch it again.
And I love that quote they use in the trailer about how people crash into each other just so they can feel something. Jolly marvellous.

"Lone Rangers? How can you pluralise The Lone Ranger?"

Haven't seen it ages, but I've just gone and ordered it from Play. I miss it so.

In other news, I'm actually watching The Mummy at the moment. It's one of those guilty pleasure films. For me, anyway.

I bought this a few months ago, and it still makes me laugh no matter how many times I watch it.
