Dude your post is so full of inanities I don't even know how to respond. For your information I'm not trying to pass 8th grade lit when on GR and on a side note literary subjects have always been my strongest back in school allowing me not only to pass, but kick ass. Yes I'm praised for my writing and I obviously don't spend hours figuring out what my lead character should do when posting on an Internet forum. However fellow rockers generally appreciate it when I go on a little funny skit of fiction, which I do from time to time. Anyway it's obvious that you think your shit don't stink and since you're so smart every movie is pedestrian and lame why don't you go and worship your cock or whatever it is you cool kids do these days.
PS: Hey you forgot to mention the "aboots" don't cha know?

I'd like to give a shout-out to Raspberry Gashes, S&R's Mom and Kingcap72...Really you guys are great, give yourselves a raise!
Anyway, more on
Crash here (may contain spoilers if you haven't seen the film):
Crash is not a movie about racism, racism is only a part of that movie. Though racism plays throughout the movie, only two characters are truly "about" racism. The Matt Dillon and Ryan Phillippe ones.And it was pretty much the point that Ryan ended up more unlikable than Matt. As I said the movie isn't about racism, it's about character. Who we are, who are others? Who do we think we are, who are we really, who do we pretend to be, who do we think others are, who are those people really and who are those people pretending to be? Obviously the girl didn't die because the gun was filled with blanks, unbeknowst to the Iranian dude, because those were the bullets his daughter bought at the beginning of the film. The belief that they weren't blanks however affects the Iranian deeply, as seen by his closing dialogue. Sandra Bullock was an angry bitch BEFORE slipping down the stairs and realizing who the people around her really were. Matt Dillon is a racist because he loves his father but it is overt racism and deep down he's a good person. Ryan Phillippe however pretends to be a "good person" but is actually 100% insecure and prejudiced. Etc, etc... This obviously doesn't even come close to scratching the surface of a very deeply layered movie, but hey I have other things to do. If you did like it, I'm glad you were able to appreciate it, if you didn't, well too bad, better luck next time. This is one movie I can't understand how you can just downright dismiss every part of however.

Anyway, I went to see
August Rush, at the cinema => A bucket full of cheese all right, but they forgot to mix in the cotton candy. It's obviously predictable as hell, and doesn't really bring anything to the table. It's technically conventional and the performances are ok, all the actors have done more interesting jobs elsewhere. And for a movie which centers around music so much the main theme by Mark Mancina & Hans Zimmer is allright, but certainly not spectacular (ok, maybe it is for a 12 year old). Alexandre Desplat's & Aaron Zigman's theme to
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium blows it out of the water. Actually
Magorium blows
August Rush out of the water, period.
Also,
Saboteur (1942), by Alfred Hitchcock, at home => Really good. A classic "wrongfully accused" film which still holds really well, in both story, mood and visuals. Not much more to say about it. Great film.
