Re: Crash
I really liked Crash, but I do see what you are saying, Scott.

I think though, that for mainstream America this movie had to be told the way it was. For instance, for people like my mother, whom I don't even know if she saw the movie, but for her type of people (typical white-american middle class says they are not racist, but in fact they are) this movie can open their eyes up to see things in a different light.


About Hustle & Flow, I was let down by that too. I was expecting something much better and thinking along the lines of Boyz in da Hood. Actually, I just watched this on DVD the other night, and the trailer for 50 Cent's movie was on it. That looked better than Hustle & Flow.
