Crash

“Crash” was a good movie. I don’t know/give a crap that it won the oscar for best picture.

Who is America’s favourite lovable loser girl in those romantic comedies? Sandra Bullock. I always found it funny how in the movie universe, girls who look like Bullock have trouble getting dates. I guess Bill Gates can’t get a bank loan in an upcoming movie and Osama Bin Laden is wearing a crucifix (maybe Doris Day really was a virgin).

In “Crash” she plays a total upper-class, illegal maid hiring bitch. She was great. If she has played other roles like this, I have not sent those films.

I think, by definition, a movie with Don Cheadle in it is going to be good.

I forget Mat Dillon exists from time to time and still see that young pretty boy from the early 80s. He plays a racist LAPD cop who did not want to be a racist but it just worked out that way (racism and LAPD are two words often found together) . He tells a rookie cop that he too will become a person very different from who he thought he would be after he has been on the job for a while.

The plot is sort of contrived, but that’s what fiction is.

Both of the characters played by Bullock and Dillon turn out not to be as bad as you think they are.

Marina Sirtas, who’s English/Greek in real life, plays a Persian woman – she’s a little pale for Persian, but that was ok.

I have only watched it once, but I think “Crash” is a film that you can watch over and over again and see different things at different times.

I give it 2 ½ thumbs up.

Well, I have to go and cruise for girls who look like Sandra Bullock as they might really need to get asked out for the first time in a long time.
