1.Crash [Blu-ray] starring: Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock, Thandie Newton, Karina Arroyave, Dato Bakhtadze directed by: Paul Haggis June 27, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $29.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $15.95 You Save: $14.04 (47%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $14.97
Unrealistic story and unrealistic dialogue can work in a more stylized or surreal piece. The suspension of reality still works. But Crash, a seemingly more naturalistic film about the malignant effects of racism, such elements become distracting, and ultimately sabotage the effort. Haggis is high-minded here, but his lack of subtlety is self-defeating, making the film predictable in parts and preposterous in others. Good performances by Matt Dillon and Terrence Howard are wasted in this film that wants us to believe that, in a city of 4.5 million, such unrelated stories would happen to intersect so seemlessly. Only in a Seinfeld episode.

4.In Too Deep starring: Omar Epps, LL Cool J, Nia Long, Stanley Tucci, Hill Harper directed by: Michael Rymer February 15, 2000

In Too Deep is a urban drama that was overlooked in 1999. Omar Epps is good in the lead role a J. Reid/Jeffery Cole an undercover cop who begins to lose his mind while trying to get close to God ( a drug lord) played very effectively by LL Cool in one of his best performances ever. The direction and cinematography are very good and the film features cameos from rappers Nas, Stickay Fingaz and Jeramine Dupri. While the film isn't as good as Deep Cover it's still worth a look.

Many teachers in today's school systems must feel helpless. Years ago there was the threat of corporal punishment, if not the actual fear of parent retaliation. Now, however, children are spoiled, often without strong male-role models (particularly in the more urban areas), there is simply no respect for authority or desire to contribute meaningfully to society, all parents think their child is a perfect little snowflake, and the outlook for a teacher in a troubled area is particularly bleak and hopeless. Trevor Garfield (Samuel L. Jackson) is a high school teacher who has recently been reassigned as a substitute in a rough, dilapidated LA school district after suffering a shank attack at the hands of one of his former students. Realizing the corrupt, bereaucratic school administration ... Read More

This movie showed me that within a blink of an eye, our lives can change and the people we least expect, can turn out to be the kindest and most loyal.

8.Adrift in Manhattan starring: Heather Graham, Victor Rasuk, Dominic Chianese, William Baldwin, Elizabeth Peña directed by: Alfredo De Villa January 22, 2008

This film directed by Alfredo De Villa is an intense emotional journey told through the lives of three main characters whose lives intertwine. I found this film very real, emotionally stimulating and totally thought provoking. From the beginning I was caught up and the experience was a honest, heart wrenching experience. All the acting here is superb. Heather Graham leads the cast in an amazing performance as a very mysterious eye doctor. Add in Victor Rasuk in a career making performance as a 20 year old photographer who becomes obsessed with her and Dominic Chianese as one of her patients who is also excellent. All the characters here are shown very realistically and their lives are troubled and multi layered. The script as well as the directing desrve high credit here. We become involved ... Read More

When i took a chance on renting this from blockbuster, the checkout lady said most people who rented it thought it was better than expected. I'm not so sure I'd be that kind. I could be critical with the eye doctor's exam not making sense (my background) or how she (Heather Grahm) breaks some news to her patient about a bad eye condition ...but sticking to the story I'd say it's just kind of slow. A little wierd also in the sense that this eye doctor is being stalked by a very quiet man in his early 20s and she is eventually ok with it. I won't spoil what happens with the stalker but the result is kind of weird. The other story in this movie has to do with the patient (actor who plays junior soprano) loosing his vision, pretty straight forward, ...yawn. Oh yea, he's a painter, can someone say cliche? I guess a third ... Read More
