the sense of touch

remember how i said that Crash was probably over-hyped and not as great as everyone critically acclaims? or something to that tone.

well, i take it back. 'cos i just went to see it yesterday, and it's made my Best Movies I've Seen This Year list, right along with Sin City, and not much else. that i can remember, anyway. my memory's been failing me this past few days.

i won't say that it's fresh, because it isn't, or that it's an eye-opener, because it isn't, or even that it's honest, because i think that it may be slightly exaggerated sometimes? or maybe i'm just a naïve idealist.

but i did think that Sandra Bullock should spend more of her time on films of this quality rather than that disaster that was Miss Congeniality 2, the memory of which still makes me squirm. and it was really good seeing Ryan Phillippe on the screen again, he has such a perfect angel-face. although he ends up doing something un-angellic towards the end.

anyway i suck at movie-reviewing, so i guess all i'll say is "go see it".
