Crash - 4.5 stars

Jim & I just watched Crash, written and directed by Paul Haggis. I was really excited about this because Haggis was one of my Environment California donors. He's a great guy and was working on this project when I knew him and was working in L.A.

This is a beautifully written and acted film about Angelenos confronting their own racism. There are a wide range of characters from all walks of life who randomly come in contact with each other under various circumstances. The tension runs high and parts are hard to watch, but it's well worth the watch.

Another bonus is the amazing ensemble cast - Sandra Bullock (who I usually HATE) was perfectly cast, Don Cheadle is always good, Tony Danza makes a small cameo, Matt Dillon gives a stunning performance, plus newcomer Ludacris all star in the film.
