I have to say this looks interesting, I am surprised how many fairly well known people are in this film though.

oh my god, it's in quotes

yeah. I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to seeing it, but I am going to see it. I love Paul Haggis, it has a very solid(very depressing) trailer, a great cast. From the trailer, it looks like it was sht in DV, I'll have to look that up...

[Matt]

Yeah, I like Paul Haggis' work too. I haven't seen "Million Dollar Baby" yet, but I thought he did a good job on "Due South".

oh my god, it's in quotes

point being?

I saw this movie on Sunday. It was great. I had seen the trailer and didn't really know what to expect but I loved it. I don't think it will do well at the box office, but it deserves to.

[battlecry forever!]

this movie looks really interesting but i'll probably wait til it comes out on video to see it.

[sockcrotch]

i always say that i'll see whatever movie looks good but then a few months later there'll be about a dozen movies i want to rent and very little money to rent them with...

one word: Netflix

[S.E. Hardy]

I just got back from seeing it. It hasn't completely sunk in yet, but it was fantastic. All of the actors were very good, which really surprised me. Haggis' writing was great, as always. And he did a good job directing too.

[Tim]

In a word: stunning. That was an excellent movie, very thought provoking. Paul Haggis' best work yet in my opinion. The acting was also top notch, and the cinematography was beautiful. Go see it...right now.

[shadowkitten]

Wow... I'd never even heard of that movie until I saw this thread, looks very intense, just the trailer like wowed me... I think I'm going to have to go see it now

[savepenguins]

I saw the trailer on tv a while ago and now I just have to find time to go out and see it.

That guy from Lost is in it, it looks like.

[supercanuk]

Wow im glad to hear such positive reviews cause i wanted to see it but a little wary on Ludicris's acting, i didnt know if he could lol. but sounds like an interesting movie and i will most definatly see.

[S.E. Hardy]

Actually, I was amazed at how good Ludicris was. It's not a really demanding part, but I thought he was good.

[Matt]

I finally saw this movie, and I think it was awesome...

[mg_forlife]

I looved this movie. It's so true.

 

I felt kind of bad when I laughed when Ludacris said he ran over the China-man, though. ;)

[HoboFactory]

I have the DVD, but haven't had the time to watch it.

[Matt]

I watched the movie again, and I think it's just as good on the second watch... I am quite impressed by this one actually, I think for the most part the story was pretty well developed and even though it probably could have been full of loose connections, I think the way everyone was connected in one form or another kind have worked...

[X-Rated Truffle Pig]

shit i gotta get this one. looks pretty good. and a lot of well knowns in it.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

i'm seeing it tonight.

"CRASH" COMING TO TV?

June 28, 2005 - Paul Haggis' film Crash may be heading to a television near you. The FX network and Lions Gate Television are reportedly developing a weekly series based on the movie. Paul will be the executive producer on the project. Don Cheadle is currently expected to appear in the new series and direct several episodes. Other actors from the movie (Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser, and Ludacris) are reportedly in talks to reprise their roles as well. Bobby Moresco, who co-wrote the script for "Crash" with Paul, is in negotiations to write the script for the pilot episode.

 

The film has grossed about $50 million dollars in the United States and is scheduled to be released on video and DVD on September 6th.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

wow.

i was not expecting this movie to be as great as it was.

 

i definately recommend it.

I enjoyed the movie on a superficial level...but when you get down to it, the premise is absolutely ridiculous. Why are the racial stereotypes so vibrant and the contrasts so loudly obvious. This movie could have been so much more, but the pure abundance of characters means we only skim the surface of the potential story and character development. It seems like very manipulative at best...to make us feel good...that in the end, despite what we were set up to believe, good prevails.
