DVD Description

A stellar cast collides haphazardly in this insightfully written tale of racism, rage, and redemption which takes place over the course of one day in Los Angeles and involves a circus of cops, robbers, and civilians. A detective (Don Cheadle) with a heroin addict mother and criminal brother investigates the shooting of a black cop by a white cop. Two hoodlums (Larenz Tate and Ludacris) jack the car of the District Attorney (Brendon Fraser) and his angry, racist wife (Sandra Bullock). Terrence Howard and Thandie Newton play an upper-class African American couple harassed by a racist cop (Matt Dillon). The chaos continues, with other roles played by Tony Danza, Michael Pena, and Jennifer Esposito. A propulsive Mark Isham score keeps the disparate narrative threads electrified from the get-go; when they finally connect, the results are explosive and beautiful. Everything is tied together with tight editing and artistic shots of car headlights cutting through dense morning smog. Writer-director Paul Haggis' (writer of MILLION DOLLAR BABY) Los Angeles is a world of alienated people struggling to connect across vast barriers of language, class, and culture; that they manage to do so is testament to their depth as characters more than some trite message of brotherly love. There are no easy answers, but this film is tough, intelligent, and gutsy enough to find some anyway. This version of CRASH features an extended director’s cut main feature.

Review of Tears Of The Sun / Black Hawk Down (Box Set) (Wide Screen) by donherd

Advantages: to of the best actors bruce wills and ewan mcgregor
Disadvantages: you must love action packed movies

...n the film "Blackhawk Down", director Ridley Scott has combined with action producer Jerry Bruckheimer to bring the true story of the battle of Mogadishu that took place on October 3rd 1993. The film is based on the book by Mark Bowden and tells the story of the elite soldiers that were sent on a mission to capture top officials of Aidiad as they met for a meeting. What started as a textbook mission soon became a nightmare when two Blackhawk helicopters were shot down, and the soldiers found themselves separated and cut off as they attempted to rescue crash survivors and accomplish their mission TEARS OF THE SUN Tears Of The Sun Based On : Premise/Synopsis :search-and-rescue mission for a doctor.

There's Good And Bad In Everyone
Review of Crash DVD by lilmsnaughty1979

Advantages: Emotional and Interesting Story, Great Acting
Disadvantages: Quite Long, Limited Longevity, A Little Contrived

...its way back to the car accident and all the ends are tied up. Special Features There is a commentary with director Paul Higgins, Don Cheadley and Bobby Moresco, it's quite interesting and informative, but like most commentaries I just end up turning them off to watch the film properly. However, this is the best special feature on the disc. There is a short making of that delves a little bit behind the scenes. It contains some words from cast and crew and a look at some scenes. It could have been a bit longer, it lasts about ten minutes. There is also a music video that's pretty pointless really. On the whole the special features are nothing to get excited about. Summary I wasn't sure what to expect with Crash. It has won the Best Picture Oscar but that is no guarantee of a quality film. I was pleasantly surprised... Read review

The Perils of Free Cinema Tickets?
Review of Demons (Dubbed) (The Director's Cut) by Sareini

Advantages: Fast-paced and fun
Disadvantages: Might be too gory for some; plot holes abound

...to decapitate several zombies, the hero and heroine are given a way to escape by... the timely crashing of a helicopter through the cinema's roof. It's easy to ignore moments like that, however, because the action in the film is just so fast-paced and the blood so free-flowing. It's another mildly incomprehensible hit from the Italians. The DVD doesn't have too much in the way of special features, however. It's the Director's Cut, which adds extra scenes of bloodshed, but other than that the only other additional features are the theatrical trailer and a 'Behind the Scenes' segment, as well as an audio commentary from director Bava....
