movie review

It's unlike me to review movies, because I generally don't like them. The last two new / semi-new movies that I liked were:

40-Year-Old Virgin. If you're easily offended, don't see it. I would say that many adults would like it ... the profanity is strong in this one. A funny, quasi-unconventional section of this movie is, "Do you know why you're gay" bantering between the two friends.

Crash (2005) was an okay movie. Its intent is to address racism and wrongdoings because of those prejudices, each character being changed from circumstances and therein the racism comes out. A neat part of this movie is that there is no one leading character. I don't rate it high for most people's standards, but rate it fair 5 or 5.2 on a 10 point scale. That sounds low, but it's not so much. Unlike many videophiles I don't have a list of 2000 top 10 movies. I have very few ... less than 100, perhaps less than 50. The thought being twofold; how can you have two or more greatest movies; if all movies are nines or tens, are there middle ones?

The reason that a 5 sounds low is because that's only 50%. That's an F if we apply it to academia. How about on a letter grade scale? Would you give it a C? B-?

Any words about "Fight Club" now that you've seen it enough times to absorb it?
