So I've watched 2 movies this week that everyone should really REALLY watch.

1st: "Crash". I'm not sure when this is coming out, but it'll be soon if it's not out already. It follows a bunch of people through a 36 hour period in Los Angeles and deals with race. All sorts of passive racism and stereotypes until everything comes full circle in the end. It also marks suprisingly good performances from Ludicris, Brendon Frasier, Sandra Bullock, Ryan Phillipe, Matt Dillon, and Don Cheadle (possibly the most underrated actor working today).

2nd: "Gunner Palace". It follows a group of Army men and women through their daily lives 4 months after Bush declared "mission accomplished" while they're holed up in a weekend palace of Udey Hussein that was bombed to hell. It's no Michael Moore slanted documentary...it's just soldiers living their normal lives in Iraq. There's a lot of comic relief and a lot of downers when it's reported that some of the gunners were killed during their duties. It's honest, it's human, and it's real. Probably one of the best war documentaries to come out in a long time.

Now go watch...and worship.
