Dodgeball, Super Size Me, Crash

Dodgeball wasn’t so good. It had its share of laughs, but nothing so funny that it made you want to see it again.

The very informative Super Size Me looked really good for a documentary. I expected grainy footage and lots of interview footage, but what I got instead were fun little animations, beautifully drawn transition titles and movie that didn’t feel like a small budget documentary at all (I’m assuming this was small budget).

The message itself is very clear, and for a few days afterwards I kept feeling like I was gonna die from all the fast food I regularly eat.

Went out and saw Crash after the many recommendations, and they were well deserved. This was a great movie on race relations, which is hard to pull off in itself without becoming overly stereotypical or preachy. I felt myself being drawn in throughout, never got bored and really feared for the fate of all the characters. Very highly recommended.
