One of the worst films I've seen in a long time...

Rating: 1/10 (6 March 2006)

This film's script, in short, sounded like a high-school senior's writing debut in which they desperately wanted to be provocative, to make their first piece about something that matters, something real. Well, if it HAD been a high-school senior's screenplay, I could have written off how horrendously over-the-top the screenplay is with its sledgehammer style of preaching one long two-hour sermon. Instead, the script came out of the mouths of people long in the industry. What an embarrassment! From opening scene to last credit, this is by far one of the worst films I have seen in a long time, and such a SHAME that it was even MENTIONED at the Academy Awards (which, after last night, was the last straw for me... the AA's are absolutely bogus and driven more by what will bring people to the box office... and perhaps what will get people to buy DVD's). As an aside, the mere fact that the president of the Academy made several attempts (both himself and through others) at encouraging movie fans to GO TO THE THEATRES (translation: "The box office had a bad year, so stop using Netflix and go out, pay $10, and see the movie on a big screen in a theatre!)... AND the "Brokeback Mountain" snub just goes to show that not only is money (no surprise here!) important above all, but if "Brokeback" HAD won over "Crash", there would have been perchance another bad year at the box office as people incapable of embracing a film such as BM would have, maybe, boycotted Hollywood. God forbid they take a chance! So go with the sledgehammer of a sermon movie. Seriously, I could have accepted ANYTHING winning over this piece of motion picture filth. Pathetic film. Save your time. Replace it with something else in your Netflix queue! Rent something else at Blockbuster! Life is short! Don't waste 2 hours on crap!
