i saw Crash on Friday and Unleashed on Saturday. Crash was like a race-only version of a Robert Altman film (specifically Short Cuts). Interesting cast, earnest attempt at racial melodrama, ultimately disappointing.
Yesterday we went to see Unleashed. Once again I was struck by how Western directors cannot shoot a good hand-to-hand combat scene to save their lives. Long shots! Not just fast paced medium shots with a long shot here or there. But the rest was interesting. Nurture or nature? Operant conditioning. Jet Li, Morgan Fairchild and Bob Hoskins were all good. Set in Glasgow. I still think Luc Besson is kind of overrated but I enjoyed the movie.
Tivo grabbed some weird shows off of AZN, the Asian American network. One is a smash up thing called King Faux--hip hop and kung fu footage together in a pop up video format.
