Crash  
Crash starts with an automobile accident and backtracks to tell its story using a cast of many pairs or characters from many different backgrounds.  The amount of prejudice and stereotyping that is committed throughout the film is heavy, but the all-star cast keeps it real and true.  A stunning example of why we should all live by the golden rule...B






House of Wax  
House of Wax is you basic teen slasher movie with mediocre acting and a barely entertaining script.  There are some decent scares and a little gore that will help pass the time, but the real value is getting to watch Paris Hilton die...C-








Monster In Law  
Jane Fonda makes a successful return to the silver screen, but it probably would have been better if she came back without Jennifer Lopez next to her and not in a lukewarm wedding comedy.  Michael Vartan gets left in the middle and Wanda Sykes proves she's ready for her close-up.  The movie
sadly leans more towards director Robert Luketic's "Win A Date With Tad Hamilton" then it does towards "Legally Blonde"...B-





Palindromes  
All you have to do is hear that this movie is about a 13 year old girl who goes on a journey to get pregnant so that she will always have someone to love and you are going to be curious.  Throw in the fact that the 13 year old girl is played by 8 different actresses of varying ages, sizes, and colors and you'll probably be really curious.  Unfortunately, the results are just "interesting".  If you plan on seeing this make sure to rent "Welcome To The Dollhouse" first to test the waters and get introduced to a few minor characters...C-




It's All Gone Pete Tong  
You probably haven't heard of this movie, it's main character or it's lead actor, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't check it out.  It's an interesting mix of real interviews and a reenactment of the story of DJ Frankie Wilde who has to learn to cope in the music world as he goes deaf.  But don't worry about it being too serious; throughout the film he is visited by a life-sized badger in a tutu with a magic wand that forces him to use drugs....B





Lipstick & Dynamite, Piss & Vinegar: The First Ladies of Wrestling  
The women wrestlers of today have nothing on the leading ladies of the 1950's that pioneered the sport.  This documentary takes a look at the major players back in their heyday via archival footage as well as recent interviews.  You'll be amazed at what they went through and most likely want to bring these gritty grandmas home with you too....B+
