Crash - The Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)
$14.98
Q: What could be more painfully dull than sitting through this movie? A:Sitting through it TWICE--the second time as part of a class on multiculturalism.

A trait shared by all substandard-to-mediocre movies is predictability, and this movie is about 95% predictable. That's a lazy way to make a film, as well as an insult to the audience's intelligence.

After the first few scenes, you know exactly how the movie will evolve. There are no surprises. The characters are wooden and one-dimensional. Good actors were wasted in this movie, which is preachy and moralistic while having nothing important to say.

Amazingly, this has become a must-see in classes having to do with "issues" such as racism. I suppose there are people out there who found the movie thought-provoking and interesting, but these are individuals who feel more comfortable being told what to think rather than use critical-thinking skills to interpret more nuanced works.

If you really feel compelled to rent this movie, feel free to turn it off after the first five minutes: you'll be able to guess the rest.

Crash: Mind Over Mutant
$19.99
I am in my late 50's and new to Wii, actually video games in general.
I found that Mind over Mutant is just about right for me. It is neither too easy nor too hard, and I cannot wait to get to each level to see what is going on next. So while this game may not be for everyone, it is a good match for me.
