"21 Grams" is one of those films that really gets under the skin and won't let go. The performances are so compelling that it is hard to forget about this film, and the subject matter also has a big factor in this. This is a heavy film, and it deals with a lot of heavy subjects. There are 3 things that make this an unforgettable film. 1) The direction. It's grainy, dirty, and tough. But this all adds to the overall feeling of the film. 2) The performances. Naomi Watts gives one of the best performances by an actress I've ever seen. Here she really allows herself to let go, to strip herself bare and show her raw emotions. I truly felt that what she was going through in the film was something she had experienced. Penn and Del Toro are also great, but again, this film really showcases Watts as being a really talented and convincing actor. 3) The script is amazing. The actors talk like real people talk. There is none of that Hollywood script writing here, there are very little happy moments, just as real life can be.

Overall, see this film. You will leave the theatre in tears, and you won't be able to stop thinking about it for days. 9/10

I've been waiting to see "Spun" for about a year now and I finally got to see it last night and I was not disappointed at all. Other people's comments on here say that the characters are not developed enough, but this film is not about the characters, it's about drugs. The cast is perfect, direction is amazing, soundtrack is great. Everything about this film was perfect, it really allows the audience into the world of meth addicts and allows the audience to feel what it is like to be on meth. All in all, this is the ultimate drug movie, next to Requiem For A Dream.

I must say that I've been interested in seeing "Crash" for many years, but everytime I went to rent a movie, I just didn't get it. Finally, I rented it and I'm still not sure if I liked it or not. "Crash" is interesting in the sense that is quite daring, somewhat shocking and disturbing. I thought the idea was great; people who find car crashes sexually arousing and stimulating. Maybe I missed something, but I never understood WHY these people found it so erotic. Cronenberg is one of the greatest directors around today, and I'm very happy to say he is one of my fellow Canadians. The direction of this film was fantastic, the acting was okay, but again it was the story that drew me in. All in all, a pretty good film. Not great, but not horrible ***/out of 5
