Crash (Film)
Paul Haggis won two Oscars for his major feature debut as director and co-writer. Set in Los Angeles over two days, it is a picaresque, episodic film with a cast of disparate characters whose lives coincide for one reason or another, from racist cop John Ryan who pulls over black TV director Cameron Thayer and his wife Christine, to the simple hassles that Iranian Farad encounters. Haggis shows a city where racism and its manifestations are easily encountered but where those at both the giving and receiving end are not simple ciphers but complex human beings whose intolerance is caused by both their personal and society's problems.
Director: Paul Haggis
Starring: Matt Dillon, Ryan Phillippe, Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Jennifer Esposito, Brendan Fraser
(Editor's Choice, Widescreen, Subtitles, Audio Described, 2004, 15, 4 Star)

The 51st State (Film)
Samuel L Jackson plays Elmo McElroy, a pharmaceutical genius who has used his knowledge to make a fortune in illegal drugs, particularly with Formula 51, which is more potent than heroin, crack or anything else.

Durant is prepared to offer $20m for the formula: money Elmo would love to spend, if he can stay alive long enough in Ronny Yu's fast-moving crime thriller.
