A night at the movies

Caught "Crash" and "Batman Begins" last night and my faith in Hollywood movies feels a little better as a result. Smart indy filmmaking with the first one (you know something bizarre is afoot when even Tony Danza's brief appearance wows ya) and amazing big budget with the latter.

In both cases, beyond incredible ensemble acting (and somehow even Sandra Bullock fit into the equation), even if I was waiting for Michael Caine to trick Katie Holmes out of what little money her character had. All those performances from Caine (what an understatement), and I'm eternally stuck on the "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" one.

Highly recommended and not just saying that because I'm back in the Warner Bros. fold in a couple days.
