Crash came out in 2004 and, after a ridiculous Oscar marketing campaign, walked away with the statue for Best Picture in early 2005.

For the last seven years, I have used this blog to praise and complain about movies. Sometimes I will watch a movie and sit there the entire time wondering how on Earth a production company thought this particular story was a good idea and got behind its release.
