Of these, I've seen Crash and Good Night, and Good Luck.
Crash was well-made, and the agenda was more subtle than usual, but it still had the obligatory cast of characters: oppressed, angry housewife, the misunderstood gang member, and the white racist cop who learns the error of his ways.
Good Night, and Good Luck was just plain boring. We had a group who went to see it, and one of the guys summed up the movie this way: "I watched the whole thing, but some of it was filtered through my eyelids." Exactly.
But Hollywood rewards those who toe the party line. When the time comes for the Oscars to be awarded, it won't much matter. The wrong movie will win, because the truly good movies weren't nominated.
Academy Awards: Big whoop.
