Jul 6, 2010 9:39PM MJ5K	Speaking of bad cops, I just saw Crash the other day and I thought it was phenomenal. I may have to review it.
Jul 5, 2010 7:49PM Wick	Yeah, if you like movies about cops gone bad, this one pegs the meter.
Jul 5, 2010 7:02PM MJ5K	Regarding Wick’s Review Hm, I actually saw a bit of Training Day on HBO the other day and thought “This looks interesting”. But now that I’ve read your review, Wick, I really wanna see it.
