What did I learn from the movie “Crash?” A lot. One lesson I learned is not to judge a book by its cover. For example‚ in the movie‚ Sandra Bullock’s character was afraid of and distrustful of her Latino locksmith because he was bald and had tattoos. She assumed he was in a gang and would sell copies of her keys to his gang friends so they could come back and rob her. In reality‚ the locksmith was a peaceful‚ loving‚ kind‚ and gentle father and husband. I probably would be a little afraid of

Jeepers Creepers 2 looks to up the budget and put the Creeper on screen more‚ but a dash of terrible CGI and a story that doesn’t go all out hurts the film.

That’s the quick and dirty opinion for the Blu‚ but if you want to know more‚
