Corny but cute

It’s not easy to resist Charlie’s Angels. The Angels are strong, tough, fit, sexy, wear great clothes and are still feminine enough to draw in the gentlemen.

Crash leads to battle of wills
Changing Lanes
Stars Ben Affleck, Samuel L Jackson and Toni Collette. Rated M. From RedBack DVD.
Reviewer: By Pte Simone Heyer

Changing Lanes is about black against white, rich against poor and, ultimately, right against wrong.

Doyle (Jackson) is addicted to chaos. He is one of those people who, if they’re not in a crisis, they create one.

He’s a reformed alcoholic and his former wife blames the drink on Doyle’s inability to be the right kind of father to their two sons. He sells insurance and drives a beat-up old car.

On his way to the divorce courts Doyle’s car is struck by Gavin (Affleck), in his latest-model Mercedes. Gavin, too, is on the way to the courts, only he is a lawyer, defending his firm in a decision made against a non-profit community aid program.
