| "American History X" is one of the most powerful, most involving movies I have
seen in a while. The whole movie is simply amazing, shooting off the center
minor times but quickly picking up where it left off. I think Edward Norton's
performance in this...more |

| "Whewwww." An exclamation you'll likely hear exiting a showing of Tony
Kaye's American History X. The film is a pressure cooker of kerosene set on
simmer. Most of us tend to avoid tension in our daily lives, so if you've

| Racism and hatred are bad, we all know. Still, it can't be as
easy as all that, because hatred and racism exist and even
flourish. American History X is as good a take on the source of
bigotry as you are likely to see. more |
