First of all, I’ll get this out of the way. Fuck every single one of those critics who bashed “Speed Racer” which was almost every single one. I don’t recommend the movie for everyone to see but if you were a fan of the cartoon, then I think you should be pleased. Plot-more than the show at times. The special effects may be candy-coated over the top eye-popping but so was the cartoon (for the time it came out). It’s supposed to look like a cartoon world, that’s what they were trying to achieve. All of the actors did very well, except Susan Saran-wrap. But I think the worst part was the re-vamped theme song, so it gets my vote of approval. Now onto the rest of the summer….

MAY 2ND
Iron Man - Saw this opening night, and will probably see it again. It’s a very comic accurate movie with great actors throughout the whole movie, and stay till the very end (you know post credits) cos you get an extra scene with a surprise guest. If only he had the line, “Tony, help me get these motherfucking snakes off my motherfucking heli-carrier.”

Made Of Honor - This is one of those reasons the movie business is going down the drain. The same old sentimental drip they have to spoon feed you. (more…)
