GO, SPEED RACER, GO!
Ok, I'll admit I was a skeptic. How the hell were they going to take an old school, super cheesy cartoon and make it look cool. Well, for starters, get the Wachowskis to direct it...problem solved!
It's actually a bit of a travesty to watch this on the crappy YouTube clip I provided below. To get the full effect you probably need to see it onscreen or at least in HD (which you can find on AOL.com). The visuals are simply stunning and I really dug Emile Hirsch as Speed, even though I didn't care for him much before. It borders on camp, but I'm a pretty big fan of camp.
I thought that this summer would be dead in terms of movies but really it's turning out to be the best summer ever! With HP6 planned for next fall, 2008 rules! I'm ready to set up tent in the theater.
Note: No one can rock the wannabe Tootie hairstyle, but Christina Ricci gives it a valiant effort.
