best adaption of an anime ever? Probably
As far cgi goes atleast I knew what I was walking into and there were no misleading trailers to tell me otherwise(Beowulf). The race segments were a blast to watch. The weapons some of them had. A ... read more
Everything that art shouldn't be
A movie of modest ambitions
5/5 for fantastic visuals (including Christina Ricci) and 0/5 for the rest. A little bit... read more

2024 Film Diary
Movies Viewed in 2024 (264 movies items)" First Viewing Viewing Date: May 12th Via: Stan. Plot: Young driver, Speed Racer, aspires to be champion of the racing world with the help of his family and his high-tech Mach 5 automobile. Rating: 7.2/10 Why Did I Watch It? I was interested in this when it first came out because it was made by the Wachowskis, but the lukewarm reviews turned me off. Then it started developing a cult following, which piqued my interest. And after seeing recent posts about the anniversary of the film's release"
Visually Breath Taking Films
Movies That I Changed My Mind About (51 movies items)"Another movie, people didn’t care for. Myself included. It was too hyper kinetic, over the top, and crazy. But now I realize.... So was the original TV series. This could be dare I say it.... One of the best live action adaptation of animated series, possibly ever. I am very sorry, that it took me this long to figure that out."

2020 Movie Watch List
Hated or Divisive Movies That I LOVED (47 movies items)"Often Hated For: The Wachowskis could do no right after The Matrix and the public raged at them "wasting" their potential on fluff like Speed Racer. Reason I Loved It: Its fierce loyalty to the material, coupled with bonkers effects, and a legit feeling of family friendly fun. Just a wholesome fun time."
Films I've seen on celluloid in the digital era (423 movies items)"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★★ NOTES: Presented by the Celluloid Sorceress, who added a 35mm print of the trailer for another underlooked, absurd cult classic, Howard the Duck. But this wasn’t Howard the Duck. Not anymore. While the sound could have been sharper (although this might just be the screen), this print did not at all do a disservice to the colourful aesthetic, only the last ten seconds of the credits. It only goofed up a few times, and at the right moments. DATE: Novembe"
Movies That I Saw in Theaters(2001-present) (365 movies items)"May 14th, 2008(at the Marquee Cinemas in Steamtown, on a 4th grade field trip)"
My trips to the cinema 2018 (200 movies items)"SCREENING: 35mm DATE: November 12th CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End NOTE: You either die a critic of the Wachowski fanbase, or you live long enough to see yourself become part of it. I used to nitpick this movie to death for its hyperactive visuals, its story and Spritle, but I went to this screening because I also felt that I have been misjudging it. I was left so excited that from a combination of the final race and possibly all the mucus I was trying to blow out my brain"
