Speed Racer
The summer blockbusters are starting to roll in on DVD. Coming out on September 16th is Speed Racer. This visually stunning film based on the popular Japanese cartoon was done by the Wachowski brothers, the same minds behind the Matrix Trilogy. If you haven't had the chance to see this film during the summer, I highly recommend checking it out. The special effects have the Wachowskis' fingerprints all over it, so expect lots of "Whoa!" moments throughout the film. Another thing that's unique about the film is the COLORS. The colorful world that was created for this film is amazing in all of its psychadelic fashion. It really added to all of the explosive action during each race of the film. Watching a film like this on DVD can't replace the feeling of being in a theater. However it still is a great experience to watch it on DVD. One of the benefits of owning it is obviously the special features that are included. I particularly enjoyed checking out the feature on the DVD titled "Spritle In The Big Leagues!" This special feature followed Paulie Litt (Spritle) as he gave a tour of the work being done on the set to create the movie. By now, the critics have said their opinion of this film. Regardless of what they say, this film is one helluva ride. It's a fast and wild ride of a film that brings to life this classic cartoon like never before.
