| Speed Racer - PG |
Families are what the makers of Speed Racer meant to steer toward. Producer Joel Silver said of the film, "We're thrilled to have the chance to introduce Speed Racer to a new generation and very proud to make a family film that audiences of all ages can enjoy." Matthew Fox, who plays Racer X, added, "One of the first things [the Wachowskis] said to me about their goal with this project was that they wanted to make a movie their nieces and nephews could really enjoy."
Have they succeeded? In some significant ways, yes. Much of the racing action delivers smile-inducing thrills while remaining in cotton candy territory. And the Racers love for one another is refreshingly old-fashioned in an age when families (especially fathers) are often treated with cynicism and sarcasm. The film's anti-commercialism message is also well-placed. So why assail nieces and nephews around the globe with a dozen or so profanities?especially with an abuse of Jesus' name? A severe face-bloodying beating isn't really family fare, is it? Or a digit-relieving piranha scene? How 'bout Spritle's obscene gesture and images of sensual racer girls? Does anybody remember all that stuff being in the TV show? The Wachowskis, then, are to be commended for what they got right. But before you get all the way to the last lap on this one, it's worth remembering that you can take the Wachowskis out of The Matrix, but you can't completely take The Matrix out of the Wachowskis. |

| Shooter - R | This movie had a lot of shooting in it. Obviously. It was definately a good action movie! It might be a little violent for some, with all the heads exploding and such. There's also a good deal of language in it. It definately earned it's R rating, and isn't for a movie for children. However, if you're desensitized to violence and language (shame on you) then it's a great action packed thriller! The political undertones and references were annoying, but they can be ignored. | May 9, 2008 | N/A | |||
