The Cell & Speed Racer

The Cell looks interesting, but JLo and Vince Vaughn are terrible actors. And so it's basically a somewhat interesting film, but anytime that they're not in someone's mind, it's a terrible at best manhunt film. And man, terrible is an accurate description of the film.

Speed Racer is all bright and shiny colors. It's basically a live action cartoon. Which it does very, very well. It's too bad that the film itself is not all that good. But it looks very pretty. And the cast is surprisingly good, although I wonder just how many of these people had actually seen the second or third Matrix films. Because after the second one, there was no way that they were actually anything other than visually interesting people who are incapable of putting anything on film that means much of anything.
