I was once a mad Wachowski fan, but never went to see last years' Speed Racer. Now, thanks to a few months of free movie channels, here it is! It's perfect for me tonight: exhausted enough to delight in hanging on the futon with the pets.

It's a remarkable mix of live action, cartoon and anime with a pretty incredible cast, including plenty of Brits. I had to laugh at Matthew Fox playing Keanu Reeves, *g*

I  admire it's pure Wachowski over-the-top-ness, even if it is a bit too much 'Hot Wheels' for my tastes. Zoom! Zoom!

  Thanks for reminding me about this movie! My sister has been nagging me to update my son's Amazon wish list and I wasn't sure what to add. I think this is something he'd like.

  It was okay, and it did okay at the box office sadly it wasn't the huge hit the studio wanted it to be. However, I'll watch it over again to see Christina Ricci who is like my favorite actress ever.
  
  Again I'll say it again I am sorry with the late package that will be headed out next month. Money has been really tight bnut I promise you, I will get it to you.
