This Week's New Movies

be sure to update your profile if you want to see any of these!

Speed Racer Speed Racer
I was graced with screener passes to this film. If you have children they will love it. I never watched the cartoon as a child so I dont know if they did a good adaptation or not but its an all around fun movie. Based on the classic 1960s series created by anime pioneer Tatsuo Yoshida that later was retooled for North American audiences, the big-screen film will follow the adventures of the young race car driver Speed in his quest for glory in his thundering gadget-laden vehicle, Mach 5. The movie will feature other characters from the show, including Speed's family and his mysterious archrival, Racer X.

What Happens in Vegas
Set in Sin City, storyline revolves around two strangers who wake up to discover they got married sometime during the previous night's drunken festivities, with one of them winning a huge jackpot on the other's quarter. The couple set out to undermine each other and claim the coin, only to fall in love along the way. Rated PG-13 for some sexual and crude content, and language,including a drug reference.
