Speed Racer (PG) *
Posted on Tue, 03.17.2009 @ 10:59One star? Really? I have no idea what the writer was expecting but this was a hit for me. It ended up being much better than I expected.Yes, it's a kid's movie with a kid's story about a kid's show. But face it; the folks that watched or knew about Speed Racer back in the day are also going to love it. The characters are fun and true to form. John Goodman, especially, really captures some of Pops’ mannerisms and expressions. The graphics are sublime, absolutely insanely amazing. They did not skimp on visuals. The acting is solid even if it isn't a story telling masterpiece of dramatic fiction. Speed Racer will never join the elite ranks of those weird, but admittedly often interesting, indie flicks on IFC. This is simple good fun about an anime racecar driver, his family and his super cool car. But if the peek into young Speed loving and losing his brother doesn’t tug a heartstring or two, then I feel a little sad for you.As for the feeling of feeling of being stuck in a pinball machine. Wow! I'd say it was worth every penny of my excessively priced ticket. There's no Cloverfield motion sickness, comfy padded seats, but you still get a ton of roller coaster race thrill rides. Do the Wachowski's toss out anything resembling the laws of physics? Absolutely. What kind of Mach 5 would it be if it couldn't drive up the side of a tunnel or fly through jumps while fighting it out with the other drivers’ cars? What if it was powered by some kind of stock car engine? Hey, this isn't Days of Thunder.As for the colors and visual excess? Mission accomplished. It is over the top gorgeous. There is so much to see in these bright and colorful scenes that everyone has different things to talk about after. Personally, I can’t wait for the Blu-ray. Fun fun fun!...

Posted on Thu, 05.15.2008 @ 15:03Mint Leaf was really wonderful. The staff was very polite and the food was amazing. It was definitely on par with the excellent Indian you can find in Washington DC or elsewhere in the country. Just because it's so hard to find decent Indian in Miami doesn't mean it's impossible. The menu is fairly extensive with quite a few vegetarian, meat and seafood offerings. And they do not shy from the heat, either! So when they say it's spicy, they mean it. Of course, there are a wide variety of dishes, spicy or not, all set to a backdrop of intense Indian music videos on the 2 flatscreens. And, let's face it, the over the top videos blending Michael Jackson's moves with Sean Paul's sets, Janet Jackson's body, and a million or so backup dancers are super fun. But, back to the food, it was wonderful. Remember though, the dinner menu is a la carte so don't forget your naan and basmati rice. And bring some other folks along since sharing is the whole point. And when you're done go for a walk around the Miracle Mile area and work off some calories. The prices seemed a tiny bit on the high side but I'll be coming back for sure.... Read more
