My father kept a “Family Book” on me, ever since I was born – and in the first 3 years of my life… apparently my favorite thing in the world was SPEED RACER. I have zero recollection of this – but it’s been in that book as long as I have memory – but honestly, I haven’t really gone back to that series since the age of three. I’ve tried, but the animation was just too crude for my tastes – but I do love it’s addiction to speed, badass technology and stylized vehicular and physical violence. Oh… and the monkey.

Hey folks, Harry here... As I was watching CNN HD last night - as Lou Dobbs went to commercial - suddenly a green MPAA trailer screen filled as a voice said, "And now an exclusive look at the new STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS trailer" -- And I watched this trailer and felt glee... You know - the modern Star Wars trilogy - which I did enjoy... but I was always conflicted by the CG... it felt like it wanted to be a cartoon. It seemed that George, honestly, was wanting to have absolute visual control... and that really does work best in the animated format.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. If you own or have been in the immediate vicinity of an XBOX 360 in the last year you've probably played BIOSHOCK. If you haven't, BIOSHOCK was one of the coolest releases on any platform last year.
The game opens with an ocean plane crash. You control the one survivor as he's adrift. As the wreckage of his plane sinks he sees a small, rocky island... weirdly, there's an art deco style building.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I love that above image, created by Gabe Koerner, who you may remember as being one of the central figures of the Star Trek fan doc TREKKIES. It's a beautiful image, something that would be impressive to see on the big screen.

Unlike the earlier unofficial version, the official trailer doesn’t employ Foo Fighters, but it does feature more footage!
I’m not entirely certain, but I think the mutants are driving a Klingon bird of prey now!
It hits Nicktoons early next year. Watch the trailer here.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I'm not shy about my adoration of the Fleischer-esque SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW. It's trendy to crap on that movie now and I can see how it wouldn't work for some sensibilities, but it totally plays to me.
Much like how this short film plays to me. It has nothing to do with SKY CAPTAIN or that film's team, but it feels like a kindred spirit. It's called IRON SKY and goddamn does it look fun.

Describing SPEED RACER is kinda like trying to describe an acid trip. A really fun, colorful, shiny acid trip. While some of you may cry foul at the comparison of what's purported to be a kids' film to LSD, I'm surely not the first person in the world to suggest some kids' entertainment was also designed for those experimentally inclined. I mean, I know kids keep all kinds of kooky hours, but Teletubbies at 4am was always a crack up to me. Fortunately, this should be (I hope) completely lost on the young 'uns while being blatantly obvious to the grown ups.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I've already told you guys how I feel about the flick and now we're starting to get word back from those seeing advance screenings of the movie, even one or two from the AICN Austin screening.
The word is pretty split. Some like it, some don't. We've got a good balance of both views below! Enjoy, but be warned... there are some spoilers below!
Hi Harry, Moriarty, Quint,
