Fire

Woke up just over an hour ago after a long 14 hour night shoot. Had a week of 4am wake-up calls. All worth it. Tremendous footage in amazing locations and can't wait to start seeing assemblies. Flying back tomorrow.

I Like Candy

Did another double feature on Saturday. Caught Iron-man for the second time. Still Ironlicious. But first, took in Speed Racer on IMAX.

I'm not quite sure why the critics hate this film so much. It delivers exactly what the Wachowskis promised: a film for the entire family. It's rumored they even shot for a G-rating. It's too bad the cynical part of each critics heart can't accept this movie at face value.

It's pure eye candy. Over-the-top Technicolor cotton candy made for little boys. Adrenaline fueled summer fluff with groudbreaking effects.

It feels like the podrace from Episode One. Therein lies the problem I suppose. Clocking in at 2 hours, 15 minutes, its about 30-40 minutes too long.

Catch it in mindnumbing IMAX and turn off your brain. If nothing else, you'll be using this flick later this year to demo your Blu-Ray system.
