go speedracer go!

ple and i watched speedracer last saturday in megamall. much to my excitement in getting to watch a premiere, one thing slipped my mind. it was the 3 day sale of megamall. so imagine my shock when i saw almost the entire metro manila population (exagg, pero it felt like it) walking the whole stretch of the mall. babies, infants on strollers, mothers, fathers, grandparents, kids, lovers, you name it they were there. along with the sweltering summer heat. it was torture.

the upside of this, i was able to buy 2 cute sandals for work. yey!

so anyway, on to speedracer.

i'm not going to go into the full movie review thing. i'm not going to pretend i'm this expert on movies. so i'll just post as a typical blogger who was able to watch a movie - after all these years. the last time i was able to watch a movie was... a long time ago. see, i can't even remember the last movie i saw.

but i digress. on with the comments:

> the film was colorful. vivid, striking, in your face colors. it was like watching a comic book come to life.
> the cgi was superb. but quite dizzying especially the racing part.
> obviously it was directed by the matrix directors. the signature matrix "chenes" we all know.
> everytime we see Rain, we can't help but snicker and remember his clear commercial.
> i find cristina ricci a bit old for the role of trixie. but i guess she looks quite cartoonish to fit the part.
> there were some parts that were quite dragging that i can't help but make chika with ple while watching. hehe sorry ple!
> overall, it's a light movie that the kids would enjoy. i think mine will with their love for cars and all.

but we are still looking forward to watching Ironman soon. :P
