Movie Review: 'Speed Racer'
"Speed Racer" bemoans corporately financed entertainment for the masses while serving as a fine example thereof. So as big, blaring blockbusters go, it's a bit of a hypocrite. It is also self-congratulatory. When Susan Sarandon's Mom Racer (think Jane...Tags: Water Pollution, Emile Hirsch, Gaming, John Goodman, Chicago Tribune

That year, the brave new world of the action movie blazed in Reeves' sunglasses, and it looked <I>cool</I>.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2003-11/10094089.jpg "Once upon a time in 1999, the summer was supposed to belong to George Lucas and "The Phantom Menace,\" his resurrected \"Star Wars\" series.

'V for Vendetta'
!["V for Vendetta" is not a movie of ideas so much as it is an idea mall. By the time you've gotten through it, you feel spent, loaded down and more than a little disoriented.

But its moral and philosophical stances amount to a free-for-all.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-03/22467798.jpg ""V for Vendetta\" is not a movie of ideas so much as it is an idea mall.
