The more I think about the movie, "Speed Racer", the more I realize that I actually thought it was pretty cool. In an IMAX theater, or on a home theater with a large flat-screen and cool surround sound (which I don't have), it would be really awesome.

I hated reading all the bad reviews of it so I thought I would post a good review of that seems to get it right ...

That review is from TIME magazine.

It's sad when movies are not appreciated in their time. A good example is "Blade Runner", which is one of the best movies ever to me, but it's lifetime gross is only about $32 million (and it was re-released recently).

I'm not saying "Speed Racer" is as good as "Blade Runner", but the visuals of "Speed Racer" blow most movies away.

I have been listening to a CD I burned of music from Blade Runner. However, it's not like the soundtrack that you would buy off of Amazon. It's the definitive soundtrack or something like that. It has a lot more to it, and it has different versions of the same songs, I think. Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies. My favorite part is when Harrison Ford is trying to figure out where Zhora(Joanna Cassidy) is. The scene where he uses a special computer to zoom in on a photo to the scene where Zhora crashes through a clothing store's display window is one of the best sequences in film history. The soundtrack was done by Vangelis who also did that song from Chariots of Fire and lots and lots of other stuff. Vangelis was always very good at giving music an "electric" sound, if that makes any sense.

Here is the trailer for Blade Runner ...

And here are all the songs I have related to it(I may have duplicates of some or they may be the same title but different versions ... I am not taking time to figure that out).

I found a cool website that has everything you need to know about Blade Runner, called Blade Zone. That's where I got all of the pictures.
