Kevin Carr looks ahead to this week’s movie releases, effectively shredding The Final Destination, urging you to stay clear of Halloween 2 and Taking Woodstock to task.

‘Taking Woodstock’ is an unexpected detour into sunny territory for director Ang Lee but it’s so lightweight it’s almost insubstantial.

A little birdie left a bunch of cool images from Taking Woodstock on my doorstep, and then clumsily flew off into a nearby window.

According to those that have seen the script, it seems so.

The young actor wants to tackle the most famous theater role of all time with the director of Twilight at the helm. Good idea or bad idea? Methinks they doth protest too little.

Ang Lee’s forthcoming flick has a new poster that looks like H.R. Pufnstuf threw up all over a large piece of paper. In the good way.

Last night the first trailer for Taking Woodstock, the latest film from director Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain), premiered during the Comedy Central show Important Things with Demetri Martin. And since then, it has appeared online in a low resolution format. Lo-res or not though, we feel that it’s important that you get a look this morning.

Kevin Carr looks at Australia, Four Christmases, Transporter 3 and Milk, in theaters this week with the FSR Report Card.

It’s the Big, Fat Thanksgiving Special! Kevin and Neil beam into the Magical Virtual Studio in the Sky two days early to get ready for their Thanksgiving feast which will keep them napping through the weekend.

Six months after Medellin premiered at Cannes to a disastrous reception, the quartet is divided by the repercussions.

To put it simply, Gus Van Sant’s upcoming film Milk, which stars Sean Penn as California’s first openly gay elected official, Harvey Milk, looks fantastic.

Upon screening Speed Racer, the latest attempt by the brothers Wachowski to push the envelope of technical effects in filmmaking, I can come away with one two clear conclusions. On one hand, I have a headache. On the other hand, I have decided that the Wachowskis are sick, in more ways than I can count.

Speed Racer is a movie to experience, not just a movie to watch. It’s a complete package with campy humor, thrilling action sequences, and emotional dramatics – all delivered through the unparalleled visual style of The Wachowski Brothers.

Besides The Incredible Hulk, I can’t think of another summer release that has me more puzzled than Speed Racer. The first trailer looked like it could be a cute, fun diversion. The international trailer upped the ante a bit by adding more plot and action. But this music video on MySpace just makes me ill.

As if you thought you could escape Speed Racer today, we have yet another extended clip. This time, Apple has posted a great new 4-minute featurette to accompany the 4-minute extended trailer that we brought you earlier today.

The verdict is still out on Speed Racer, the next film from The Wachowski Brothers. Will it be as cool as The Matrix? We can’t be sure, just yet. But as for what we can see in this brand new trailer, we are at least interested in seeing more.

The Wachowski Brothers’ upcoming film Speed Racer may look cool, and it may be grabbing the attention of big kids like us, but its box office success will hinge on how many families head to the theater to see it in late-May.

Speed, Trixie and Racer X all get their own marketing vehicles… And they all go vroom vroom.

Speed Racer gets another trailer, further fueling the emotional rollercoaster that is the film’s marketing campaign.
