The Mayans, the wise race of ancients who created hot cocoa, set December 21st, 2012 as the end date of their Calendar, which the intelligent and logical amongst us know signifies the day the world will end, presumably at 12:21:12am, Mountain Time. From now until zero date, we will explore the 50 films you need to watch before the entire world perishes. We don’t have much time, so be content, be prepared, be entertained. The Film: The Matrix (1999) The Plot: At the tail end of hacking being considered cool, a cool hacker is approached by other cool, smartly dressed hackers about fighting the man. But seriously now, Neo, a whipsmart hacker, is recruited by an underground movement only to realize his entire existence has been lived inside of a machine. Foreseen to be “The One” who will free humanity, Neo must master himself within the virtual world to topple the evil computer overlords.

It made our list for most anticipated movies of 2009, but until now, no one’s known when exactly it was coming out. Now we do.

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

If Chou isn’t referring to Ninja Assassin, the Wachowski Brothers may have another martial arts trick up their sleeve for audiences to look forward to.

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

Two more trailers show off the goofy semi-animated wonder that is Speed Racer.

Speed Racer has just been added to the growing list of summer blockbuster films to be shown on IMAX screens across the country this summer.
