Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer, GO!


One of the greatest memories of my childhood was coming home from school and watching cartoons while mom made me a snack. I would try to finish my homework on the bus so I could watch my favorite cartoon. That cartoon was Speed Racer. Speed vs. Racer X! I now have the cartoons on DVD, my brother in law gave me a t-shirt a couple of years ago for Christmas. Wendy gave me a 1/16 diecast model of the Mach 5 with a Chim Chim action figure. Chim Chim was the pet monkey if you don't know. I just found out there is a live action movie coming out on May 9, 2008. It is being produced and directed by the guys that did the Matrix trilogy. You can watch the first trailer at http://movies.aol.com/movie/speed-racer-2008/28066/main

Another movie note: Wendy, Dan and I watched The Nativity tonight. Possibly the best made bible movie of all time. I highly recommend it for the Christmas season. Very biblically accurate film with some literary license that does nothing to change the story.

Have you seen "One Night With the King" before (not the Wenge life story...it's about Esther)? I think it's pretty good. I'll have to check out the Nativity Story.
