Our amigos at First Showing directed us to these new lysergic images from the Wachowski Brothers' Speed Racer. The still above makes me want to sink into an altered state and get a $50 car wash with a $5 Sweet Pear air freshener. That's a first. These images will appear in an upcoming cover story…

An early review of Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski's Speed Racer has popped up over at AICN and the anonymous reviewer reports that the film might not be rated G after all. He's saying PG-13. "No, as it stands there is cursing in it, which shocked my roommate and I because we heard that they…

The ambiguity of this news is just so ninja.
