Furious Speed

 “Let's go for a little ride.”

-Dom, “The Fast and the Furious”

 

With the price of gasoline rocketing (not to mention the cringe-worthy prices of those sleek and shiny sports cars we all dream of owning), it's no wonder that we common people turn to the big screen in hopes of getting our automobile fixes...er, fixed. The recent decade has seen an advance in movies featuring cars in all their glory, the two mentioned here heading the list.

 

The Fast and the Furious takes us into the underground culture of street racing: a world of seasoned drivers, hot babes, and equally erection-inducing automobiles. Set in an urban backdrop amidst the heat of rival gangs, the film uses a crime story as an excuse to display a wide array of juiced-up cars and blitz-crazy racing sequences.

 

The cast was well picked for their particular roles, with the possible exception of Paul Walker, who, as the screenplay goes, really didn’t have to do much acting. The sound track and mixing fits the bill, and gears the viewer for the action sequences. The plot seems reminiscent of many cop flicks— an undercover policeman getting too involved with those he’s investigating and the film throws in a red herring for good measure. It’s a rehash yes, but not an entirely bad attempt of one.

 

Besides the main feature of the movie, anyway, are the cars and the racing. The autos are souped up, flashy from the chassis to their shiny sinews underneath the hood. While some might nitpick on a couple of mechanical elements here and there, the film writers did their research and their consultants know their stuff. Not just for style, the featured cars perform too. Aside from elevating a normal street racing scenes up a notch, the movie also adds a considerable amount of horsepower to their chase sequences. To boot, the stunt drivers and coordinators perform a truck-jacking heist at 100mph seamlessly which deserves a seat in the annals of film history.

 

Overall, it’s fun to watch, if you’re really into cars and looking for a high-paced action flick.

 

Speed Racer has been getting a lot of flak since its opening in May this year. Based on the famous 1960s Japanese cartoon series of the same name, Speed Racer the movie is the Wachowski brothers' take on this racing story.

 

Set in a dizzying world of colors that will never be found in a rainbow, the Racer family featuring Speed goes up against an evil automobile-racing magnate who is determined, in all his purple resplendence, to stop them from winning. It's the classic good vs. bad, the little people vs. the big, greedy conglomerates. Speed sets out to prove that that racing isn't all dirty, aided by the mysterious Racer X, in gravity-defying races that run from landscapes covered in ice to sand-blasted deserts.

 

Most of the negative comments on Speed Racer come from the campiness of the movie, the overwhelmingly blinding set productions and the weaker-than-watered-down-soda storyline. True, the dialogue consisted mostly of bunches of clichés strung together and it was rather painful having to watch Mr. Royalton mumble off that speech on racing, but the plot did have its moments.

 

The races were highly imaginative: CGI employed for all its worth. While fun to watch and thrilling in its own right, there was some confusion as to what exactly what was going on in the race. Despite everything though, Speed Racer earns some points at least for sticking true to its cartoon original. It's a must-watch for those who loved the series, for comparison's sake if not for anything else.

An Introduction to DVD Players

Entertainment has always been an inseparable part of our lives. No one can even think to live his or her life without having any medium of entertainment. Since centuries, we all have applied various methods to entertain our senses. From stage dramas to the magnificent Sci-Fi movies, we have approached all methods to satisfy our urge for entertainment. However, one of the latest methods include the DVDs and their players.


Though these devices are highly expensive, the buyers can also get the cheap DVD Players. These devices play discs with the technical standards of both the DVD Audios and DVD Videos. These players can be used for excellent interactive learning apart from fun games and mind blowing teasers.


The DVD players read DVDs containing the video formats, viz. ISO and UDF. The information stored in the disc is then optionally decoded. These devices then read the DVD's lockout codes and work according to it. These machines also display a warning signal if they are not capable to play the DVD contents. These devices also decode the MPEG-2 video stream with a speed of 8 MB /sec or 10 MB /sec. The work of these players is not just limited to decoding the videos present in the disks. They also decode sounds in various formats such as MP2, AC-3 and PCM. The sound file is then sounded with an optical digital connector and a stereo connector. The result of all these processes is a video signal that is either in analog form supporting formats such as NTSC, PAL or SECAM or in digital form that works on connectors like DVI or HDMI.


Various latest DVD players are available with LCD screens which can be connected to a TV. Only after the connections have been made, it becomes possible for the user to play certain games and watch videos on the bigger screen of TV. Also, the latest DVD players come with additional CD playback capabilities. Various DVD players can be used by the users to play audio & video CDs and they also include a decoder related to the home theater system. Some of the latest versions of these players are also available, which are capable to play the DVDs containing latest MPEG - 4 ASP video format.


The cost of these players are highly reasonable. These cheap DVD players can also download music and animation programs which when played on the screen of the device make every moment very exciting. Some of the players also provide the facility of copying the downloaded music on CD or a DVD by making use of the burn option of the writing software which comes pre-installed in these players.

Film Review: Live Free or Die Hard

Kevin L. Powers

An improvement over the previous mess but a good film this does not make. Let’s just say that this film, like much of what Hollywood is putting out lately, is geared towards the brain-dead crowd who wants their action loud and story nil (or gone altogether) and R-rated violence numbed to the PG-13 crowd so that everyone and their grandmother won’t feel offended to go see. I’m offended that groundbreaking Die Hard franchise has been dumbed down to a knock-off of itself with neither the creativity nor the heart of its predecessor.

Let’s just forget that in both the first two films the heart of the film was watching how far John McClane (again Bruce Willis) will go to save the woman he loves not to mention his marriage. Everything he did was geared towards McClane discovering what truly made him both an endearing and fallible hero. He was someone whom the audience felt went through hell in order to reach heaven. Although in the third film the relationship with his wife was numbed down to a couple phone calls and off remarks from secondary characters, you never felt like McClane had any personal stake in what was going on around him and therefore the film became nothing more than a cop film with no heart. Nothing we hadn’t seen before by the countless other Die Hard knock-offs of the ‘90s.

The new film Lie Free or Die Hard is nothing more than action set pieces stitched together in an action movie with little story to tie everything together. I’m not saying there isn’t one; I just saying that other knock-offs have come up with better. In Die Hard 4 McClane is having problems with his daughter Lucy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who looks to be in college prompting me to think has twenty years really gone by since the last film?) and to top it off he’s been put in charge of bringing a local hacker (Justin Long) to Washington D.C. for questioning by the FBI. This routine pick up turns into a blood bath of bullets as McClane soon discovers that the hacker may be responsible for helping a terrorist take over the United States via computers. The rest of the film follows McClane and the hacker from one set piece to the next as they try to overthrow the terrorists trying to overthrow the U.S. government. I commend screenwriter Mark Bomback for trying his hand at a patriotic action film similar to what Stallone did with his Rambo films, but those films had a heart and spirit left void here.

Once you get past the first fifteen minutes of set up which is atrociously paced giving the impression of a bad script with even worse acting from everyone involved because everything feels forced, the action set pieces are quite good and excellently handled by director Len Wiseman and his crew. This is not surprising since Wiseman did an excellent job on the Underworld series of films if only he had borrowed those screenwriters for a rewrite. There are several nice moments between McClane and the hacker, whose constantly asks why McClane does what he does, that question the definition of what a hero “is” and what a hero sacrifices in order to become a hero. These scenes are at the heart of the film only by the end of the film there is no payoff for McClane’s character as he never truly realizes what he has sacrificed to become this “All-American Hero” that everyone in the film claims he is.

I’m sure they tried to show this through his relationship with his daughter Lucy, who at the beginning of the film claims her mother’s maiden name, but her scenes are few and far in between and she comes off as a last minute addition to the film as her character truly has nothing to do.

The film also has no problem going against character as the mastermind behind the terrorism Thomas Gabriel (Timothy Olyphant) has no problem forcing his men to kill innocents in order to kill McClane, as the scene in the tunnel plainly shows, but for no reason at all he has problems killing McClane’s daughter, McClane being the man that killed his girlfriend and constantly provokes him to no end. Gabriel should’ve had no problems killing McClane’s daughter and then taunting him to no end but because the film is hampered by so many other things these scenes in the third act are laughable at best.

The film is best played for laughs as that’s all that’s left in the franchise since McClane has now become as bad as Spider-Man with the one liners and retorts. Not once in the entire film do you ever feel McClane is any danger and not once do you find yourself taking anything seriously. We all know it is a film and meant to entertain but how far does the action film genre have to fall before we finally say enough is enough? Where are the original Die Hards or Lethal Weapons or First Blood? Has the well dried so much or does Hollywood just no longer have a backbone? Where has the heart gone?
