You know it’s a poor week for new arrivals on DVD, when a film like Speed Racer is the most highly-rated. Not to intone that the Wachowskis’ film was at all beloved by the Criticker community. It was just slightly less despised than the others. The worst? Mike Meyers continues his sad slide into irrelevance with the painfully unfunny Love Guru… of course, we encourage you to buy it, anyway, as long as you’re using our links to do so!
