Thank goodness for movie critics like Rex Reed. I'm still recovering from the insanity-drenched review by the empty-headed Richard Roeper (of the Chicago Sun-Times and that once-great TV reviewing show) that sent me to the lame "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." Fortunately, we have writers like Reed who aren't afraid to tell the truth about garbage from Hollywood and other places.

I saw an advanced preview of "Speed Racer," and I completely agree with Reed. The movie is mindless junk. Colorful, but incoherent. Far too long. Wasting talented performers like Susan Sarandon, who has really sold out; John Goodman, who no longer cares about acting; and the promising Emile Hirsch, who offered hope for the future of acting with "Into The Wild," but now seems just another slug. As for the once-interesting Christina Ricci, well... sad, very sad.

Thank you Rex Reed for your review of "Speed Racer." It hits the proverbial nail on the head.
