"I guess he didn't like the oatmeal!" - DEATH RACE trailer!

by Matt Holmes

So I'm watching the trailer for Paul W.S. Anderson's latest cinematic achievement and I'm pleasantly surprised as The Bourne Ultimatum's talented Joan Allen gives her usual great line delivery. Surely an actress like her who never takes the paycheck role may actually have signed up to a worthwhile project? Well very quickly my sense came back to my head. The movie looks all kinds of crap.

Gone is the goofiness, the camp, the whole basic concept of the original (which was neither a race, nor a battle against other cars... it was basically like Grand Theft Auto, you gain points for the amount of people you kill and damage you cause) and in it's place is a Mad Max colour scheme video game that is going to be a yawn fest I'm sure. I'm going to have a hard time sitting through this one...
