Every movie can’t be dynamite. Often enough, they suck. Speed Racer is one of those films that many people agree to be not so great. Although this is the popular consensus, it’s a film that some of us can’t help but enjoy.
Many of us know a good movie when we see one. We appreciate what it brings to the table, and for whatever reason it just speaks to us. On the other hand, we can pick out bad movies too. We know when a movie is not living up to its potential. We know when the actors or director are phoning it in. It’s those bad movies that make us appreciate the good ones so much more.
Unfortunately the quality of a film isn’t always black and white. Sometimes a film may be absolutely rubbish, yet we enjoyed the time we spent watching it.

Tom Hardy has claimed that Mel Gibson was "bored with him" when the past and present Mad Max actors met up.
The Dark Knight Rises and Inception star is taking on the title role in the new Mad Max: Fury Road movie but admitted that the original Max Rockatansky was less than impressed when they crossed paths.
Speaking to Details magazine, Hardy said: "I met Mel. I needed to meet Mel purely from a young man's perspective.
"I want to touch base with the previous Max and just say hello. And is it okay? Because I'm taking on Max, I have to meet Max."
On how the meeting went, he confessed: "He was bored with me. He said, 'All right, buddy, good luck with that'. Bless him. I made him a bracelet. And then we talked for a couple of hours about all kinds of stuff.
"I left, and that was that.

Jane Levy stars as Stepphy, who lives in a 1960s town with her alcoholic father and dreams of escaping to a life of stardom on the stage and screen. Justin Chatwin stars as Bobby Shore, a rock star who may hold the key to making those dreams a reality. However, a dangerous chemical spill that causes human mutations puts a pause on all that. A theatrical release for "Bang Bang Baby" is planned for later this year. Read More: Random Media Acquires 'Camilla Dickinson' and 'The Jokesters' at 2015 Berlinale...

Pre-credit sequence. The teams are arriving in trucks, practically "Wages of Fear" style. Are they trying to say that this season's contestants are combustible? They're TNT, dyno-mite? The 18 castaways have been divided semi-arbitrarily into three tribes based on occupation and outlook on life, whatever that means. Up first? The White Collar tribe. "They're used to being in charge," Jeff Probst says. So admits she might be the Devil, says that she's demanding and makes her underlings cry. Max, who everybody I follow on Twitter knows from his "Survivor" teaching days, says that he's willing to use people to succeed. Carolyn compares this to her corporate experiences. The Blue Collar tribe is next. "They're used to hard work and physical labor," Probst says condescendingly. He resists calling them "salt of the earth" and "just folks." Mike is used to being covered in oil and mud and wants to get his hands filthy.

The clock is ticking on Avengers: Age Of Ultron and possibly the entire future of Marvel’s ultimate dream team. The movie lands in exactly a month and, released under the film's code name 'After Party', it has a final poster to share with the world. The world that it may be about to Reduce To Dust. In a good way. Click on the images for a closer look, especially at news that Anthony Mackie's Falcon/Sam Wilson is definitely appearing in this one and that Danny Elfman will be contributing in an 'additional music' capacity. Plot-wise, of course, malevolent A.I. Ultron (voiced and performance-captured by James Spader) is posing a twin threat to Rogers, Stark, Banner et al: firstly, with its megalomaniac agenda and ability to reduce large swathes of the planet to dust, it’ll prove a formidable foe; and secondly, the fact that...

Laughter may be the best medicine, but it sure didn’t get prescribed a whole lot in the midseason premiere of Grey’s Anatomy. While Derek prepared for his move to D.C., lest he and Mer honor their “till death do us part” vow by killing one another, Jackson and April reeled from the revelation that their baby has osteogenesis imperfecta, and a mother drove off a bridge with her kids in the car. On a lighter note… well, keep reading. We’ll get to the lighter note when we get there.
