The "Racer" stalls as surfers soar
For a generation weaned on the original Speed Racer—mostly nonsensical, laughably unplotted, kinetically colorful—the Wachowski brothers' film treatment, opening today, will seem surprisingly faithful. For fun, we recommend skipping the theater and reading the critics' candy-addled descriptions instead (like "pouring hot Starbursts on your corneas," reports MSNBC; or "an exploding bag of digital Skittles," explains The New York Times). For more rewarding fare, check out Surfwise, Doug Pray's documentary about Doc Paskowitz, who abandoned the rat race to ride the waves. The Paskowitz family—Doc, his wife, Juliette, and their nine children—live in a 24-foot camper and devote themselves to surfing with a mythic intensity Speed can't match. Surfwisemay not have the electric colors, but it goes for the heart, not the teeth.
