Living: Spring Rehab

Eye-candy flicks

Harmony Korine's Mister Lonely and the Wachowskis' Speed Racer have three things in common: stunning cinematography, oddball plots, and helmet-loving protagonists. The former film is a love story between characters named "Marilyn Monroe" and "Michael Jackson" (played by Diego Luna), set in a Scottish commune of celebratory impersonators. Speed Racer, meanwhile, stars Emile Hirsch as a driver on a mission to, uh, fight corporate tyranny (or some shit) by winning a car race.
