If you’re a fan of insane car chases, huge explosions and catchy one-liners, then Death Race is not for you. The variation-on-a-theme in brought to you courtesy of Paul W.S. Anderson (Resident Evil) and with action about as mindless as Paris Hilton taking the SAT, Death Race’s engine stalls, then spirals out-of-control in a wall. Buckle up, kiddos, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Fred Durst... really? That was my initial reaction after learning from my press notes that the former Limp Bizkit frontman had directed The Longshots (And yes, we're talking about the same guy who sang the lyrics, "keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'").

Janelle Monae is out of this world. The black-to-the-future style of Bad Boy’s unclassifiable songstress is a site to behold. One listen to her EP, Metropolis: The Chase Suite, and you’ll see why. 
     Given her robotic futuristic Judi Jetson steelo we asked Ms. Monae to list her favorite Sci-Fi Movies of all time.
