DEATH RACING TOWARDS CRAP

I’ll keep this short, since Paul W. S. Anderson’s Death Race (nee Death Race 3000) is quickly becoming one of my most reviled movies of the year, and it’s not even shot yet. I know that’s bad.

Kosinski is probably best known for the Gears of War commercial that uses Mad World on the … Continue reading
