No favorable review I've ever written has inspired more disbelief than my three stars for "Speed 2." Even its star, Sandra Bullock, started mentioning in interviews her disgust with herself for agreeing to star in it. It's frequently cited as an example of what a lousy critic I am. (Note well: Siskel also gave it thumbs up.) All the same, I'm grateful to movies that show me what I haven't seen before, and "Speed 2" had a cruise ship plowing right up the main street of a Caribbean village. In the spring of 1999, at the University of Colorado's Conference on World Affairs, I argued that movies like this weren't as easy to make as it might appear. In a moment of madness I announced in self defense a contest for a new "Speed 3." The rules were: It should be on VHS, no longer than five minutes long, and must involve something that cannot stop moving.

I just wanted to remind everyone that the open casting call for Chan's movie 'Son of No One' is Today!!
For those who don't know, 'Son of No One' will be directed by Dito Montiel (i.e. the director of Chan's past and future films 'A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints', 'Fighting', and 'Brotherhood of the Rose') and will start filming in New York City in March 2010. The crime thriller will be released some time in 2011.
The production is holding an open call for boys and girls of any race today in New York City. They are looking for boys to play 15 year old versions of Channing Tatum and Terrence Howard. 'Son of No One' is also looking for girls who look like they're 15.
In case you're wondering what Chan looked like around the age of 15, you can...
