It’s beautiful, it’s fast, it’s silly (in the good way), it’s exciting and inspired. Go Speed go!

Hate it deep, hate it true. Scroll wheel is super flaky (as in, randomly doesn’t work). Eats batteries like there’s no tomorrow. Thumbs down on this puppy.

And Gandalf as the guardian bear – must see, folks.

Interesting but outright weird.

Only the bare necessities of plot in this one, with terrific result. Best chases and action scenes evah. Exciting, fun and what a summer movie should be.

Better than any I’ve seen. Still has non-semantic divs, and source ordering is so-so, but intuitive and quick as a whip to create layouts.

Sport of kings indeed!

Great morning music. Fresh and bright, the essences of The Beach Boys and the Benedictine Monks synthesized.

Text rendering is utterly abysmal, nigh unto unreadable, but may be due to aforementioned necessary hack. Unimpressed thus far.
