Another Inspirational Teacher Film on the Way: Speed Boyz
Like the uplifting sports films we've all come to expect every year, another subgenre has become almost as predictable in its execution: the story of an inspirational teacher showing a group of misfit kids that they're underestimating their potential as he drives them towards accomplishing a seemingly impossible goal. Alcon Entertainment is throwing another one of these stories our way as THR reports that they have purchased a pitch called Speed Boyz about "real-life engineer-turned-teacher Simon Hauger, who inspired a group of troubled Philadelphia high schoolers to win a competition to build an alternative-fuel vehicle."
The pitch comes from screenwriter Michael Schiffer who had success with a similar story in Lean on Me, a drama that starred Morgan Freeman as real-life, hard-nosed New Jersey high school principal Joe Clark.
The pitch for Speed Boyz based on the true story: "when Hauger launched an unorthodox curriculum in 1998 to improve students' performance in ...

Crank 2: High Voltage was the most ridiculously insane over the top movies I have ever seen. Ever! This movie starts off like it is on speed and then continues to race faster and faster, jump higher and higher, taking every possible hyper speed upper illegal drug on the market to the point where the [...]
Who Knew The Super Friends Hall of Justice Was In My Hometown?
By Gil Kaufman
Like a lot of kids in the 1970s, my Saturday mornings were pretty booked up. There was the terribly dubbed Speed Racer to get through, not to mention Hong Kong Phooey, the Shazam/Isis Hour,” Speed Buggy, Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch, Jabberjaw and, of course, the big daddy of all must-see cartoons, Super [...]
Im terrified — the scariest thing Ive ever done. So begins a conversation these days with William H. Macy as he takes over Jeremy Pivens role in the David Mamet play Speed-the-Plow.
