While waiting for ‘Cars 2′, watch ‘Mater’s Tall Tales’!
Among our cult car movies, Disney/Pixar’s Cars ranks high. Very high. The way it pictures the car industry and culture, the characters, the photography, the design, even the storyline… it’s a fantastic movie. So ever since Cars 2 has been announced we’ve been giddy like schoolgirls. Only problem is: we have to wait until 2012. To help us wait, John Lasseter’s team had come up with a mini-series of shorts featuring the beloved Mater. The Cars Toons:... Read More

Speed Racer: Mach 5 vs. Mach 6. What’s your favorite?
Update: now with a gallery! digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/05/07/speed-racer-mach-5-vs-mach-6-whats-your-favorite/'; If you’ve wandered in the toy section of any store recently, you’ve probably noticed that it’s a big battle between Iron Man and Speed Racer. Which is a bit ironic, considering that the first one is PG-13 and the second one PG… but it doesn’t matter, the kids love them. And ourselves, we couldn’t resist the new Hotwheels... Read More
Aston Martin DBS in Quantum of Solace
digg_url = http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/04/16/aston-martin-dbs-in-quantum-of-solace/'; We’re not too keen on using Autoblog as a source so often, but they do have great articles, and we like to share some of them with you. Tuesday, they posted two “spy” videos from the set of Quantum of Solace, the next James Bond. They don’t show much, but it’s quite fascinating to see the apparatus the production has to install on the Aston Martin DBS to shoot... Read More
Watch KITT every Wednesday in the fall
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/04/02/watch-kitt-every-wednesday-in-the-fall/'; After getting the news that the new Knight Rider was getting its own weekly show yesterday, we were keeping an eye on Variety, NBC and others to to see if the show would get a good slot in the Peacock’s schedule. Well, it didn’t get the best one, but Wednesdays at 8/7c is not too shabby either. Improvement in sight NBC has hired an experienced showrunner for the series, Gary... Read More
Knight Rider to become a series for fall 2008
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/04/01/knight-rider-to-become-a-series-for-fall-2008/'; Nope, it’s no April fool’s day hoax, Knight Rider will be part of NBC’s fall schedule on a weekly basis. While the 2 hour pilot, aired in February, was barely enjoyable and got many bad reviews, many people watched it and it got great ratings. If you want to read more about the pilot, check out our complete review. Hopefully, NBC will take in account all the... Read More
James Bond to drive a Ford Ka in Quantum of Solace
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/03/24/james-bond-to-drive-a-ford-ka-in-quantum-of-solace/'; Rest assured, we’re not talking about his real ride. As we stated before (read James Bond in the carpool lane), the Aston Martin DBS from Casino Royale will come back for the lead. But, just like in this previous movie with the Ford Mondeo, there’s a need for second roles. For Ford and the producers, it means there’s a need for product placement… The... Read More
’08 Death Race cars: ejector seats, napalm, and rocket launchers.
An homage? digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/03/06/08-death-race-cars-ejector-seats-napalm-and-rocket-launchers/'; That’s what Jason Statham recently declared about the upcoming remake, in an interview to SCI FI Wire (the online news section of the SCI FI channel) which we found quite reassuring. We’re big fans of the original here at CARS+MOVIES, and it’s nice to see the production show respect for it. Jason Statham has the lead role in the remake... Read More

We’ll spare... Read More
Wanted (2008) 2nd trailer
As we told you before, Wanted is on our watch list for 2008. And that’s not really for Angelina, but more for the promising car chases and some unique stunts. There’s a bit of The Matrix in it (controlling reality through mind power, some visuals) but it’s based on an original graphic novel by J.G. Jones and Mark Millar. Besides those great stunts, is it going to be worth watching? Verdict on June 27th, when it hits the theatres in the US. Watch the trailers... Read More
