Is GTA IV crushing Iron Man?
We’ve heard that before: studio head honchos don’t like to release their movie the same week a blockbuster video-game is released. Some even blame video-games for the poor results of theirs. GTA IV hit the shelves the day before Iron Man opened last week. So how bad is Niko Bellic for Tony Stark? Just before the big opening, the guys from Reelz Channel and Variety were wondering if Iron Man’s results could be hurt by the release of GTA IV (watch the video below). 6... Read More
Sunday Ads: Cadbury “Airport trucks racing”
digg_url = 'WEBSITE_URL'; Okay. We already shared some ads with you guys this week: the Hoff and Heidi Klum for Volkswagen, and the newest Iron Man TV spot. Now we’d like to share this Cadbury ad we first saw on Autoblog. We called it “Airport trucks racing” because it describes it perfectly.

Knight Rider last night
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/02/18/knight-rider-last-night/'; NBC aired its two-hour movie “event” last night and of course we were in front of the TV. While we were pleasantly surprised by the show -which was better than we expected- it could have been much better. There’s been tons of reactions on the Internet, both by websites and their users, and they tend to be either very sour (like Autoblog and its “liveblog” (and most of... Read More
Sunday Ads: Honda “Fall Guy” commercial
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/02/17/sunday-ads-honda-fall-guy-commercial/'; Today being the day of the premiere of the new Knight Rider, this commercial using another big show of the 80’s is particularly appropriate. The Fall Guy was hugely popular in Germany and Germans were almost as fans of Lee Majors as they were nuts about David Hasselhoff. So recently Honda brought back “the unknown stuntman” to promote its CRV. He’s seen being way... Read More

The Bullitt chase recreated
Motive mag is an automotive website with cool articles, fresh news and an excellent graphic design. Actually that’s the first thing that came to my mind when I went there. It’s a nice change compared to some of the most popular car websites… you know which ones I’m talking about. One of their guys, Jay Lamm, went up to San Francisco with a 2008 Bullitt Mustang to recreate the chase, and tells you all about it, with maps, pictures and witty words. “In... Read More
