Some of my more detailed reviews - books, films, theatre trips, software etc. I will also post the text of some of my sermons here.

Cars

Details on IMDB.

The story of a racing car rookie who is likely to win the most prestigious trophy in his sport, and be the first rookie ever to do so. This is Pixar animation at its best, unfortuneately its also creepingly disney. By which I mean its overly sentimental and moralising. I've heard a review that said its a film for eight year old boys and the love interest was tacked on to gain a wider audience. Maybe, but its a seamless addition, if its an addition at all. this is a less punchy film than I've come to expect from Pixar, have they lost their edge? No, if nothing else stay for the credits and watch them - that's more like it! There are some good jokes in the film and they are nicely set in the story, I particularly liked the tractors.

Overall its watchable, but not nearly as funny as I was expecting.
