Movie Review: **** Cars 2 (2011)

 The sequel leaves Mater (Larry the Cable Guy) and McQueen (Owen Wilson) in place but adds a spy movie; Finn McMissile (Michael Caine) and Holley Shiftwell (Emily Mortimer).  They are up against a cabal of lemons who want to destroy race car driving.  Sir Miles Axlerod (Eddie Izzard) heads the bad guys as a double.  He has made a fake fuel which is suppose to be bad because he is shooting lasers at it.  He hopes to take advantage of the oil field he has discovered.  

Entertaining but not as good as the original.   

Movie Review: Animated Movie: *****Cars (2006)

 Cars is a fantastic movie.  We had a foster son who was the CaaChow kid.  He was so excited about this movie, and would carry a toy of Lightning McQueen around.  

Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) is a young cocky race car.  However he gets left in rural country and is lost, and in his fear to find where he is destroys a road.  He is sentenced the next day to fix the road by the judge Doc Hudson (Paul Newman).  He also meets the prosecuting attorney, Sally Carrera (Bonnie Hunt) and begins to fall for her.  Mater (Larry the Cable Guy) is assigned to keep an eye on McQueen.  A cocky car can learn lots from country pumpkins; and that is the theme of this movie.  McQueen becomes a changed person, as do the members of the community.
