Cars go Brmmm

I went with the kids to see Cars on Saturday morning. We went to the first session at Hornsby, to beat the rush.

I really liked the movie. Typical story arc of The Hero's Journey, featuring talking cars. Owen Wilson who voiced the fast talking hero Lightning McQueen, just played his usual character.

What was amazing about the film was the look of it all. The realism of the scenery and the shiny appearance of the cars. The racing scenes were just unreal. It was hard to believe this whole movie had been rendered on computers.

Brice sat through the whole movie (again) which is a hilight for me, and he even waited through all the credits for the little fun things that Pixar always do

The movie is having mixed reviews from critics, but I reckon it's going to be a block buster
