Cars
Ahhh... it's got that new movie smell.

Genres: Action / Comedy / Animation
Director: John Lasseter and Joe Ranft
Distributors: Buena Vista Pictures
Starring: Owen Wilson, Paul Newman, Bonnie Hunt, Richard Petty
Lightning McQueen, a hotshot rookie race car driven to succeed, discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line, when he finds himself unexpectedly detoured in the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. On route across the country to the big Piston Cup Championship in California to compete against two seasoned pros, McQueen gets to know the town's offbeat characters--including Sally, a snazzy 2002 Porsche, Doc Hudson, a 1951 Hudson Hornet with a mysterious past, and Mater, a rusty but trusty tow truck, who help him realise that there are more important things than trophies, fame and sponsorship.


See No Evil
Eight Teens, One Weekend, One Serial Killer.

Genres: Suspense / Horror
Director: Gregory Dark

Starring: Glen "Kane" Jacobs, Michael J. Pagan, Christina Vidal, Samantha Noble
Seven feet tall. Four hundred pounds. A rusty steel plate screwed into his skull and razor-sharp fingernails that pluck out his victims' eyes. Reclusive psychopath Jacob Goodnight is holed up in the long-abandoned and rotting Blackwell Hotel, alone with his nightmares until eight petty criminals show up for community service duty along with the cop who put a bullet in Jacob's head four years ago. When one of their own is kidnapped by the killer and her fate uncertain, the remaining lawbreakers must fight this indestructible force of nature with a violent score to settle.
