Cars (2006)

[cheesy and disappointing]

Cars (2006)
IMDB- 7.3
Rotten Tomatoes- 74
RJG Rating- 35

A race car is forced to repair a road in the remote town of Radiator Springs,just days before the final of the Piston Cup.

Starring- Owen Wilson, Paul Newman,Bonnie Hunt
Director- John Lasseter

Cars was Pixar's 7th movie and directed by John Lasseter.This was John's 4th directorial venture ,the previous one being Toy Story 2.

Animation from Pixar once again holds up to its top notch standard.Cars takes place in a fictional universe where everything are vehicles (even bugs are shown as tiny cars with wings). Even though its absurd ,Pixar manages to pull it off.

But animation is the only worthwhile factor about this movie,the rest disappoints.Considering Pixar has made such classics such as the Toy Story series,Monsters,Nemo ,Incredibles ,its hard not to criticize Pixar for making a dull movie like Cars.

Story has nothing new to offer.Its a cliche ride all the way to the end.Other than a particular scene at the end (Lightning McQueen helping out a contestant), the rest of the movie is cheesy and at times unbearable.

Every Pixar movie has a host of excellent characters.Unfortunately Cars has close to none.Lightning ,the main lead ,has no likable factors.Mater ,is one of the most irritating characters ive ever seen.

John Lasseter disappoints with his work.Cars is made exclusively catered for the kids and wont interest older viewers.

On release Cars opened at #1 ,but it failed to get universal praise.Cars did succeed in making huge merchandise sales ,close to a billion dollars worth.

Overall,Cars is cheesy and is unlike the rest of the Pixar movies,give it a miss.

Animation- 4.5/5
Story- 2/5
Direction- 2/5
Action- 3.5/5
Comedy- 2/5
Drama- 2/5

Anger Management [1x02]

Anger Management [1x02] Charlie and the Slumpbuster

TV com Rating- 7.0
RJG Rating- 6.5

Charlie is visited by a woman he dated and dumped years back.

AM settles in a nice groove and the show passes by smoothly.But the laughter is scattered and the show doesnt hold the audiences' attention for too long.But the shows was an improvement over the last one.

Anger Management [1x01]

Anger Management [1x01] Charlie Goes Back to Therapy

TV com Rating-8.0

RJG Rating- 5.5

Charlie Goodson ,an anger management therapist, considers going back to some therapy after temporarily losing his anger.

Anger Management is Charlie Sheen's highly anticipated return to the TV screen after leaving Two & A Half Men last year.

The first episode of AM was not bad,it had the comedy and charisma of Charlie Sheen but it lacked a story.Maybe it was because it was busy introducing the characters,which it did a nice job of.But yet theres a lot of ground to cover up if AM wants to reach the levels of 2 and a half men
