Hi Caty,
I hope to check Cars out soon on Blu-Ray! I’ll let you know what I think. I saw an exhibition on the Art of Pixar in London’s Science Museum, and the pre-production paintings were beautiful. I hope the story is up to scratch.
As for Hairspray… check out my review in the new MovieMail catalogue! (also, I did an earlier blog on it back in July!)

ok I skipped this movie because I figured it would just be a cute children’s movie…which I would normally skip anyway but after a review like that I suppose I will have to find it on DVD and watch it. Thanks again, Milo. As to my favorite “Food” movie, my favorite movies have memorable food scenes but are not related to food: Hostel 2 for a memorable meal with a tourist and of course, the infamous Dinner at the Castle in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Ratatouille was an excellent piece of art. One of my favourite from Pixar, after Finding Nemo, Incredibles and Toy Story.
Pixar is always doing their best, that’s what I admire from them most. Just a shame that the kids (at least, in my exprience) found it a “so-so” film. I asked my 5-year-old sister and her friends if they enjoyed it, they answered “I liked it, but it was boring”, heh. (You have to buy “The art of” book. Beautiful)

I don’t recommend you to watch Cars though. The animation quality is superb, but the plot… blegh.

By the way, can’t wait to know what you think about Hairspray! It’s such a lovable, full of joy film… and I fell in love with John Travolta.
