I’m a Beatles fan and I just saw the movie, Across the Universe, on dvd rental. It’s a fantastic film though I’m not much into musicals. But it’s the Beatles, so I enjoyed the movie and recommend it to other Beatles fans. The Across the Universe used the turmoil of the late ’60′s – early …

It has been awhile since I saw this classic 80′s gem. But one thing I did remember about Breathless was the nice rotation of cars that Richard Gere drove. He stole them, for the most part. Towards the end of the movie, he was riding around in a red Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz, a very rare …

From the shelf of a local rental store, the poster for the 2007 movie, The Hitcher, looks tempting. It’s stars Sean Bean who most remember as Boromir from Lords of the Ring: The Fellowship of the Ring. Sean Bean also stars in The Island. I posted on the truck that Steve Buscemi drove in the …

I rented the DVD for Sex Drive and it was hilarious. A teen movie about a guy, barely out of high school, who went for a long drive to hook up with a girl he met online to lose his virginity. It’s a road trip movie! And Ian (Josh Zuckerman) took two of his buddies …

What other car can hold candle to the 1969 Dodge Charger? Another Dodge. A 1970 Dodge Challenger RT, at least that’s according to Quentin Tarantino when he shot the car chase in Death Proof. The scene is famous because of 3 things It was a long chase, close to 20 minutes, I believe. Incredible stunts …

In The Lost Boys, one of the cookier moments was when Sam (Corey Haim) went with Grandpa (Barnard Hughes) for a short “ride” in Grandpa’s car, a 1957 Ford Fairlane Convertible 500 Skyliner with Retractable Hardtop. If I remember correctly, Grandpa fired up the car only to have it backdown the driveway, idle it for …

In the 2007 Transformers movie, Jazz was ripped in two by Megatron. He didn’t make it to the end of the movie. Ratchet couldn’t save him. Which was too bad. He seemed like a pretty cool character to have around. It’s surprising that he had a short-lived role in the Transformers series because I thought …

3000 Miles to Graceland is an underrated movie. It’s great action / comedy film pulled off by two of the most fun actors to watch, Kevin Costner (Murphy) and Kurt Russell (Michael Zane). In Murphy, Costner has created an enigmatic character that is both loved and hated by fans of the movie. Courtney Cox (Cybil) …

Only in a handful of very short scenes, the 1974 Rollsy Royce Corniche that Jake loaned Farmer Ted (geek) to drive Caroline (hot drunk blond) home really gave a lasting impression. I mean, back in high school, how’d you like to wake up in a parking with a hot blond in an expensive luxury car? …

I find it interesting that in a movie about warring vampires and werewolves, there are some kick ass cars to ogle. Perhaps maybe because in the same movie about warring vampires and werewolves, they also have guns to ogle. I’m a sucker for sci-fi, fantasy, and horror flicks. In Underworld, modern day vampires and werewolves …
