The rational person in me who understands business and
money-making enterprises can grasp why Pixar decided that a sequel to Cars was necessary. But the movie critic,
or more aptly, the fan of cinema in me wishes that studios wouldn’t continue to
make sequels to undeserving films. The first was very high-grossing, but the
worst reviewed of all their films, most of which rank among the best in Hollywood
cinema (animated or not) of the last 15 years. Cars is the only Pixar film with under 90 percent on Rotten
Tomatoes and it’s the lowest scoring on Metacritic. But it grossed nearly $250
million domestic.
A blog mostly dedicated to cinema (including both new and old film reviews; commentary; and as the URL suggests - movie lists, although it has been lacking in this area to be honest), but on occasion touching on other areas of personal interest to me.
