Review of Car Wash (1976) by James P — 30 Jul 2006

I watched 7 flicks over the weekend. Fun!

Wallace and Gromit is my favorite film from last year. What a delight! Is there anybody who doesn't like it?

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock is sometimes unfairly singled out as an odd numbered bad Trek film. Bullsh[i]i[/i]t! I couldn't imagine calling my self a Trek fan and not liking this one. Paramount's DVD set is a must own too. I'd heard some of the original features weren't produced all that well. True; but the info they have is fascinating.

[b]Car Wash[/b] is underrated by a bunch of racists! I know everybody sees that [i]Car Wash = American Graffiti + a lot of soul[/i]. ;).

[b]Freaky Friday[/b], the original with Jodie Foster and sexy Barbara Harris. Foster said she was in a transitional period in her life moving from kid to adult. I think it helped this. But she had a lot of nice things to say about the cast and the experience working with Disney Studios.

[b] Used Cars[/b] is one of the funniest comedies ever! Excellent ensemble cast with Kurt Russell just right as a shady car dealer/senator hopeful, Jack Warden in 2 distinctly different roles and Peanuts the beagle dog the star of the show. The rest of the cast is great too with Frank McRae, Garrett Graham, "Grandma" from [i]The Munsters [/i]and "Lenny & Squiggy" from [i]Laverne & Shirley[/i] all stand outs. I love this film.
