THE MOVIE: The CG-animated movie takes place in a world inhabited entirely by cars. Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) is the slick rookie taking the Piston Cup series by storm when the last race of the season ends in a three-way tie.

On the way to the tie-breaker race in California, Lightning loses his way off Route 66 in the Southwest desert and is taught to stop and smell the roses by the forgotten citizens of Radiator Springs – including former big-city lawyer Sally Carrera (Pixar veteran Bonnie Hunt), the town’s patriarch Doc Hudson (Paul Newman), and kooky tow truck Mater (Larry the Cable Guy).

THE GIVEAWAY: Ultimate “Cars” Gift Pack, which includes the Blu-ray and DVD editions of the movie, as well as two exclusive cars (Lightning McQueen and Rescue Squad Mater). Tons of bonus features, too.

The ones who are left have mutated into these super-strong, ghoulish-looking beings who seem to feel no pain. And they prey on the few human survivors who are left, and eat them to survive. Neville is a scientist who’s working on a cure for the virus, and encounters a woman and child who survived, too. Somewhat gruesome overall, but a great production, and Will Smith is great, as always.

THE GIVEAWAY: I have one "I Am Legend" Ultimate Collector’s Edition to give away ($36.99 value). It’s an awesome set for sci-fi and/or Will Smith fans. The three-disc box set includes two versions of the movie, one with a controversial ending; a digital copy of the film; four animated comics; 12 never-before-seen deleted scenes along with filmmaker’s commentary; a 44-page concept sketch book; a lucite commemorative piece featuring images from the movie; and hours of featurettes covering filming on the aircraft carrier Intrepid, canine training, making New York City look deserted, assistance provided by the U.S. Military, and the integration of CGI images with live action footage.
