Movie Reviews by Reel People: 'Cars 2'
On the second lap of “Cars,” Pixar hopes Lightning can strike twice. However, this time, it stars Mater, voiced by Larry the Cable guy, who is simply truck smart and semi-stupid. The race is on in this visual sensation. Even if in this G rated kid-friendly feature, big oil, evil scientists and gangsters give the word “mechanic” a whole new meaning.
Letter: Pole painting
While driving along Canyon Lake Drive I was amazed to see the street signposts sporting a fresh coat of white paint. In these days of financial difficulties, the expense of such a thing is foolish beyond belief. Who authorized such a thing? Is this a “make work” program?
Letter: Praise and criticism
Thanks, Sean, for the great letter in the June 24 The Friday Flyer. Much better than the first one. However, in the article quoting Mayor Pro Tem Nancy Horton she sounded like she was going to spank all the voters’ hands for not getting her way. Resign now. Do us all a favor. Or work with what you have.
Letter: Mammoth Motocross
It was really great to see Canyon Lake locals at one of the most challenging motocross races in the country – Monster Energy Mammoth Motocross – held last weekend.
