"Cars": Director John Lasseter and his Pixar animation team's latest feature is about a hotshot rookie race car (voiced by Owen Wilson) who learns about life in the slow lane when he finds himself detoured and unexpectedly routed to the sleepy town of Radiator Springs. Paul Newman, Larry the Cable Guy and Bonnie Hunt also lend their vocal talents. (G)
"A Prairie Home Companion": The big-screen adaptation of Garrison Keillor's popular public radio variety show is directed by Robert Altman. It's the fictional story of the show's last broadcast, as the new Texas conglomerate owners of the Minnesota home station, looking for more profitability, pulls the plug on Keillor's show. Between musical numbers, there are illicit affairs, strange apparitions and a death. The all-star cast includes Meryl Streep, Lindsay Lohan, Lily Tomlin, Kevin Kline, Woody Harrelson, John C. Reilly, Tommy Lee Jones, and Keillor himself, shown above. (PG-13)
