We dig the cars in car flicks -- but what about the cars that make the flicks about cars? Looking less like Transformers and more like space junk peddled by the sand people, it's hard to imagine what it takes to turn a regular old car into a mobile studio worthy of Deja Vu (pictured). The ...

VIDEO: Quantum of Solace trailer #2... oh yeah... 1 year ago on Autoblog

The trailer for the latest Bond film is out, and you could be disappointed: they pushed the release date of the film in the U.S. back a week. If you can get over that, you'll find that everything else is two minutes and twenty-eight seconds of "Holy %$#@! that was awesome!" It's almost like ...

VIDEO: Transporter 3 trailer debuts, could be worse than Transporter 2 1 year ago on Autoblog

New Clint Eastwood vehicle titled Gran Torino 1 year ago on Autoblog

While he's shown a certain flair for historical pieces, we sincerely doubt that Clint Eastwood would forego his formidable film-crafting talent to make a documentary about a mid 1970's Ford that can be had for a dollar per pound.

How'd they do that? Driving tricks from the Bourne Ultimatum 2 years ago on Autoblog

Doesn't it always look so convincing?
