	DVD REVIEW: TRUCKS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		There are some genuinely suspenseful moments in "Trucks," but they're wrapped around a pedestrian plot filled with characters who come from a WWWW casting call: whiners, wackos, wimps and wannabe's.
		They're all trapped by the renegade trucks in a diner in the small town of Lunar, Nevada, just miles down the street from the infamous Area 51.
		Well, they're very selective, because they knock out the phones and short wave radios, but allow the television to work whenever any expository dialogue is needed to advance the plot.

		At the six house fires it has responded to, the truck stood with its 500-horsepower motor idling as firefighters went about their work by taking the stairs or climbing hand ladders.
		Privately, some officials say that shortage, and the decline in serious fires, mean their costliest trucks get more use in the fire department parades that roll down Main Street almost every weekend from spring to fall than they do in emergencies.
		The newest trucks are so large they sometimes don't fit in the departments' own firehouses or down tight neighborhood streets.

		You would know it because they have built some of the cleanest trucks in the scene and they are so proud of their family ties that they actually run a Holly Boyz logo on their rear windows.
		Having had the opportunity to take a close look at all of the Holly Boyz trucks and getting the chance to talk with them on several different occasions it is pretty obvious to us that growing up with a father who was into customizing cars and trucks had a pretty strong influence on his sons.
		Trucks have always been popular because of their power potential but a V-10 Viper motor stuffed into a performance-prepared Dodge Ram pickup was, well, earth moving to say the least.

		A simple, descriptive statement on each spread introduces the trucks one at a time ("the first truck is large and heavy...the fourth truck twists and turns"); later spreads reveal the function of each truck.

	Pomona Swap Meet - Custom Classic Trucks Magazine
		In the first Farm Truck Fever (October '06), we ventured across California and into Nevada and Utah to see whether we could still find an old truck sitting in a field or front yard to haul home and create a masterpiece.
		In the morning they were asking $3,000, but at the prospect of hauling the battered truck 200 miles back to their Central California home, the price had dropped to $1,500-it's likely that anyone with $1,000 cash could have taken it home.
		While one might take this as an indication that the availability of old trucks is drying up, which is true to a point, there's no need to panic.

	Trucks (1997)- Moria The Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Review
		It is theorized that the trucks could have been activated by debris from a passing comet or military experiments at the nearby Area 51.
		Although at least it makes artistic sense – remaking a classic is an act of hubris, the assumption you can improve on it, the need to stamp new authorial signature over the material audiences hold in high regard, whereas the idea of perfecting a work that flopped the first time around makes much greater sense.
		The story was set around the location of the diner and the film for the greater part keeps it there, creating a tight bottleneck situation and suspensefully compounding it.
