The more I see this trailer, the more it makes me want to see it. It’s a movie about mixed martial arts UFC style but it’s not about doing it profesionally, it’s about getting paid for street fighting and such. Check it out, I think I’m going to go see this.

Starring: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster
Directed by: Justin Lin
So this afternoon, I decided to go to the mall to do a little fun shopping and go check out a movie. I decided to see the new, “Fast and Furious” just for the hell of it. I wasn’t really that excited about it, I decided to check it out just to make time fly by.
For shopping, I picked up Neil Young’s “Fork in the Road” and the Eagles of Death Metal, “Heart On” music albums. I also picked up the movie, “The Reader” on DVD, the drama film that stars Kate Winslet that I’ve been wanting to see for a long time. Glad I finally bought, “The Reader”, I will review my thoughts on that film too. I also went to Dick’s Sporting Goods to get a little something to add to my workout equipment that I’m starting up.
Now on to the “Fast and Furious” review:
Plot/synopsis: Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are back in the leading role, reuniting with all the cast members from the earlier “Fast and the Furious” movies. Paul’s character, Brian O’ Connor is now an FBI agent which his mission to hunt down a psycho drug lord, named Arturo Braga. While investigating the murder of their friend Letty (Michelle Rodriguez who is in the film very briefly), Dominic’s investigation led to the same information which forced Dominic and Brian to get into these car races against these gang members to fight war against drugs in their city.
Although I am not much of a “Fast and the Furious” fan, I only loved the first one. The first one was great, but the rest of them, in my opinion, were pretty bad. I was totally surprised on “Fast and Furious 4”. This one was actually extremely fun and quite a ride. The car races in this film were pretty insane. The script was good and the acting of Vinny and Paul were actually decent. It’s nice to see them back together again.
I’m glad that Vinny had a change of heart with sequels, because I remember in the past, he used to never want to do sequels of his own movies and it’s good to see him change his mind.
I thought the movie was very well made, I wasn’t bored. I was entertained all the way through. Edge of your seat action, big time. There is a sequel for “Fast and Furious” coming, I heard that Paul and Vinny are down in coming back for the next one too. I’m sure the next one will be just as good. I thought this was a pretty bad ass film. Go check it out!
Score for “Fast and Furious” = *** (3 stars as in good)

Actor Michael Sheen has been casted in “Twilight Saga: New Moon”. He will play the role of Aro, the leader of the vampire Italy group, the Volturi. Aro is an older character, not a tween, so they needed an older actor to fit the character. You would see Michael Sheen in such movies as, the “Underworld” trilogy, “Frost/Nixon”, “The Queen”, “Blood Diamond”, “The Four Feathers”, etc. No, he is no relation to Martin Sheen, Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez. Michael Sheen is from a different family, he was born in Wales.

Well, that was quick. Rob Zombie finishes filming his next Halloween sequel, “H2”. He explains, this is even more brutal and intense. It is not a remake of “Halloween II”, it is completely Rob Zombie’s story, an original. He explains that Michael Myers does not wear the mask throughout most of the movie, I’ll imagine Michael picks up the mask toward the end of the film.
The cast from the first one is back with some new additions such as Margot Kidder and “Weird Al” Yankovic. “H2” is slated for a release date, August 28th this summer.

Actors Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson once teamed up for Steven Spielberg’s “Schindler’s List”, they are reuniting to star in the, “Clash of the Titans” remake. Liam is set to play Zues, and Ralph is set to play Hades, who are the rulers of the Underworld.
I think Liam will still do the movie. I don’t see him pulling out. If he were to pull out of the film, he would have done so a long time ago, but he hasn’t yet. So that’s a good sign that he may still do the film.

Twentieth Century Fox are not the only ones upset over the “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” leak…even Hugh Jackman himself is pissed about it. Jackman has some harsh words to say about it and yes, he sounds pissed!
I can’ t blame the guy. He’s the guy that starred the leading role in, he seems pretty excited and psyched about the film, but the leaker ruined it for all of us.
Those that think it’s okay to steal a movie before release date and put it online, needs a reality check too.

He also revealed the news that Terry will be filming in the same scene with Arnold for Stallone’s new movie, “The Expendables”, filming right now. Terry and Arnold already worked together in the sci fi action adventure, “The 6th Day”.
