“Lost” and “Fast and Furious” star Michelle Rodriguez just dropped this photo on her twitter and couldn’t resist sharing it here.
These are the kind of women I wouldn’t mind dating at all. Women with great bodies and pretty faces. I think I have what it takes to date beautiful chicks like her.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Michelle. Been watching her films and looked after her for a long time now.

I just finished watching the movie, “Girlfight” that stars Michelle Rodriguez. I was very curious to see it because I am a huge fan of her acting and her films. Plus, she’s a gorgeous looking woman as well!!! I loved her in the show, “Lost”, and wanted to see more Michelle. Just rented the movie, “Gilfight”, from Netflix so here is a brief review.
Michelle was pretty young at the time this movie came out. It is her film debut, the film that made her a mainstream actress. She plays a tough girl type of character in high school, where she got into too many fights with other girls. Her brother is training as a boxer at a local boxing gym, so she takes a visit there. While there, she becomes obsessed with boxing and wanted to become a fighter herself. She gets trained there and she is forced to fight against men because there was no women’s boxing where they were. She was the only female fighter.
I was very surprised by this movie. I thought it was a real good one. Even though her character, Diana Guzman is fictional, she felt real and believable. It felt like a biopic film of a real life fighter when it isn’t. That’s how good this movie is. Michelle was really built and jacked back then, too, wow, the muscles on her in this movie. I know this is an older movie, it was released in 2000, but I’m just trying to see more of her work. I also think this is one of the best boxing movies.
It certainly isn’t better than “Rocky” and “The Fighter” but it’s certainly almost up there. I just enjoy watching boxing films. I think there needs to be more boxing movies based on women fighting. Even though the sport of professional boxing is no longer popular anymore, boxing movies is still going strong since “The Fighter” won a lot of awards and was pretty successful in the box office.
Back to “Gilfight”, Michelle plays a lot of tough girl characters in her career, but she’s a real badass in this flick. While she is pretty mean in this movie, she does have heart. Once you start the film, it’ll keep you watching. Michelle Rodriguez is a popular actress and people say she got all the recognition for this movie that she’s known for, now I can see why. This is obviously her best role. She also got recognized for her work in “Lost” and “The Fast & The Furious” series, but it’s this film here, “Girlfight” that made her recognizable.
Check it out if you haven’t seen it yet. I enjoyed the film.

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)
