Movie Review: “Fast Five” Starring Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Ask any art lover, and they’ll be able to give you a solid critique between classic art, and pop art. Both have their merits, but pop art is considered by a lot to contain less value (because if everyone loves it, it can’t be unique right?).  Fast Five is the cinematic version of pop art, […]

First “Fast Five” Trailer Starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Dwayne Johnson

Posted: December 15, 2010 at 9:58 am   /   Film, Local, Movie Trailers

I think the Fast and Furious franchise is a lot of fun.  This trailer looks like it is giving fans more of the same.  Fast cars.  Ridiculous stunts.  And bad acting.  It’s nice to have so many actors from the past films return, while also adding the awesomeness of Dwayne Johnson.  Do I think the […]

First Pic of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson with Vin Diesel in “Fast Five”

I have actually been a fan of all of the Fast and Furious films.  Yes, the acting is bad.  And the stories are predictable.  And they have steadily gotten worse.  But I think they are a ton of fun.  Dwayne Johnson seems like a perfect fit for this world, and I was pumped to see […]

Faster

Posted: November 23, 2010 at 11:30 pm   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

“We create our heaven and hell.” Perhaps the most sagacious words ever uttered by a heroin addict shooting up in her bathroom.

“Faster” HD Red Band Trailer Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Billy Bob Thornton

Posted: October 25, 2010 at 3:30 pm   /   Local, Movie Trailers

I mentioned in my review for The Tooth Fairy last year that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has great charisma, and has the potential to be a top tier action star, but his choices are currently hindering him. All evidence points to the fact that someone, either him or his team, have noticed his progression away […]
