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 […]

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 […]

Posted: February 4, 2010 at 12:35 pm   /   Local, Movie News

This is really no surprise when you look at it. Fast & Furious was Universal’s top grosser last year, with a worldwide gross of  $343 million.  Add on top of that the nearly stagnant careers of its stars, Paul Walker and Vin Diesel, it was almost a guarantee that the film would be back for […]
