Fast and the Furious

Pros: hotties and the music
Cons: could have been better acting

Where oh where do I begin with the movie The Fast and the Furious? When I first saw the trailer a couple of months ago the hunk aka Brian (Paul Walker) and his baby blues drew me in. I knew that I had to see this movie as soon as it was...

Pros: Fast cars
Cons: weak plot, but that doesn't matter

Call it a momentary lapse of reason, if you will, but after having bought a new 3 50Z last month we have been bombarded by folks tellin us we had to see 2 Fast 2Furious. Being ...

Pros: Races, nice cars
Cons: It asks us to suspend disbelief a few to many times

The Fast and The Furious really is a series of races and speeding through the streets centered on a plot. It is a fun movie to attend, but I do have a few complaints.

The film centers on an undercover policeman, Brian, (Paul Walker) who has...

Pros: Elvis would’ve included catchy dance numbers.
Cons: He said “sprocket” not “socket”.

Back when is was in jail, I mean, back when I was in juvey, wait, back when I was a kid, nothing could compare with going to the Drive-In. Sparklers, pop-corn, neighbor kids, sodas, pajamas… it was all good. Back then, we (my folks/neighbor...

Pros: Vin Diesel, nice cars
Cons: Everything except the above

"The Fast And The Furious" is a step up from last year's summer car movie, "Gone In 60 Seconds." However, don't consider this an endorsement of either movie. Neither movie has people with personality, save for the character Vin Diesel ("Saving Private...

Pros: Vin Diesel, Vin Diesel, Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez
Cons: the blond guy, the lack of story

This is one movie that makes me glad I live across the continent from California. The prospects of toodling out in the road for dogfood at midnight (which I do frequently) would be taking on an element of risk I'm not prepared to have to face. Street...

Pros: Great young cast, pretty decent story
Cons: Not too intellectually stimulating

I have found a new director to admire, and his name is Rob Cohen. His previous films include the underrated Daylight (starring Stallone), Dragonheart, and most recently, The Skulls. His latest film, The Fast & The Furious is a thrill ride from...

Pros: fast cars, fast women, VIN "iron giant" Diesel!
Cons: would you actually want to know any of these characters?

The Fast and the Furious is a film that is being marketed toward white-trash teenagers and motor-heads, if there's any difference between the two. It's the type of film car fanatics will absolutely cream their pants over. This is the film...

Pros: there is some eye candy, but even that seems to suck
Cons: devoid of anything good

LCD = Lowest Common Denominator; the lowest common number (usually other than 1, but not always) by which a group of other numbers are each divisible by.

Recently, my roommate fell sick to some unnamed illness (I think it was the flu,...

Pros: Cars, Cars, Cars...and of course, the women. FUN!
Cons: No Plot, No Dialogue, No Acting.

Rated PG-13
(for violence, sexual content, and language)

Directed by Rob Cohen

Paul Walker - Brian
Vin Diesel - Dominic

my rating: C+

The movie is called “The Fast and the Furious”. As you...

Pros: Deftly balanced direction and great stunts.
Cons: When the cops get together and discuss the case, go for popcorn.

THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS is a throwback movie to a time when some movies were like a theme park for your brain. You don't have to think too much; you just numbly accept the shallow and unreal plotline and the thin acting but your adrelaline starts...

Pros: Cool looking cars who benefit from not having to act.
Cons: Two worse: the acting and the story. Many more, but limited to 15 words.

Anyone who calls this the “best movie of the year” is well over due for a tune-up. Yes, granted, the movie is littered with fast cars, hot babes, a few cool action sequences, and some pumped up music. Enough, in fact – that even I could just a teeny...

Pros: I laughed a lot.
Cons: I don't think that's what the director intended.

Anyone remember Point Break? I haven't watched it, fully, but I know the main plot. It goes like this. Some young newbie in the FBI is assigned to go undercover to infiltrate a bang of skydiving bank robbers. This man is Johnny Utah, and he is played...

Pros: An Adrenaline Rush, Fantastic Cars, Action-Packed
Cons: Weak Dialogue, Implausible At Times, Quasi - Interesting - Yet - Weak - Plot

I'm not going to lie to you here - even though I was assuming cheesy characters, a choppy plot and awful dialogue, I was still dying to see this flick from the second I saw it's trailer almost two months ago. The import "rice rocket" car scene is one...

Pros: Awesome stunt driving
Cons: Vacuous, cliche-filled script, stereotypical characters and predictable plot

There's a street racing subculture, a tribal alternative to gang membership, that permeates some industrial communities around the country. Couple that with the story of an undercover cop (Paul Walker) who infiltrates a drag-racing posse, headed by...
