Movie Review - Fast & Furious 6 (2013)
14 minutes ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Fast & Furious 6, 2013.
Directed by Justin Lin.
Starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Luke Evans, Michelle Rodriguez, Elsa Pataky, Jordana Brewster and Gina Carano.
Synopsis:
The gang of car thieves and illegal street racers are brought out of retirement to face a global menace...and track down a long-lost member.
This sixth (yes sixth) entry in the ever-increasingly popular Fast & Furious series is too loud, too stupid, and too nonsensical to be judged as anything other than, well, a Fast & Furious film. It straddles the lines between fun and utter garbage from the first minute to the last, but somehow, through the belief in its own convictions, Fast & Furious 6 end up being just about more fun than dumb. It may be 51% against 49% but a good time is there to be had.
The old adage of “leave your brain at the door” to enjoy a big budget film is not one »

Fast 6’s Michelle Rodriguez on Coming Back From the Dead and the Women of the Franchise
1 hour ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
With a franchise as long-running as The Fast and the Furious, it’s not unusual to see characters come and go from film to film — unless they’ve been killed off. Michelle Rodriguez’s character, Letty Ortiz, seemingly perished at the end of the series’ fourth installment, but that didn't stop the Fast & Furious 6 team from bringing her back from beyond the veil. Vulture recently got on the phone with the actress, who’s also appeared in Avatar and on Lost, to talk about what it’s like to be resurrected, why she won't sing karaoke with Vin Diesel, and the women of the franchise.When you first took on the role of Letty, did you imagine the series turning into something so huge?Hell, no. Are you kidding me? First one, I just couldn’t believe there was going to be a movie that had this kind of stuff happening. »

Why The 'Fast & Furious' Director Is Leaving The Franchise
5 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
It's hard to ignore when "Fast & Furious 6" director Justin Lin compares his latest installment of the hugely successful franchise to a Robert Altman movie -- especially since Altman wasn't exactly known for scenes featuring tanks haphazardly steamrolling over oncoming traffic.
Ahead is a fairly comprehensive look at the outline of the last four "Fast & Furious" movies from the mind of the films' director, Justin Lin. (Lin did not direct the first two installments.) He transformed a series that didn't even bring back its own original stars (except for a cameo by Vin Diesel) for Lin's first installment, "Tokyo Drift," into the mega-blockbuster it is today.
And "Fast & Furious 6" will be Lin's last installment (well, maybe). He explains why.
With these last couple of installments, and some of the things that I've witnessed in these movies, I've left the theater shaking my head thinking, Well, Justin Lin has done it again. »

Fast & Furious 6 Review: An Incredibly Dumb Action Behemoth
9 hours ago | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
At one critical point in Fast & Furious 6, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, caught in a kind of bizarro world walk and talk (think The West Wing) and discussing the movie’s criminal syndicate, tells Mma fighter Gina Carano: “I want to come down on them like the walls of Jericho.” If the idea of that moment occurring prompts a slight grin to form on your face, chances are that the sixth entry in this newly revitalised car crash franchise will bring you a relative amount of joy. Just make sure you leave your Iq at the door.
Fast & Furious 6 is, without a doubt, one of the dumbest movies I’ve ever seen. The set-pieces, straight from a comic book, are absurd in every conceivable way: loud, rendered with (sometimes incomprehensible) CGI, they crash all over the screen in explosions of sparks and scratched metallic paint-jobs. The jokes, »

Liam Hemsworth Takes To The Skies In Relativity Media's Aurora Rising
20 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Like many acting families before them, the three Hemsworth brothers are a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood, each carrying their weight in films and TV shows of varying genres (okay, two more so than the other one). And baby brother Liam.s next film is perfectly fitting for a young Australian movie star. Don.t call him Maverick, but Hemsworth is set to play a fighter pilot for Relativity Media.s Aurora Rising, according to Deadline. The screenplay was written by Christian Gudegast, whose last script was 2003.s Vin Diesel-led action flickA Man Apart for F. Gary Gray, which he co-wrote with Paul Scheuring. No director is attached to the new film yet. Proving their confidence in both men.s abilities, this is Relativity Media.s second project with both Hemsworth and Gudegast. In August, they.ll be releasing Robert Luketic.s corporate thriller Paranoia which will »
Liam Hemsworth Finds Aurora Rising

Thanks to the success of The Hunger Games in particular, Liam Hemsworth has plenty of offers coming in. He’s just taken on the role of a fighter pilot in action adventure pic Aurora Rising.From the sounds of it, this could be a Top Gun-style role for the Aussie actor, because he’ll be playing a surfer-turned-ace fighter pilot who becomes embroiled in a messy combat mission.In the aftermath of that opening skirmish, he’s recruited to be part of an elite team testing a new generation of aircraft: planes that will come in handy, since there’s a new international conflict just on the horizon. And yes, we're also having flashbacks to Stealth but we're sure this will be very different.Relativity Media is backing this one, and has a script in hand from Christian Gudegast, who wrote Vin Diesel thriller A Man Apart.

Review - 'Fast & Furious 6' Is… Well… Loud and Crazy (and That’s Mostly A Good Thing)
20 May 2013 12:15 PM, PDT | ShadowAndAct | See recent ShadowAndAct news »
"The Fast and the Furious" series is one of the few where I have little problem shutting my brain off for two hours. It’s at least based in some sort of reality, there are no superheroes, although Vin Diesel can certainly withstand a lot of pain, and the supernatural isn’t a possibility. At this point, it’s also probably the longest-running and most expensive soap opera ever released theatrically. I wonder if something like “Sons of Anarchy” (which is decidedly darker material) would exist on television without it. The interesting thing about the series is that no matter how outlandish it gets, it stays firmly rooted in its theme of family above all else. The movies aren’t brilliant from a »

Why 'Fast and Furious 6' Is Just As Cool As 'The Avengers'
20 May 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Nobody saw Fast & Furious 6 coming. Nobody. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar and their pants are a volcano of fire. Even at their most optimistic, not even the earliest Vin Diesel fan club presidents nor the bean counters at Universal could have accurately predicted that 2001's little movie about a cop infiltrating a gang of street racers would have not only turned into a six-film franchise (with a seventh on the way), but that its sixth film would become one of the most ludicrous (and inevitably lucrative) tentpole movies in a summer that has a new Star Trek, a new Iron Man, and a new Superman movie. Having seen Furious Six (as the film's title card calls it), I can confirm that it's as ridiculously entertaining as it is ridiculously disrespectful of...

It’s time to put the pedal to the metal as the Fast & Furious 6 races into Cineplex theatres this week. We’re shifting into overdrive and coming up with as many car puns, um, I mean quiz questions as we can in our movie quiz this week where we are talking cars, car movies, and chase sequences.

Yup, that’s a thing. You know what else is a thing? Returning from the dead! Michelle Rodriguez’s Letty who we all though had bit the dust is back…or is this just an elaborate mind game? »

All the road rage: Fast & Furious 6 taps a modern vein
20 May 2013 6:40 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Without superheroes or aliens, the F&F franchise has made speed, laced with rage, one of film's most beloved intoxicants
The reason for the burgeoning success of the Fast & Furious films eludes some people. This apparently humdrum franchise manages without superheroes, intergalactic conflict, aliens, zombies, vampires or 3D. What has it got? Perhaps the clue's in the title. Speed and rage have come to form an alluring combination.
Speed, said Aldous Huxley, "provides the one genuinely modern pleasure." Until the 1820s, no one had travelled faster than a galloping horse; by the 1840s, trains were zipping along at 70mph. Speed began to redefine human life, as the acceleration of output yielded previously unimaginable benefits. The Gpo documentary Night Mail, with its pulsing pistons, captured the exaltation this engendered. But if the hastening tempo of the railway age brought collective liberation, it imposed a new tyranny on the individual.

Vin Diesel: Pressure to be In Shape Is Worse for Men
18 May 2013 11:59 PM, PDT | TooFab | See recent TooFab news »
It's hard to be a curvier woman in Hollywood ... but, according to Vin Diesel, the pressure to be in shape is even worse for men.The "Fast & Furious 6" star opens up about body image in the latest issue of Men's Fitness (watch video from the photo shoot above), where he also addresses how his muscular frame has affected the movies he's been offered."Being a physical presence will rule you out of a lot of roles," Diesel tells the mag. "I couldn’t have done [a movie like] 'Ferris Bueller’s Day Off' with that physical presence. But I like it as part of me; it’s part of what I represent, and I think if Humphrey Bogart were around today he’d be a lot bigger.""Hollywood is more concerned about its male actors being in shape than its female actors," he continues.Sure, we like it when our leading men have glistening six-pack abs, »

Star Trek Into Darkness weekend box office: Downright disappointing domestic debut (photo: Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness) J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness, featuring Chris Pine as Captain Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, and Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan, took in an estimated $22 million at 3,668 North American venues on Friday, according to studio figures found at Box Office Mojo.
