Michelle Rodriguez has signed on to reprise her role of Letty in Universal Pictures' The Fast and the Furious 4. Also returning for the fourth film are first installment cast members Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster.

In the anticipated film, Brian (Walker) and Dominic (Diesel) team up to help the feds stop a heroin importer known as Braga. Brian – and ultimately Dominic – wins a place on the criminal's team, where he and his flashy Nissan plan to catch the man red-handed.

Rodriguez's credits include Girlfight, Resident Evil, ABC's "Lost," and James Cameron's upcoming Avatar.

The Fast and the Furious 4 hits theaters on June 5, 2009. [1]

With all of the prime real estate for Summer 2009 occupied, Warner Brothers has decided they'll just barge onto another studio's release date with Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. And isn't it interesting that they've targeted the Memorial Day launch of A Night at the Museum 2: Escape from the Smithsonian? That's a 20th Century Fox release. Maybe this'll halt that transparent Watchmen shakedown.

Though A Night at the Museum grossed $573 million worldwide, it was also the beneficiary of a weak holiday '06 slate. Put it up against stronger competition than Charlotte's Web and Eragon, and... it'd still make enough coin to justify a sequel. But a Memorial Day release? Memorial Day is for event films. It's for closers. And a franchise centered on Ben Stiller running away from giant museum displays feels a bit soft when compared to the red-meat appeal of The Terminator.

Then again, I'm sure Rambo III's distributor, TriStar, laughed off the challenge of Crocodile Dundee II back in 1988. But for some odd reason, the Terminator series is much more durable than Sylvester Stallone's lonely Vietnam vet saga; though the time travel conceit has been reconfigured to the point of incomprehensibility, people love watching the Connor family do battle with cyborgs. And if The Dark Knight does what Warner Brothers thinks it's going to do this summer, the presence of Christian Bale in Terminator Salvation will mean much, much more than it does right now.

Interestingly, the absence of Schwarzenegger is something of a plus for the McG-directed fourth installment: without a politically-motivated star, the production is free to shoot outside of California. Setting up shop in New Mexico for two months is going to save this production a bundle of money, and those savings will be funneled into the f/x budget. I don't know what WB is planning to spend on Terminator Salvation, but if they're gearing up for a second trilogy, that number has to be somewhere in the $200 million range.

A Night at the Museum 2 can't compete with this. It's too modest. And every kid over ten will kick and scream for Terminator (even though the popularity of The Sarah Connor Chronicles appears to be waning). Someone's going to blink. [2]

DVD Reviews

  • Stealth (film)
  • What is it about?: Henry, Ben, and Kara are hands down the world's best tactical fighter pilots. But a new member joins their team, a state-of-the-art stealth warplane. But once this stealth gets hit by a lightning, it goes up and never comes down, wrecking destruction in seconds across the globe, leaving the team with one no-fail mission: to stop it - not matter what.
  • The Movie: A great popcorn flick. I don't know why people didn't like this. It's very good although it has many bad reviews.
  • Bonus Features: Good for a 2-Disc set. Many bonus features of behind-the-scenes.
  • Disc #1:

-Music of Stealth: 24 minutes. Rob Cohen, the director, talks about how the film was scored and some of the non-orchestral music that was used. There is also a music video by Incubus. There's one suprising thing, no commentaries.

  • Disc #2:

-Harnessing Speed: 75 minutes. A 3-part, 75-minute documentary that takes the audience along for the production process from beginning to the end of post-production. Seemingly in place of a commentary. The director waxed philosophically on the meaning of the film, and the stars all make an appearance. This keeps you interested.

-Big Suck and Kara Falls: About 20 minutes each. Each of the documentaries discusses the obstacles involved with each of the sequences, and the stunt work and visual effects that went into the making of each.

-Welcome to Alaska and Escape From Alaska Explosion: Two short alternate angle sequences where you can compare the way a scene was story boarded to both the CGI mock up and the final film.

Overall: It's just another good popcorn flick. I reccomend you renting it first, since it had many bad review, and if you hated it, you made the right decision. If you liked it, you can buy it.
