So… I suppose we can expect a show-down between the two. No surprise I guess… even though I wasn’t planning on seeing the film; that hasn’t changed. However, I think I’d go with The Rock over The Diesel if I were putting money on this fight. Fast Five is in theaters April 29th.
May 6th is less than a month away… given all that I’ve seen of this film thus far, and I’ve seen a bit, given all the clips and images the studio has released in the last month or so, I’m still just not sold on it. I’m ambivalent… something just seems off to me; but [...]

This is one film I’ve been curious about since it was first announced. It’s supposed to be Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s coming out party. Mario Van Peebles directed the film, titled, Things Fall Apart – a project and performance that Mr Jackson himself has said will surprise his fans and doubters! Fiddy lost 54 pounds [...]
