Vin Diesel and Paul Walker's Fast and Furious doesn't hit theaters until Friday, but we've had a look and wrote a review.
See if it's worth your time or if you should just rent Slumdog Millionaire (available on DVD tomorrow).

Wow, what a game! The Cardinals came back and took the lead 23-20 with only 2 mins 30 on the clock. Riveting last minute play got the ball back in the hands of the Steelers who took it down to the 7 and with only 43 seconds left, they made a TD and extra point to take the lead back 27-23. Now that Arizona has the ball back they have 22 seconds to get down the field.
What's left of the trailers you ask? They've kinda petered out as the game has come to a close, but be sure and scroll down to see all the ones we've blogged about: G.I. Joe, Transformers, Angels & Demons, Land of the Lost, Star Trek, Monsters vs. Aliens, Up, The Year One and Race to Witch Mountain.
15 Seconds left...
But there is another one that aired earlier that I skipped over simply because it has been shown before -- on TV prior to the game. Still its fairly new, so I'll end with it. It's the next Fast and Furious franchise film and you can see the newest trailer below.
And... The Cardinals couldn't pull it out in time. Steelers win 27-23. Game over. Now go see a movie.

In the world of high-stakes street racing, timing is everything. And so far, we'd have to say the timing of Fast & Furious is a little off. As we already noted yesterday, there's an awful lot of running in the new trailer. Obviously, the movie was filmed when gas was four bucks a gallon, and with Vin Diesel no longer the surefire box office draw he once was, well, you gotta economize, right? So, more foot chases, fewer car chases. Of course, gas prices have since calmed a bit, and had the franchise's fourth installment been ready to roll a month ago, when gas was gloriously cheap, audiences would have no doubt flocked to theaters to celebrate the return of rival petro-holics Dom Toretto and Brian O'Conner.
Unfortunately, the movie's editors weren't working fast and furious enough, and now that gas is topping two bucks a gallon again, mindless fuel consumption no longer seems so sexy. Luckily, the movie has one alternative energy source working in its favor: Maxim cover model and former fitness instructor in the Israeli Defense Forces, Gal Gadot. At a reported 94 lbs., the 5' 11" beauty may not pack the obvious wallop of, say, her more sturdily built Fast & Furious co-star Michelle Rodriguez. But if you like your Hollywood bombshells as slim and tapered as a Tomahawk warhead, Gadot may qualify as your new dream gal. We can't say for certain though, because even after multiple viewings of the new new trailer, we're not sure if she appears in it or not. Maybe she's just standing sideways.

Today Yahoo Movies premiered the new theatrical trailer for Fast & Furious. The fourth chapter of the blockbuster street-racing action franchise (we're still lobbying for it to be renamed Fast & Fourious) reunites original castmembers Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jordana Brewster for a naked cash-grab an action-packed thrill-ride stretching from Los Angeles to Mexico and back. Ironically, the latest trailer features more running than driving, opening with a lengthy chase on foot atop the rooftops of downtown L.A. Who knows -- maybe this lastest Fast/Furious flick is more eco-conscious than its predecessors.

Hard to believe it's been almost eight years since Vin Diesel and Paul Walker sped into the hearts of audiences all over the world, but they're back to remind everyone of the magic and MTV has the exclusive poster to the fourth installment.
Noticeably absent is Lucas Black, star of The Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift, and for those confused, worry not: Fast & Furious takes place before Tokyo Drift and after 2 Fast 2 Furious, so all the intricate plot lines from Tokyo Drift won't get in the way of Fast & Furious which sees Diesel and Walker joining forces to bring down a common enemy.
