FAST & FURIOUS – Reviewed by David
Jokingly dubbed 4Fast 4Furious by a co-worker of mine, the flashy Fast & Furious is indeed the fourth in the series of testosterone-fueled action flicks featuring hot cars, hot women and no logic whatsoever.

Zack Snyder‘s newest comic book adaptation of the Watchmen had me holding my breath as I feared for the worst after his short and inconsistent body of previous work.
