Why You Should Rethink The Fast & Furious FranchiseKatey, I was most surprised to find that the second trailer to completely blow me away (after the Iron Man 3 spot, which was fantastic) was the trailer for Fast and the Furious 6. That series has completely shifted gears -- pun intended -- from the dregs of Tokyo Drift and the bland fourth installment. Fast Five put it back on the right track, and I'm not ashamed to say that I'm genuinely looking forward to a F&F sequel. Are you with me?...by Katey Rich and Sean O'Connell | published: 2013-02-04 08:44:09comments

Fast Five Leads List Of 2011's Most Pirated MoviesJustin Lin’s lucrative sequel, Fast Five, roared to a $626.1 million worldwide take, making it the highest-grossing film in the franchise’s history.

Fast Five Amps Up For DVD Release With Cast InterviewsUniversal Home Entertainment is currently readying for an October release of Fast Five.

Second Poster For Fast Five Isn't Nearly As Exciting As The FirstBack in February the first poster for Fast Five debuted. Surprisingly filled with a lot of negative space with all of the action happening at the bottom, I thought it was a pretty cool poster, particularly because it was flashy without being stupid and didn't contain any dumb floating heads. The second time around they've kept the negative space idea, but removed what was really interesting....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-03-17 17:33:10comments
