In honour of the soon-to-be $70 million-grossing Fast and Furious, last week we asked you to pick your favourite movie from the relatively painful filmography of Mr. Vin Diesel. The results from said poll placed Pitch Black at the top by a fairly large margin, followed by The Fast and the Furious and The Chronicles of Riddick. It's interesting that his older films generally seem to rank higher than the new ones (Babylon A.D. being dead last). What do you think, did Vin Diesel squander his early opportunities, and now that Fast and Furious has revitalized his career, do you see him doing the same thing all over again? 1. Pitch Black -- 41.1% 2. The Fast and the Furious -- 13.9% 3. The Chronicles of Riddick -- 13% 4. Boiler Room -- 8.7% 5. xXx -- 6.1% 6. Find Me Guilty -- 5.6% 7. A Man Apart -- 4.3% 7. The Pacifier -- 4.3% 9. Knockaround Guys -- 2.2% 10. Babylon A.D. -- 0.9% »

You’ve seen the bit in all the TV ads and all the trailers: Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez drive their souped-up street-racing hot rod under a burning gas tanker that’s flipping through the air and coming right at them. It’s a preposterous scenario, but a damned cinematically exciting one, and it’s the capper of the sequence that opens Fast & Furious. Diesel’s Dom and Rodriguez’s Letty are now chillin’ in the Dominican Republic and hijacking gas tanker trucks off the lonely Caribbean highways for fun and profit... mostly for fun, one comes to understand. It’s all very Mad Max, and that’s gotta be cool, right? And as director Justin Lin presents it, it’s terribly awesome and original, as an action sequence, if as thoroughly antisocial as the Furious movies have always been. It bodes well for Lin as a director of action »

Variety reports that actor Ron Silver died Sunday at the age of 62 following a two-year battle with esophageal cancer. Silver is an Emmy nominee for his recurring role on “The West Wing” and has a long history of balancing acting with left-leaning social and political causes.

Silver’s big-screen credits include Ali, Reversal of Fortune, Enemies: A Love Story, Silkwood, Semi-Tough and most recently The Ten and Find Me Guilty.

Vin Diesel evokes many mixed love and hate emotions from his viewers. Best known for his roles in “Pitch Black” and “The Fast and the Furious” franchise of films, Diesel also displayed great versatility in the 2005 dramedy “Find Me Guilty.” You’re either a big fan or you simply can’t stand the over-bearing macho man figure. He may not be around for forever, but it’s fun right now. Diesel stars as Toorop, a ruthless mercenary who’s living a hellish existence in a decimated Eastern Europe. It’s the way of the world now in a future not far from today; most areas are plagued with war and chaos. »
