Review of 2 Fast 2 Furious, starring Paul Walker
MediaGab - 2 Fast 2 Furious (Full Screen Edition): "Wow! This movie has been getting real mixed reviews .... personally, I am a huge Vin Diesel fan - the man rocks! ... and whilst I love the man, and I am disappointed he wasn't in this sequel, I also thought 2Fast 2Furious was a damn good movie.
I thought the storyline was pretty cool actually, people need to take the 'tone' of the movie into account ..... this is about cars, fast cars, hot women, buff men, and essentially tells us what happens to Brian O'Connor (Paul walkers character) after the 'open' ending of the fast and the furious! Tyrese isn't Vin Diesel but then I don't think they tried to make out that he was! There are absolutely superb action shots and plenty of movement in the plot to make it kick ass.
Ummmmmm.... make sure you check out the special features section, cause there is a couple of short films to get you to where we start the movie."

Review of "Noel", with Paul Walker
Noel Feature Story: "'Noel' features a sterling cast including: Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Alan Arkin, Penelope Cruz, Paul Walker and Marcus Thomas. It was also the directorial debut of actor Chazz Palminteri.
Set on Christmas Eve in New York City, 'Noel' tells the story of a group of strangers whose lives are filled with the struggles of family life and personal issues eating away at them. Rose (Susan Sarandon), Nina (Penelope Cruz), Mike (Paul Walker), Artie (Alan Arkin), Jules (Marcus Thomas) and Charlie (Robin Williams) each have difficult and painful realities facing them. But this Christmas Eve, their lives will change. Answers will be found through those fears, and though unusual acts of the unexplainable. Sadness too, will begin to step away as hope, healing and love takes its place.
I wholeheartedly enjoyed 'Noel' for the beautiful and moving performances of the ensemble cast, and for the powerful direction, which captured those troubled and heartfelt emotions. "
