Cannonball Run Actor Dom DeLuise Dies at 75
Dom DeLuise, the comical actor known in the automotive enthusiast community as the big funny guy, starring in “The Cannonball Run” movie alongside of Burt Reynolds, died today at the age of 75.
“I was thinking about this the other day,” Reynolds said in a statement released to TVGuide.com. ”As you get older, and start to lose people you love, you think about it more, and I was dreading this moment. Dom always made you feel better when he was around and there will never be another like him. I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone. I will miss him very much.”
He will surely be missed!
Ferrari F430 Crashed at Nicholas Cage’s Newest Movie Set – Video
A Ferrari F430 was wrecked on the set of “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”, Nicholas Cage’s newest movie. In the event, two pedestrians were injured. We know many of Nicholas Cage’s movies are known for having fast cars in them and “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” is yet another one. Luckily, Cage was not in this car during the accident. Wonder if the stunt driver had traction control on at the time of the accident?

Fast and Furious Takes Home Box Office Records Over the Weekend
This morning I wake up to the news reporting that “Fast and Furious” has shattered box office records bringing in an estimated $72.5 million over the weekend holding the number 1 movie spot. This is farfetched if you consider what critics predicted for the 4th installment of the Fast and the Furious franchise of movies.
I would actually have to admit that this may have been the best Fast and Furious movie out of the other 3 because it actually had a decent plot.

Fast and Furious Movie Review (Movie Reviewed) – New Model Original Parts – Is It a Good or Bad Movie?

Some have viewed the premier of the newest Fast and Furious movie named, Duh, “Fast and Furious” including ME! Staring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster… this new movie brings about some extra Drama and a nicely put together plot. Some may criticize what I have to say but I can honestly say after getting past the CGI effects and few silly lines, it is a decent movie. I give it 3 and a half stars out of 5. You have lots of serious cars that actually look nice. This time whoever picked out the cars did a great job, by far the best out of all of Fast and Furious movies. I do have a bone to pick with the infamous BMW 5 series said to be an M5 but is clearly a 540i or 528i. I happen to know several friends with BMW’s and they all had a giggle along with me when we watched the M5… ahhhh 5-series drive across the big screen.
Otherwise I just love the crazy unrealistic car moves and the ending leaving an opening to additional installments to the fast and furious to come.
Matt Farah, oddly enough, pretty much goes along with my review as I searched the net finding others who have seen the premier to Fast and Furious.
Guys, all I have to say is… go see this movie if you are a gear-head or what we like to call everyone who visits this site.. Automotive Addicts! This one ranks up with the original part one “The Fast and The Furious” with more realistic parts and just a better movie over-all. I want to get everyone’s opinion on this movie. Post your comments now if you plan on seeing it on opening day or right after.
Fast and Furious opens April 3rd and 4th.

General Motors has just released an exclusive video of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, Directed by Michael Bay, showcasing the Autobots – including the new Chevy Camaro, Volt, Beat, Trax and the Corvette Centennial Concept (Corvette Stingray). This should be a pretty good movie!
I have to admit, the video below looks like a futuristic Commercial for General Motors if you ask me, but who am I do judge. GM, do your thing! Whatever works for you I support you because it is an American brand and we all know we need to support our American brands to get this economy jump started again. Maybe “Jolt” or aka the Chevy Volt in Transformers 2 can help JUMP-START it for us?!?!?
