Happy Holidays!!!

First and foremost, THANK YOU!!! Thank you for being around for the most hectic year in a long time. As the webmistress of this site, I have been trying to still be around. You all know I’m not much of a writer but I definitely have been reading. I am proud of who we are and how we have all grown together. We are still here and going strong!
Second, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!! I have to go find my Vin pic with him in a Santa hat. Maybe I will have sometime between work and wrapping and post a new one.
Third, it’s that time of year again to raise money to pay for URL’s *the links that take you to U.V.D.F.C.* and hosting *the message board,gallery,etc*. We are also now on Facebook and Twitter!
Every dollar donated is less out of my pocket. We have been ad free since the beginning (well at lease with me around.) With the activity of the last year, we are contenders of hosting ads. BUT I would like to avoid that if possible.
I will be collecting the donations again this year to pay for all the urls and hosting.
If you have a paypal, you can send donations to sophia576@hotmail.com
If by chance you’re not signed up for Paypal and still would like to help, send an email [mrsvincent69@hotmail.com ] to me, Sophia. I can help you pay by money order.
I’ve been a member since 2003 and I think I took over the website and forum in 2005, WOW time flies…I don’t think I’m going anywhere anytime soon.
Thank you again to everyone for still keeping this forum active and a keeping the peace and being respectful.
With lots of Love, Sophia (MrsVincent69)

SYNOPSIS
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker head up an all-star reunion of the explosive Fast franchise set in sultry Rio de Janeiro. Former cop Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker, Fast & Furious, Takers) and his girlfriend Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster, Fast & Furious, “Dallas”) bust Mia’s brother Dom (Vin Diesel, Fast & Furious, The Chronicles of Riddick) out of prison, blasting across South America to elude the authorities. Finding themselves backed into a corner in Brazil, they assemble an elite team of top racers to help pull off the one last job that could mean freedom for them all. But hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson, Faster, The Other Guys) is hot on their trail, and so is a corrupt and powerful businessman who wants them dead. When Hobbs and his strike force launch an all-out assault to capture the Torettos and their team, he can’t separate the good guys from the bad. Instead, he must rely on his instincts to corner his prey…before someone else runs them down first.

Exclusive : Riddick begins casting; character descriptions | Moviehole.
”Riddick” , writer/director David Twohy’s long-awaited second sequel to ”Pitch Black”, is finally headed before the cameras with Vin Diesel back under the shades as the intergalactic rebel rouser.
Heard today that casting has begun, with casting director Anne McCarthy, who cast “Pitch Black” and “Chronicles of Riddick” but also James Wan’s “Insidious”, bringing in actors to test for the supporting roles. I know one of the actors going in for the film – not too difficult to work out who – and everything he/she has been told so far is that it’s an exciting project with big-time potential.
Here’s who they’re scouting for at the moment :
Boss Johns
Santana
the sexy female merc Dahl
The smug commander Krone
All good parts. Fun stuff in there.
The script for the film, which is a more tighter, intimate and suspenseful ride than the previous film in the series (”Chronicles of Riddick”), might just be perfect – but I won’t be reviewing it, just giving you the heads up on what Twohy’s got in store for us and my take on it.
In a nutshell, the movie sees Riddick back on a barren planet, surrounded by monsters and mercenaries – both species who want him dead and vice versa.
Though there’s a couple of potential cameos from previous Riddick movie faves, it’s mostly fresh blood this time surrounding the big guy. And speaking of fresh, the character seems to have gotten a welcome, kick-ass overhaul….he’s more brutal, bad-ass and virile (as some may say) than he was in the previous films.
There’s a real sense of fun here. The dialogue is delicious and the characters are not only memorable, they’re a blast to be around – particularly our hero whose discovered both a charming sense of humour and personality along the way.
More so, ”Riddick” is a direct sequel to ”Pitch Black” – the events tie into that film. In much the same way the upcoming ”Dark Knight Rises” will tie up any loose threads and plot points from Batman Begins, Riddick will return to the mystery and monsters at the centre of ”Pitch Black.” That’s a good thing because, let’s admit it, the original rocked.. the sequel sucked.
Not to say there isn’t a link to the last Riddick adventure.
After a brief introduction in which were reunited with Riddick, surrounded by monsters, on a barren planet… we flash back to how Riddick ended up there.
We meet LORD MARSHAL Riddick. Nobody much likes that Riddick’s royalty now (he loves it; he gets to screw hot chicks) – as evident by the assassins that try and take him out at any and every opportunity – especially the necromancers, who are dead against the anointment of a furyan as a leader.
In exchange for the title, Riddick’s reluctant right-hand man and necro Vaako (Karl Urban’s character from the previous film; Urban will likely do it since the character is only in it for a short while) agrees to drop Riddick off at his home, Furya.
One thing leads to another and, much like the first film, Riddick finds himself stranded on a monster-infested planet. Instead of it leading to a rescue mission, his distress beacon catches the attention of a couple of merc teams (it would seem Vaako had dispatched them to kill Riddick while he’s isolated; not entirely true) who go after him with ill intentions.
One of the teams is lead by someone connected to an old enemy… someone from ”Pitch Black”.
*SPOILER*
Someone with the surname ‘Johns’.
Boss Johns and subordinate Santana ultimately get their hands on Riddick and shackle him up where they plan on torturing (Santana, with his machete) and killing him. But before then, Boss Johns wants answers – mostly, he wants to know what really happened to his son – William J. Johns (Cole Hauser in Pitch Black), who, with his prisoner Riddick, crash landed on an alien planet and (unlike Riddick) didn’t return. Knowing Boss Johns will never believe what happened to his son (indistinguishable monsters), Riddick snaps back with a cheeky retort involving felacio.
*END SPOILER *
And of course, that one works out in Riddick’s favour too – as does the rest of his run-ins with the mercenaries. If Riddick doesn’t get ‘em, the monsters do.
There’s not much of a mention of Furya (and no mention of the Underverse) but there’s a sequence involving a fellow countryman (Alpha Kid – He’s about 12-years-old and is, with his oversized armour and assault rifle, not unlike one of those young guerrilla soldiers in Somalia. Mother was murdered. His eyes light up like Riddick’s. He has some magical powers; thinking this could be young Riddick) and a flashback and mention of Radha Mitchell’s character.
We’ll let you know who snags the roles here, they should be locked in within the next few weeks, and continue to update you on the film’s progress; I think this is going to be a wildly entertaining ride kids.
Thanks to Val @ http://www.valdorado.com for the heads up!

Good news for a once bankrupt and destitute MGM, their first new production since hitting skid row is on the way. And, perhaps poetically, their new production teams them up with a man who is also on his way back up in the business. The Machine has signed Vin Diesel to star and produce. At the beginning of the 2000s many people saw Diesel as the next king of the action movie genre, but his career never really worked out that way, and Diesel saw his star power fade a bit over the past ten years. With the release and huge success of this year’s Fast Five, Diesel has another chance to make it to the top of the mountain. Could this be the smash hit that will finally anoint him as Hollywood royalty?
The Machine sounds like kind of a cross between The Terminator and The Iron Giant. Those are two things that I love, so if they can find a balance in tone, I would say that this project has some real potential. Diesel will play a government weapon that was built to look like a human being, and who has been deactivated for many years. As this film opens, the killer robot is found, reactivated, and befriended by a small child. Presumably a lot of bonding happens after that, then followed up by a big action sequence where the government comes to try and reacquire the machine. Kind of like E.T., only Diesel’s character will love steroids instead of Reese’s Pieces.
Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant, who also have producer’s credits, have written the script. You probably know them from cult television like The State and Reno 911, but what some people don’t know is that they’ve made a second career for themselves writing broad appeal family comedies like Herbie Fully Loaded and Night at the Museum. Say what you will about the perhaps cynical nature of going from progressive comedy to writing scripts that very clearly exist only to make money, but it’s stuff like this that keeps the movie industry in business. I’m betting Vin Diesel and MGM are hoping that the duo can do for them what they did for Ben Stiller. You know, make them tons of money. And for us, the film-going audience, let’s just hope that this thing ends up being better than Night at the Museum. [Deadline Blue Mound]
With “Fast Five” driving all over the box office in a franchise that people can’t seem to get enough of, the world appears to be an oyster for thick necked Vin Diesel. While his efforts outside of the car franchise haven’t quite hit the same peaks, generally, the man brings in the bucks and it looks like he’s ready to finally mould himself a career not unlike that of the similarly muscled and acting talent deficient Arnold Schwarzenegger.
THR reports that Diesel will produce and star in “The Machine” written by Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant of “The Pacifier” fame. In the kind of project that even Dwayne Johnson seems to have moved on from doing now, Diesel plays “a human-like machine created in secrecy by the Pentagon as the world’s first true ultimate weapon. Twenty years after the project was buried and decommissioned for reasons unknown, The Machine is discovered by a kid who befriends him. When the government learns it has been reactivated, the Machine must protect the family harboring him.” So essentially it sounds like a live action version of “The Iron Giant” and we’re sure that kid will melt Diesel’s tin heart.
Anyway, no director is attached but this is gearing up to shoot in the fall. So just hold on everybody, because “Fast Six” will have to wait for now. Diesel is looking to “Kindergarten Cop” his career and get of some those lucrative family dollars in the bank before returning to line read monosyllabically with Paul Walker.
Movie Review – “Fast Five” defines fun all over again | jacksonville.com.
A handful of hype – All bets are off when you get to number five in a series, as pretty much everything has been done and said the first four times. That is, unless you’re J.K. Rowling with the “Harry Potter” series, which will conclude this summer after seven successful installments, spread over eight films. Because let’s face it, no matter the genre or quality, after four films, we know what to expect which in many ways helped “Fast Five” go on to earn over $80 million in its first week at the box office. Having said that, I still was apprehensive at what would come from a fifth piece to a series that probably should have stopped after one.
