You’ve got to give Justin Lin (Fast Five) some credit — he’s damn faithful to the ones who made him. First he dropped out of the Highlander reboot and now he’s backed out of the next “Terminator” installment to work on the sixth “Fast and Furious” film.
From the school of Judd Apatow, Player Affinity’s Recommendation of the Week is surprise comedy hitBridesmaids, which pleased audiences the world over. It is now set to be a hit on DVD and Blu-ray, offering film fans deleted and extend scenes, behind the scenes documentaries and commentaries.
