2 Fast 2 Furious (DVD)
The sequel to the racing smash THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS may not have Vin Diesel as its star, but it burns with even higher octane than its predecessor, and a whole lot less extraneous drama. Back in action is undercover cop Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker) whose career has hit the skids since he let Diesel's character escape at the last film's end. He has sunk in status and is now a fringe dweller on the Miami street racing scene. A chance at redemption arrives when the fuzz recruits him to investigate Carter Vellone (Cole Hauser), a top-dog street racer with dangerous drug connections. O'Connor recruits his bickering childhood pal (model/singer Tyrese), now a nitro-burning ex-con from the Diesel school of toughness, to help him pull the bad guys to the curb with a tire-spinning vengeance.John Singleton (BOYZ IN THE HOOD, HIGHER LEARNING) directed, and obviously had great fun delivering, a straight-up racing thriller that's free of the message-bearing pressure of being a John Singleton film. 2 FAST fairly roars off the screen with comic book exuberance and a cheerful disregard for anything that gets in the way of its forward momentum. Best of all is Tyrese, a natural, laid-back star--he's not afraid to poke fun at his own shirtless model-boy image and amply compensates for the mighty Vin's absence. Rapper Ludacriss is also memorable as O'Connor's mechanic, as is model Devon Akoi as a cute female racer.

Kirstie Alley`s loving send-up of the absurdities of Hollywood stars the former CHEERS actress as a character similar to her real-life persona. A successful actress trying to deal with the vagaries of the industry, Kirstie searches for love and success in the often cruel and superficial milieu of the film industry. A hybrid of sitcom and reality TV, most of the series is unscripted, taking plotlines from Kirstie`s life and improvising the rest. Much of the show concerns itself with the negative image that has been built up around Kirstie`s weight gain, and the difficulties of finding work and acceptance in the industry when one is not a svelte size three. To stay sane, she is armed with her buoyant personality and quick wit, as well as a couple of allies: Eddie (Bryan Callen), Kirstie`s assistant with Hollywood dreams of his own, and Kevyn (Rachael Harris), Kirstie`s stylist who works hard to guide Kirstie in her quest to look good. Guest stars are also in plentiful supply, with a lineup that includes Kid Rock, Carmen Electra, Merv Griffin, Kevin Nealon, Mark Curry, John Travolta, Kelly Preston, and many more.
