Spinning Into Butter

B
Lowest Recommended Age:Middle School
MPAA Rating:Rated R for language
Movie Release Date:March 27, 2009

Lowest Recommended Age:Adult
MPAA Rating:Rated R for strong sexual content, graphic nudity and language
Movie Release Date:May 30, 2008
DVD Release Date:September 23, 2008

Jen Chaney Ranks the "Fast and Furious" Movies
Just in time for the release of the sixth in the series of car chase extravaganzas that began with "The Fast and the Furious" is Esquire's smart and funny assessment of installments 1-6 from my friend Jen Chaney. It’s tempting to lump all of the Fast and the Furious movies into one massive clutc

More from Disney's Next Release: Planes
