WTF ever happened to Vin Diesel?
One moment, he was mumbling into the camera in such movies as "XXX" and even "Saving Private Ryan", next moment he's gone. Vanished.

1. "Find Me Guilty"
from a couple of years ago was good. And don't forget the Riddick movies.

2. Yeah those weren't bad
He's a decent action star, better than The Rock...

3. I don't know about that.
The Rock seems to have more of a sense of humor-doesn't take himself too seriously.

5. I have been wondering about him also.
The last movie I saw him in was "Find Me Guilty," where he proved he really can act.

According to this Web site, he is making a new movie "Babylon A.D.

7. i loved the movie "Boiler Room", he was good in that. I haven't seen too many
of his movies after that. The last thing i saw him in was a cameo at the end of The fast and the furious Tokyo drift.

16. well if I made a few million dollars making movies, Id consider retiring
I wonder why some of these folks keep working. Why not retire and live the good life after you've made millions from some movies?

17. Two reasons to keep making movies
1. Someone else has more money, so gotta get more.

2. Work? You call this "Work"?
