CHARLIZE THERON and Vin Diesel in “The Fate of the Furious.”
Fancy operatic rock and roll, or maybe you like getting your hands dirty? Or perhaps you need to hunt for some Easter eggs? If so, there’s some fun to be had this weekend in the Garden Grove-Huntington Beach-Westminster area. Here’s our look.
The only major film in wide release is “The Fate of the Furious,” the latest in a very long series of car race-and-chase movies. This PG-13 edition stars Charlize Theron, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson and Helen Mirren.
