DIESEL-POWERED

It seems as if Vin Diesel willed himself to become Hollywood’s newest action hero — and it worked: Diesel’s superspy extreme makeover, XXX, has landed at the top of the charts. While tomorrow’s muscleman enjoys his victory, yesteryear’s hero Sylvester Stallone can take solace in the fact that his direct-to-video thriller Eye See You managed to crack the top 20. Of course, it cracked it at No. 12, but who’s keeping track?
