The 2001 movie is a classic and 2F2F is funny and very "scene" like Tokyo Drift, whose visual look I like most with its shiny neon colors. I can't exactly tell why I like movie #4 least. Mabye I was disappointed that it's no fancy car-focussed movie like the previous ones. Fast Five is an action bomb and my favorite out of the first six, almost reached by F&F 6 which had some flaws in between. F7 is so over the top that you even have to laugh on some action scenes.
The first short movie is a nice addition, while the second one ist just about family and love. It adds something to the characters' background, but it doesn't really fit fit into the F&F universe.
I like the way the movies of the series are connected to each other, especially in parts 5 & 6.
"Supercharged" is an F&F themed park ride that include 3D holograms and a short pursuit in "360°" (in fact, it's just two long cinema screens on both sides) where the visitors are in the middle of the action. I don't know what's worse: the acting in the hologram scenes or the special effects during the hot pursuit that really look like computer graphics and not realistic at all. However, the idea is nice and the introduction well-made.

The Old Dark House (1932)
Very good movie but with a very unsatisfying end
Inventing the Horror House genre, this Pre-Code Hollywood film (that was considered lost until 1968) is a gem in being interesting with somewhat complex psychological happenings and a lot of black humor, especially for its time. The film is one of the Universal Horror Movies of the 1920s-1950s starring Boris Karloff and was released only two months before The Mummy (1932 film). It also stars Gloria Stuart - most people will know her as old Rose in Titanic (yes, she was born in 1910. She also acted in another Universal Horror feature The Invisible Man (1933 film) which I rated 9/10!) I'd rate this film 7/10, but the abrupt end let so many questions unresolved that I couldn't believe this is the end of the film. I had to degrade it to a 6/10. Pity! It could've been an 8/10 with a better end (or at least one that feels like an end at all). I recommend watching this movie.
