Furious 7 (2015)
9/10
A Fast Ride To A Final GoodBye
12 April 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Dominic Torreto's (Vin Diesel) team is back in action to take on Owen Shaw's "necessary evil" older brother Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), who is out for angry an vengeance after Toretto throwing Owen Shaw out the cargo plan in Fast and Furious 6, paralyzing him and ruining his plans for world domination.

The entire cast is back in this high octane, fast paced-adredaline, thriller, even Hector from Fast and The Furious made a cameo appearance to show to the audience that the producers of the franchise are wrapping this one up tight to make this last movie a memorable one for the ages. The plot is fairly easy to follow as you jump from one car to the other to keep the action going, literally. What makes the plot move along is the sound track, with smooth transition of up beat EDM at social settings like a party, to the good feel of hip hop music that hits the heart hard. The score of the film is amazing as well, keeping you on the edge of your seat that compliments the cinematography of the film as if you are in the car with the characters, flying off cliffs and free falling out of a plane.

Family is a frequent word used through out the film to set the theme. Toretto heavily emphasizes to Brian O' Conner, that family is everything and that you do anything to protect your family; that it's not about the cars, the girls, the money or glamour in life, but about keeping the family together no matter what stands in the way. The team is loyal, selfless, and in a literal sense they are risk takers, willing to do anything to get the job done.

Finally, this film is a heart-warming tribute to the actor Paul Walker, who died towards the end of the shooting of this film, but thankfully the editors and producers of the film did an outstanding job of ending the film with out having to find a replacement for Paul's character Brian (Paul Walker). His brother, Cody Walker was a grateful help to do any voice over or filling in scenes that weren't quite ready for the final cut. It is a weird, but good feeling when watching this film that you don't realize that this actor, Paul Walkler had such an impact on people's life because you got a sense from hearing stories from the actors, reading about this charity events, and his acting that he was a good person. The end of the film, with the song See You Again by Wiz Khalifa feat Charlie Puth, was a memorable and fantastic way to end the series of Fast and Furious. I would like to congratulate and thank all the people who were involved making these fun, fast, paced films for audiences to enjoy, not only in the U.S., but around the world as well.

Insidious (I) (2010)
7/10
Creepy, jumpy and funny
24 March 2011
I saw the screening of this movie Weds, March 23, 2011 and...not bad. Three things to know.

1. The acting is good, but the music was great. Very corny, orchestrated string music and loud. 2. The story was actually easy to follow, and not predictable till the very end. I don't think anybody in the theater knew how the ending would be till the very last five minutes of the film. 3. As for being scary, it's more creepy than scary, also jumpy because of the music. Creepy as in "little children creepy" with those little giggles and laughs they have.

Give the movie time because it takes a while for the movie to get going, but that's what makes this movie good. A creepy person doesn't just come up and scare you right away cause that's just weird. A creepy person sends you messages of I'm there, but you can't see me. Like someone hiding in a bush, and you see them for a split second and you look back and they aren't there anymore. If you are frighten or startled easily, then this is the movie for you. But if you aren't scared easily, then you'll just find this movie really creepy.
