“Live to ride.”

The new installment into the Fast and the Furious series did not disappoint. Fast & Furious was funny and action packed, plus they had some really beautiful cars. Oh, and Paul Walker is in it, so how could you go wrong? I know, some of the girls might be thinking “Ugh! I don’t want to go see this stupid movie” if you are then you’re missing out on a good one. This is obviously more of a guys movie, but that’s alright because I don’t really understand anything about cars and the fact that P.W is in it makes it okay.

In the movie, Dom (Vin Diesel) is wanted for stealing oil. When the cops catch on to him he runs away, leaving his girlfriend behind. Little did he know that while he was on the run she was trying to help clear his name with the FBI. Something goes wrong and it leaves Dom very upset which causes him to seek revenge upon a gang of drug dealers. An FBI agent, Brian (Paul Walker), is sent to work undercover and try to capture the very same drug dealers Dom is looking for. This causes tension between the two; now this is where the action really starts, with a very impressive race between Dom and Brian you really feel like you’re in the car with them. Eventually the two become friends once again, Dom is then punished for his actions and P.W is kicked out of the FBI. The ending of the movie implies that there might be another one of these movies to come, or it just leads into the third movie; which I haven’t seen.

Even though I wanted to see Adventureland more than I wanted to see Fast & Furious (I didn’t realize that they came out on the same day), I really enjoyed everything that it had to offer. Even though at one point I leaned over to my brother and whispered “this movie is kind of boring”, it was just because I didn’t know what more was to come out of this action movie. The stunts were absolutely amazing, the beginning scene was pretty much perfectly executed and very impressive.

Be prepared for: a major twist, Vin Diesel crying, Paul Walker’s best Keanu Reeves’ impression, and your craving to see the first three movies.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button definitely lived up to its hype. Even though the length of the movie was a little too long (just about three hours!) the actors and events kept you interested at all times. Brad Pitt does a great job of playing this interesting character, Benjamin Button. This movie is filled with playful jokes and a few tear jerking scenes, there is no doubt that almost everyone can enjoy this movie. The make-up and special effects department did a wonderful job of making Cate Blanchett look old and Brad Pitt look like his “younger” self, it was really impressive. The coolest thing, in my opinion, is how the make-up department made Pitt’s face look older, he then acted out a scene, and then the special effects people put his face on a different body. Even though it’s probably been done before, this movie did a really great job.

I believe that everyone should at least see this movie once, just because it’s that good.

Be prepared for: your butts fall asleep, your eyes to gather up some tears, and most importantly, for you to enjoy this move.
