***Fast and Furious 6 Review***
Fast and Furious 6 Starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster
and Michelle Rodriguez. The film was very entertaining with it’s over
the top action and fighting sequences. When the action scenes happen,
they are awesome. Justin Lin keeps getting better as a director, and
it’s always easy to understand what's happening amidst the high-speed
chaos that inevitably ensues. The film
was so amazing during the action and fighting sequence because over the
course of the series it’s easy to buy in to the insane logic of people
jumping out of and onto speeding cars, or to survive burning wrecks
without a scratch. But try to introduce a half-hearted romance,
double-cross, or rivalry into the film and the momentum is lost. The
script and dialogue in this film was so awful that it makes you wonder
why they keep trying. The performances in the film were decent, but
Dwayne Johnson and Gina Carano were just terrible in the movie. Johnson
and Carano are just terrible actors and the audience can see how awful
their performance was in the film. The film was explosively
entertaining, wonderfully funny and outrageously over the top good time
with intense action and fighting sequences. The film has the most ridiculous plot points and repetitious messages, but when it comes time
to unleash some top-draw action, that's when Lin earns his mettle. The
last two extended action set pieces in the film are stunners, massive,
constantly evolving, and ridiculous in the best ways possible. The first
was a freeway chase involving a tank and along a coastal Spanish
highway high above cliffs. The second was the finale involves a giant
military aircraft and a seemingly endless runway, which was the best
thing about the film. I strongly believe that Fast 5 was way better
than this film overall. I will give this movie a B.

Iron Man 3 Review
*** Iron Man 3 Review***
Iron Man 3 Starring Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, and Guy Pearce. The film was just amazing and very exhilarating adrenaline-rush of a film. Director, Shane Black succeeds perfectly with his direction, writing and mixing it up with real world events and villains. Shane Black (of the fantastic "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang") wisely takes a deeper look at the humanity of Stark, by the process of stripping him bare and making him ask himself if he really needs the suit. The script and dialogue was ambitious but not wise enough to be rightfully beneficial. The film delivers some decent dialogue, intriguing plot-twist, sharp humor and incredible non-stop action sequences. Aside from its darker tone it still manages to be a load of fun to watch. The all-star cast was truly amazing in the film. Robert Downy Jr. is at the top of his game once again, delivering humor, charm and confidence. Downy Jr. adds new depth to the character and shines in a different light. Downey Jr. has an amazing chemistry with Paltrow and Cheadle. Don Cheadle was just terrific. Gwyneth Paltrow was fantastic. Guy Pearce was excellent. Ben Kingsley was brilliant. Pearce and Kingsley are outstanding villains and it looked like they are having a blast. I totally like that the film was darker and more serious than its predecessors. The pacing is perhaps a little uneven, but it was still enjoyable. The twist in the tale revolving around The Mandarin was a great idea and very effectively smart and extremely thought out. The Plot of the story kind of feels a little cliché and very similar to the plot line of Batman Forever. The special and visual effects were amazing and well planned out with exhilarating imagination. I thought the film ended with a bang and it was a very satisfying conclusion to the series. I will give this movie an A.
