It's honestly random things I experience and feel like writing about for the entertainment of my friends and others. If you don't agree with me I really don't care, so please don't try to piss and moan about my pissing and moaning.

Fast & Furious 7: This Seems Familiar?
I had a free rental from Family Video, so I utilized it to rent Fast & Furious 7: The Most FURIOUSER of Them ALL! I knew what I was getting into and it's nice that they no longer have to waste any time on "character development" besides Statham's random bad guy Deckard Shaw. This is shocking, but the "Family" needs to get back together and go on crazy missions with cars and action included. Statham's brother was the guy killed in F & F 6, so he's mad and wants revenge despite not being close at all with his brother. He kills Han and blows up Vin Diesel's house, so now everyone's pissed off. He gets into a giant brawl with Agent Hobbs (The Rock) and an explosion injures THE ROCK, keeping him on the sidelines for a good chunk of the film sadly. The find Shaw THE FAMILY needs to recover "God's Eye", a device that utilizes all cameras and microphones around the world to find someone. They need to rescue the hacker responsible, and then the actual technology. I'm glad Tony Jaa was brought in, though he was tragically underutilized. The car and action scenes are similar in the insanity and scope of the previous movies. Despite being heavily armed somehow they always find themselves in hand-to-hand combat. It's two hours of crazy car/fighting action that is thoroughly entertaining. Things don't need to make sense always. There is a very nice tribute to Paul Walker at the end, but I was hoping to find more in the special features, but there was nothing. I found the special on how they create/find the cars they use to be excellent. Their car purchasing guy clearly loves what he does and that's entertaining.
Bottom Line: 7.1 out of 10. It is an action movie through and through that manages the moments where you want to shake your head and call "bullshit" on. If you've seen any of the others, especially the last few, it's very similar shockingly.
