The Croods

 

Let's Talk Movies!!!!

 

 

 

      Here is a movie where things do go bump in the night, well, kind of.  The Croods are a family of six and as you can see, cavemen.  The world is changing and it doesn't look good for them.  The Croods appear to be the last of their kind until a young man named Guy meets Eep.  Grug didn't like Guy and he didn't like change.  Grug is the super protective type so making sure his family was taken care of was always number one. 

 

      Guy wasn't afraid of change and knew how to survive.  In fact, the only thing Guy was afraid of for a while were the Croods.  Soon everyone warmed up to one another and the only thing left to do was keep moving.  The Earth itself was changing and homes and families were being destroyed.  Although the Croods managed to survive, Guy's family wasn't so lucky.  Once they found a safer place to call home, the family of six became a family of seven.

 

      This was a pretty good family movie.  I would take the children again if I could, it was well worth the money.  I know it doesn't seem as if the movie was any good, but this is one of those that you have to go see it yourself.  I give the this movie 4 1/2 stars, it made me laugh a lot.  Well, that's it all for now folks, till next time...........

 

 

LET'S TALK MOVIES!!!!

Fast and Furious 6

 

 

Let's Talk Fast 6!!!

 

      Despite the fact that I am super late with this post, there are no words to discribe how SWEET this movie was.  We all know just how much I love my action movies.  Well, this is one of those great action movies.  When you see this movie, you can tell that making this movie cost Hollywood a lot of money.  All those cars getting smashed and crashed, but it was worth it.

 

      The action doesn't start til Agent Hobbs pays Dominic Toretto a visit asking for his help.  Knowing that Dom wasn't going to just offer his help, agent Hobbs gives him a reason to say yes by telling him that Letty is still alive with a pic to show as proof.  Not taking any chances, Dom shows Brian O'Conner and his wife (Dom's sister) Mia, the possility that Letty is alive.  However Dom doesn't want O'Conner to help just in case things go south.  Mia doesn't care, if Letty is alive, she is family and everyone should help her get home. 

 

      All hands on deck now.  Everyone is called to help, Roman, Han, Gisele, and Tej.  Agreeing to help agent Hobbs in finding Shaw, things got a little messy.  Shaw was always 5 steps ahead of them because he had someone on inside.  However, the team wasn't aware of that issue til later on.  Dom has known Letty for years and knows everything about her, right down to the kind of cars she likes and how she drives.  In the middle of chasing Shaw, Dom comes face to face to a familar skill of driving and decides to follow it and soon found out for himself that Letty was very much alive, but she had no memory of him or her pasted life.

 

      In the end, Letty realizes that Shaw never cared about her and that he was using her to get what he really wanted.  Shaw orders Letty to get on top of the tank to release the car that is slowing them down.  Once on top, the car that hanging off the tank get caught and Letty goes flying in the air and so does Dom in an attempt to save her not knowing that they would survive the fall.  At this point, Shaw is captured and everyone just wants to go home, or is he......

 

      Shaw manages to find a way out of custody and tries to go catch a plane out of the country.  However, before he does, he reveals his little helper officer Riley, the young lady that has been helping agent Hobbs the whole time.  During the plane scene,  we find out just how much Han loves Gisele and how much she loves him back.  The team loses Gisele and leaves Han feeling very hurt.  Even though Letty has no memory of Dom, she was afraid that she had lost him as well.  Hobbs thanked everyone for their help and asked what they wanted, Dom's response was, in short to return back home. 

 

      For those of you who stayed after the credits rolled and for those who didn't, they did a flash back to Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift.  This flash back was when Han was being chased by someone else and crashed and died.  Well, we find out who it was chasing him.  Although we don't have the characters' name yet, the actor in this scene is no one other than Jason Statham himself.  When you think about most of the roles he has played, this fits him perfectly.  I give this action packed movie a well deserved 5 stars.  For those wondering if this is it, the answer is no, there is talk of at least 3 more in the making.   Till next time folks.......
