THE THRILLERS OF IT ALL, PART DEUX: My take on the movies Furious 7 and Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter

http://ow.ly/LoOMT Okay, I admit it. It got me. Furious 7, the latest entrée in the fast car, not so fast women (the film is surprisingly family focused) franchise, and its tribute to the late Paul Walker brought more than a wee tear to my eye. How could it not? However, before I go into any more detail here, full disclosure: I have never seen a Fast and Furious movie before. That’s right. Zip. Nada. Not a single one. So, take that into account before taking seriously anything I have to say. Furious 7 is, well, let’s face it: it’s ridiculous, often cheesy, over the top, clunky. In fact, one could make a sound argument that it’s really not a very good film at all. Still, it’s a ton of fun. It more than gets the adrenaline going. It has so much electric energy that if someone had a heart attack in the theater, the movie alone could get the organ pumping again.

As someone who has seen them all, I have always personally thought that's all the Fast and Furious movies are: purely just for fun. Go into them knowing it's going to be completely ridiculous and over the top so just have fun with it!
