Furious 7 Review

After having a week to linger my thoughts on the latest Furious 7 movie, I have come to the conclusion that is was well done considering the circumstances of Paul Walker's death. In the latest installment of the Fast and Furious franchise, the racing gang comes back together to  fight Deckard Shaw, brother of the last move's villain, Shaw , but was brutally injured by the Furious gang and reclaimed , Letty, who lost her memory of her old friends and was trained as a mercenary under Shaw. But, in Furious, 7 , all seems well as all of the original members are together again, but Deckard Shaw takes out a member of the crew, drawing the attention of the Fast 7 crew and wanting complete chaos wherever he goes.  So, the Furious Crew must take down another Shaw and with the help of secret government forces, the look to save citizens from Shaw's chaotic plans.  The action in the film is well shot and like all of the Furious films, there's great fighting sequences and racing scenes throughout the whole film. As far as the plot goes, it was good but predictable, about halfway into the movie, you the viewer can probably guess what will happen to the bad guy and if any major members of the Furious crew will die.  But, due to the tragic death of Paul Walker, (Brian O'Conner),died amid production of the film, due to a fatal and ironic car crash.  Director James Wan and the writers had to improvise and change the film's plot and direction, since one of the biggest stars of the film is gone. With the help of the Walker family, Paul's brothers came in and played in his scenes with the help of computer generated images and green screen , to make Walker's character , Brian, look realistic.  And Finally, there is a touching tribute to Walker in the last minutes of the movie that all should watch and be delighted to see.  My rating for the film is a 8.8/10 , plus the film has made over 300 million dollars worldwide so most likely there will be a Furious 8 in the next year or so.

Keep on ridin' Fast Crew!

R.I.P. Paul Walker

Drizzy Drake's God's Plan

What's up everyone, I know I've been on hiatus but I've been listening to some great music lately, and some from one of my favorite artists, Drake. Drake dropped two new singles a couple weeks ago, with God's Plan and Diplomatic Immunity. These are hits already and God's Plan has already gone platinum. Drake also shot the music video and released it last week . The video is set in downtown Miami, FL and Drake gives back to the community and gives money to those in need, cars, and other charitable organizations in the process. It was just under a million, but money wasn't an issue for Drake.  Check out the hit song and the wonderfully shot video! Enjoy! https://youtu.be/XUqRem0W8L8
