Introduction

I love going to movies and I always eat swedish fish candy while there. The two seem to go well together!

I have created this blog out of request from my friends and family. Many people know I see at least one movie a week and will ask me for a recommendation. This blog will be my "average Joe movie goer" thoughts on movies I have seen.

I usually go to the movies by myself. I love the experience of getting my refreshments(including swedish fish), finding my favorite place to sit, and just sitting back and getting lost in the action.

From time-to-time, I do take one of my kids or my wife. Where applicable, I will add their comments in my movie blogs.

I hope you find my reviews helpful as you are trying to pick your next movie experience

Fast and Furious 4

My three fish rating for this movie is based on me being a Gearhead(not sure what a “gearhead” is..go here). My wife(who wouldn’t go see this movie if I agreed to do her dishes for a month) thought I was being too generous with my Swedish Fish rating. I love fast cars and this movie had a lot of them. Fast and Furious 4 brings back the original cast from its debut movie “The Fast and the Furious” (2001). The two heavy hitters in both movies are Vin Diesel(who plays Dominic Toretto the tough bad ass) and Paul Walker(who plays Brian O'Conner the undercover cob). Vin has tried other more sensitive roles but always goes back to this one. Paul Walker’s character is a little confusing. He puts one foot in Dominic’s world and the other on the side of the law. It makes for some interesting chase scenes but does not seem to be grounded in reality. So if you are looking for a movie that fits the bill for the guy’s night out, Fast and Furious 4 will do the trick. If you are picking a movie for your date night, I would look elsewhere! Will there be a Fast and Furious 5? My prediction is yes. Why not ride this one until it runs out of gas.
