Furious Seven (2015) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2820852/ Horribly absurd action sequences where the main characters should had been dead. What made the action sequences worse was the very poor CGI. $190 million budget and they couldn't hire a better special effects company? I hope this is the last one! With Walker gone, there shouldn't be any reason to make any more! 1/5

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392190/ There is a scene at the beginning of the film that will make you forget Mel is no longer Max and to good effect. Hardy portrays Max with a new furor and with very few spoken words - even less words than Mel ever spoken in any of his Mad Max films. Hardy has finally found his calling as an actor. Theron surprises you as the post apocalyptic woman who has to protect herself and her few sisters from the men around her who are now more violent preying animals than human. This movie is an almost non-stop 2 hour adrenaline rush with real world stunts: not the CGI infused stunts we've seen in many recent car chase movies like The Fast and Furious series and Need For Speed and the Transporter franchise. By the time this film draws its final frame, you had wished there was another 2 hour of it because it went so fast and so furiously exhilaratingly breathless, you will not once throughout the viewing it had even stop to look at your watch. George Miller made us wait for a sequel to Thunderdome and it kept getting postponed year after year after year and before we knew it, 30 years went by and I must say, it was worth the wait. Bring on the sequel and hope it will be as good or even better than Fury Road. I don't give too many films a 10 but Mad Max Fury Road gets a 10 from me and well deservingly too. 10/10

IDIOTS! Don't ever get close to wild life especially wild life that's way bigger than you and especially wild life with her babies! http://www.kcra.com/national/bear-cubs-give-tourists-a-scare/32952956 So many stupid people on that highway... The problem is it's these stupid people that go and instigate trouble with wild life and provoke them and threatened their territory and it's just natural instinct for the wild life to want to defend itself and protect their young. Then after one of these stupid people is injured due to their own stupidity and carelessness, the wild life is the one that ends up paying the price by being put down by Law Enforcement.

Twilight's Last Gleaming (1977) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076845/ This movie was cool when I saw it as a kid. Now that I am more informed on Military vehicles and weapons and other related things, this movie just feels cheesy and inaccurate and dumb. There is just no way someone can gain access to an ICBM missile silo site without needing to show any photo ID to match their faces with their names and the only requirement is to be able to recite back the social security number of the person you are impersonating. 3/5 In other note, there sure a lot of familiar character actors in here. The actor who plays Biggs in Star Wars. The actor who plays the U.S. Nuclear submarine commander in The Spy Who Loved Me and who also had minor roles in Space: 1999 and Star Wars. Paul Winfield who played the L.A.P.D. detective in Terminator and the Captain of the U.S.S. Reliant in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The actor who played Straker in the Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's U.F.O. TV series. And many others.

I may go see it in D-Box with Dad and Grandpa (Andrea's dad) and Andrea and my nephews and nieces and my sister (who are coming in on Wednesday for Mother's Day since my Mamma is at our house right now) if I can scrape up the $ for the $18-21 per person ticket prices.

Last Days in Vietnam (2014) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3279124/ A very sad and moving documentary. It angers me how we just abandoned so many people who were then rounded up by the Communists and sent to re-education camps where many of them, by the 10 of 1000, died of diseases and starvation. The U.S.A. should never had gotten involved in the Vietnam War if it was never going to commit fully to get the job done right. 5/5

The first showing of Avengers: Age Of Ultron in D-BOX REAL D 3-D is $17.65. The night time showings are $21.50. Are they kidding?

Ex Machina (2015) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0470752/ Dang! I wish there were more! Without spoiling the movie for anyone who hasn't seen it, the ending was awesome. Think about the premise of the movie and think about the ending. It was wow! We didn't see that coming. 5/5

I just found out some of the theaters here have D-Box for movies like Furious 7. http://www.d-box.com/en/consumer/about

Jupiter Ascending (2015) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1617661/ Oh my Gawd! I think The Wachowskis brother and sister (for those of you who do not know this already, they were originally 2 brothers but recently, one of them had a surgical procedure turning him into a female) had good intentions when they came up with the story for this movie but somewhere along the pre-production and production, their creative process and thought was lost. This movie is a mess! Where do I start? The pacing of the narrative was erratic due to poor editing. Who the heck edited this movie? Whoever the hell he or she is, he or she needs to go back to editing school. Scenes were cut off in mid execution. Scenes appear out of nowhere without any previous references or exposure. Characters are shown never to be shown again. Did the Wachowski not have a continuity person? Great actors like Sean Bean are wasted. The story is an even bigger convoluted hot mess. Who is who? What are their motives? Who is on which side? Wait! Aren't they all the same family? The action sequences felt like they were just thrown in because "Yo! We have $176 million dollar budget and most of it is for CGI and SFX so let's have another cool chase in space scene. Don't want that money to go to waste, do we?" Hey Wachowskis! Now that you had the chance to sow your creativity oats with one movie failure after another: Speed Racer, Cloud Atlas, Jupiter Ascending, etc. etc. Can we have another Matrix Movie? 1 out of 5
