  • Fast & Furious 6 2013

    ★★★★★ Added

    I honestly believe that the Fast and Furious franchise is the most consistent franchise in film history and as of right now, May 2013, Furious 6 (the film's "official" title) is the best movie of 2013.

    [Side note #1: Up until 2011's Fast Five, I thought 2 Fast 2 Furious was the best film in the franchise with Tokyo Drift being a close second. Yes, I saw Tokyo Drift in theaters because I'm awesome.]

This is not your average, run-of-the-mill horror film, it's an experience. It takes everything you know about the genre and flips it upside down.

    ★★★½ Watched 24 Apr, 2013 4

    1. This was the fourth film I've seen this past week in where the score was composed by a musician (the others being The Lords of Salem, Oblivion, and The Place Beyond the Pines).

    2. This was the third film I saw this week that I totally dug the first two acts only to see the entire thing just fall apart during its final act.

    Danny Boyle…
