FAST and FURIOUS 7.(2015) Movie Review. PAUL WALKER, A FOND FAREWELL.

FAST AND FURIOUS MOVIE REVIEW (2015)

He is now a cinematic legend patterned after JAMES DEAN for his matinee idol looks and dare-devil stunts.

For his fans, they will clearly remember the charisma he exuded across the giant screen and the angst he flamed often in his hi-velocity escapades.

PAUL WALKER is one powerful, driving and seductive performer who will surely take your breath away, all the more he is no longer walking this Earth. 

Hold, even the dead can conjure fantastic box-office returns as can be seen in cases of demised superstars.

Known for his non-stop pulsating action amid butchery mayhem, PAUL WALKER the actor dies unbelievably young in a REAL LIFE freak racing car accident.

And as his world and ours spin and collide, it had been hard to bid him a fond farewell. He has gone with the wind.

His name and face have already been etched in our hearts and no matter how hard we try to preserve the “moment”, we still have to let go. 

Heroes die young, so do memories.   

He is the reason why fans from all over the world flock to the cinema. Nostalgic charm, folks.

Goodbye…. PAUL WALKER, may the force be with you even in your unexpected final moments.

ADIEU.

MOVIE INFO

Continuing the global exploits in the unstoppable franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of Fast & Furious 7.

James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series that also welcomes back favorites Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Elsa Pataky and Lucas Black.

They are joined by international action stars new to the franchise including Jason Statham, Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, Ronda Rousey and Kurt Russell.

 The movie can be deafening with amplified sounds of cars revving.

Its wide-ranging, gravity-defying plot makes no sense. And all that is glorified is pure, adrenaline-infused entertainment.

Director James Wan (The Conjuring) and the returning cast shock the audience with sarcastic one-liners, delving deeper than ever into fantasy land with jaw-dropping car stunts.

The movie offers the perfect tribute to the affable Paul Walker, killed in a car accident in November 2013.

Known mostly for his horror films, Wan is new to the franchise and acquits himself well. It helps, of course, that the cast is back and that screenwriter Chris Morgan, responsible for the last four films, is also on board.

This film is a must for Paul Walker loyalists.

Don’t miss it!

FOOTNOTE:

The Movie is both terrifying and ambitious, full of dangerous turns and lurking dangers at every corner.

RATING: 3.5 out of 5

“INSIDIOUS CHAPTER 2″ MOVIE REVIEW. Yet another Round of ghoulish Haunts.

“INSIDIOUS CHAPTER 2″ PRESS PREVIEW

Do you believe in Ghosts?

It depends, right?

Yet before you can even pause for a soul-churning answer, hey presto ….

the film director JAMES WAN, his motley crew and cast  of “INSIDIOUS” return in a jiff to hastily whisk you off your feet and ferry you through another dimension of his ghoulish haunts, just in case you haven’t braved enough of his scares the last time.

Money spins the world, hence every film maker is eager to jump onto a proven bandwagon.

Haunted house remakes reap lucrative returns at the global box office, this much you can be assured.

For a fact, there are myriads of horror features queuing up in the pipeline for cinematic release.

All old houses have their own tales, and are reminiscent of some kinds of haunts.

So it’s mind over matter.

Are ghosts for real?

Here’s a brief synopsis for INSIDIOUS CHAPTER 2:

The movie is touted by the production company as a terrifying sequel to the first one. Is it?

This time, the Lambert family is adamant about uncovering the mysterious childhood secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world.

They are soon to realize that the demons that possessed their youngest son have not been eradicated.

So Josh (Patrick Wilson) and Renai (Rose Byrne) call in a variety of paranormal experts in a desperate attempt to track the origin of the nightmarish happenings.

The investigation delves into Josh’s troubled childhood and his connection to a mentally unstable man from his past, along with untold secrets from his mother (Barbara Hershey).

Josh Lambert (Patrick Wilson), now a dad, is still being hounded by the supernatural, similar to how he was as a kid in 1983.

This time, his son, Dalton (Ty Simpkins) is implicated as well.

We are shown that the souls of both the dead and alive end up being caught in the “neither world”.

Josh also has to travel back in time to seek help from himself in 1983.

Confused?

Apparently so, if you do not focus.

Director JAMES WAN is trying to cramp too much  on an overloaded platter of mysterious crashes, moving objects, angry ghosts and hungry apparitions.

“INSIDIOUS CHAPTER TWO” is indeed, a watered down version of the first chapter and it has a bit of everything from all of the director’s body of work.

Ask not too many questions if you wish to enjoy the scares.

And if the box office for this Chapter 2 is encouraging, you can be assured that the excitement will continue in Chapter 3.

Righto?

Now, are you ready to go for the chills?
