Fast Five

   I had actually watched this movie like four days ago, but, forgot about writing the review for it, whoops. So, the movie isn't going to be as fresh in my mind, but, lucky for us, it was a Fast and the Furious movie. Let's start out by saying these last two "Fast" movies have been really trying to push away from the racing aspect that made the first movies fun to watch. They are really trying to push toward more of a Oceans 11 type of action/crime/drama movie.

   Dominic and his crew find themselves on the wrong side of the law once again as they try to switch lanes between a ruthless drug lord and a relentless federal agent.With heat coming at them from both sides of the law, they need to make a plan to disappear and fast.

   I'm a sucker for the "Fast" movies, I love them, everyone one of them, except 2 Fast 2 Furious, that one was an abomination, but, Eve Mendes was in that one so it made up for it. So, what can I say, even know they are trying to push away from the racing aspect of the previous movies, it still turned out to be entertaining and I did enjoy it.

   If you do  decide to watch this, which, I think you should, watch out for cameos, there is a lot of them. A lot of appearances from past cast members of the previous movies, and a nice surprise after the credits roll, so stay tuned for that. Only thing that was missing was Lucas Black, who was the star of the third installment The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, which was my favorite and still is of the series, shame it is suppose to take place after the current movies coming out. How confusing, right?

The Mechanic

   I'm a fan of Jason Statham and Ben Foster, so I was pretty psyched going into this movie. Now, I haven't seen the original with Charles Bronson, but, I did like this remake. The movie was action packed, and full of big ass explosions. Not much else a guy could ask for.

   The Mechanic is a remake of the 1972 movie by the same name, staring Charles Bronson. It's about a hit man who ends up training the son of one of his targets to be a hit man like himself. When he finds out he was tricked into doing something he didn't want to do, he and his newly trained partner decide to take down everyone who comes against them.

   The movie was good, it had a pretty solid ending on it, the ending was somewhat expected, but, was still done well. Lots of guns, lots of explosions, and a few naked chicks. This is a guys movie through and through. I recommend a watch if you want to kick your testosterone into overdrive and see what it's like to be awesome.
