Fast & Furious 6: The Re(al) - view
Luke Hobbs: When you invite me to your house, you become the guestIt's bigger, louder and just a little (actually, a smidgen) better that Fast Five; why? Well, The Rock is no longer hunting them. period! But, its definitely a fun experience.
Fast 6 (as I would refer to it), has got awesome action sequences, wicked stunts with cars, a tank and a plane, ridiculous humour courtesy of Tyrese, and an okay script. "An okay script" in the Fast & Furious franchise is gold, as their movies are more action centric - always about the race car culture with little reference to a solid story line, but something happened with Fast Five, a transition with the plot that changed the course of the franchise, and this change reflected in Fast 6, this time and for the second time in the entirety of the franchise - they are on good terms with the law; and that's a big problem, you see in Fast Five, there was a nearly non-existent bad guy in Hernan Reyes, but there was a twist - a hunter was also in play - Luke Hobbs (The Rock), so we had the team going against a guy who had the entire police force in Rio in his pocket and a hunter that's quite determined to catch his prey, even if he beats the (bleep) out of 'em.
Fast 6 sees Hobbs overwhelmed by the collective awesomeness of the team, something the writer's must have forgotten is that in Fast Five, Hobbs was against the team so his on-screen presence against Toretto (portrayed by Vin Diesel) was the selling point, especially their epic testosterone-fuelled fight scene. Here, Fast 6, we see a highly skilled team of thieves go up against Toretto team (which is in partnership with Hobbs) - that sounds like a really good script except the villain here is lame; he's smart but he's dwarfed by Diesel's Toretto & Rock's Hobbs. But the beautiful thing about all of this is, you almost don't notice it because director Justin Lin made sure to compensate with some really over-the-top scenes like Toretto propelling from a speeding car to catch Letty (played by Michelle Rodriguez) mid-air on a bridge only to land on his back on the windscreen of a car. And its only in Hollywood you see a guy walk away from such an event without a scratch.
Other than the ridiculously awesome action scenes, the actors - good guys - were collectively really cool. My favourite wasn't Diesel's Toretto, it was the quick witted, comic fuelled Roman Pearce (portrayed by Tyrese Gibson). His character was the only voice of reason in the team, particularly about him risking his life for some chick he's never met and not get paid for it; and that comment about him being the handsome black dude is priceless. The rest of the team were really good, but at times Paul Walker's acting felt bland. Bias-free, Diesel owned the movie, probably because it was centred on his character, but his family-themed speeches were quite clichéd but his mannerism sold it.
Other than a week villain (character-wise), Fast 6 was a fun movie experience, filled with enough absurd action packed scenes, and an enjoyable & yet predictable dialogue with Tyrese baby!
Opened: May 24, 2013 Runtime: 2 hr. 10 min. Genre: Action, Thriller Rated: PG-13
PS: The supposed twist was VERY predictable, try harder next time.

Star Wars (Random Images)
Darth Vader: He is here.
Governor Tarkin: Obi-Wan Kenobi? What makes you think so?
Darth Vader: A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master.
Governor Tarkin: Surely he must be dead by now.
Darth Vader: Don't underestimate the Force.
Governor Tarkin: The Jedi are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion.
[answering a comm signal]
Governor Tarkin: Yes?
Voice over comm: We have an emergency alert in detention block AA-23.
Governor Tarkin: The Princess? Put all sections on alert.
Darth Vader: Obi-wan *is* here. The Force is with him.
Governor Tarkin: If you're right, he must not be allowed to escape.
Darth Vader: Escape is not his plan. I must face him, alone.

Star Trek Into Darkness: The Re(al) - view
James T. Kirk: Why would Starfleet ask a three-hundred year-old frozen man for help?
Khan: Because I am better.
James T. Kirk: At what?
Khan: Everything. Alexander Marcus needed to respond to an uncivilized threat in a civilized time, and for that, he needed a warrior's mind - my mind - to design weapons and warships.
Spock: You are suggesting the Admiral violated every regulation he vowed to uphold, simply because he wanted to exploit your intellect...
Khan: He wanted to exploit my savagery! Intellect alone is useless in a fight, Mr. Spock. You can't even break a rule, how can you be expected to break a bone?Before the heap of praise begins, I must confess that Star Trek Into Darkness is not on par with its predecessor, Star Trek, but that is not a bad thing at all. This was one fun, amazing and action packed Sci Fi experience with the twists placed at the right spots (unlike this HUGE disappointment).

Like Crazy: The Re(al) - view
Anna: I thought I understood it, that I could grasp it, but I didn't, not really. Only the smudgeness of it; the pink-slippered, all-containered, semi-precious eagerness of it. I didn't realize it would sometimes be more than whole, that the wholeness was a rather luxurious idea. Because it's the halves that halve you in half. I didn't know, don't know, about the in-between bits; the gory bits of you, and the gory bits of me.Before I begin this review there are two things I would like you to understand about Like Crazy; first, the budget for this 'beauty' was $250,000 and, second, (and quite unbelievable) it was shot with a Canon EOS 7D DSLR camera. The entire film!

United: The Re(al) - view
Alma George: Manchester United must go on.I'll tell you the singular reason why I love this film - Manchester United!
But United is much more than that, it's a powerful sports drama, with much emphasis on the emotion that surrounds the sport. This is a film that is based on the 1958 Munich plane crash that claimed 23 lives, 8 of which were members of the Manchester United Football Team (aka The Busby Babes) and 3 of the club's staff; the film focused on Assistant Manager Jimmy Murphy (brilliantly portrayed by David Tennant) and Bobby Charlton's (portrayed by Jack O'Connell) personal experience before/on/after this terrible event.

The Great Mouse Detective (Random Images)
Dr. Dawson: How the deuce did you know I was a doctor?
Basil: A surgeon to be exact. Just returned from military duty in Afghanistan. Am I right?
Dr. Dawson: Why, ha, ha, yes. Major David Q. Dawson. But how could you possibly...?
Basil: Quite simple, really. You've sewn your torn cuff together with a Lambert stich, which, of course, only a surgeon uses. And the thread is a unique form of cat-gut, easily distinguished by its peculiar pungency, found only in the Afghan provinces.
Dr. Dawson: Amazing!
Basil: Actually, it's elementary, my dear Dawson.
