Film Review: The Fate of the Furious

The Fate of the Furious is the eighth instalment of the Fast and Furious franchise, featuring the usual line up of drivers with the added bonus of Charlize Theron, playing the criminal mastermind and cyber terrorist Cipher, development of Jason Statham's character as Deckard Shaw and a cameo from Helen Mirren who channels her inner gobby-Londoner as Shaw's mother.

Steering away from the original street racing aspect of Fast and Furious it is fair to say that this film is more action with the gasping moment where Dom (Vin Diesel) teams up with Cipher who interrupts his honeymoon with Letty, will he pull through and return to his wife (Michelle Rodriguez) and the rest of the family? The references to the much loved Brian O'Conner remind the viewers of the sense of family that does surround the Fast and Furious cast as this is the first film, apart from Tokyo Drift, where we lack the on-screen appearances of Brian, since the actor who portrayed him (Paul Walker) sadly died in a single car accident in November 2013.

The reviews have been mixed to good, yet it has quickly overtaken Star Wars: The Force Awakens in the highest-grossest film in its opening weekend. The Fast and the Furious film series is definitely one of my favourites and I can sit and rewatch them over and over again, I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves the action, loves the cars, loves the ride or die feel or just fancies watching a film. I mean, I loved it and you should definitely watch it.

Until next week,

Doris goes to see Captain Marvel | FILM REVIEW

Hello dearies! I hear the new film that's 'hot on the block' recently is this Captain Marvel one, and little old Doris does like to be hip, trendy and down with the kids *throws the equivalent of a swagger sign* so decided to hop on the bandwagon and go along, booking myself in for the 12.00 (pm just to clarify) showing at the local cinema. I'm currently cutting down on the whole chocolate/cake/biscuits scene, so sneaked a small tub of Pringles into the cinema with me...I have to say, I felt like a bit of a rebel eating food that I'd bought from somewhere else whilst inside the cinema, it was an adrenaline rush! If you're wondering what flavour Pringles they were, I obviously chose the best ones aka sour cream and onion as I'm not some sort of monster. Anyway, I did buy one of those Tango Ice thingymabobs as I hear that's too what the cool kids like to have at the cinema. I could only have cherry though as the machine wasn't working properly, t

End of Summer Catch Up

Hello Earthlings, One I know this post is late and last weeks was early but from this Sunday it will be back to normal and two please don't be upset with the title of this blog as I hate to tell all of you summer lovers but summer is nearing the end...well for 2016 anyway but saying summer 2017 seems a little bit too far away right now. I thought that I would take some time now to have a catch up, through the screens of our technical devices, before the new season is upon us. I have to say, I personally love the changing of the seasons, for any season not just for the end of the summer to the beginning of autumn but for all of them. I don't really have a favourite season because I love the perks of all of them; autumn means the leaves change colours and Halloween and Bonfire Night, winter means cold weather, cosiness, Christmas and New Year, spring means lighter nights, Easter and new life and summer means hot weather, relaxing and of course a lot of time off (well for now,

Hello Earthlings! As I sit and type this I'm tucked up cosy in bed and listening to the wind batter everything in sight, and it doesn't matter that today I turned 20 because the wind still scares me so I'm still going to tuck up as tight as I can and try my best to ignore it after I've typed this. But, anyway! Hi. Birthdays are a funny thing, you know they're going to happen and you know that you get older but they're a bit odd. When I was little, I looked forward to being a teenager which in itself is completely barmy (maybe I'm the only one intimidated by groups of teenagers...), and I always thought "13 is such a grown up age!!!" because 6 year old me was clearly clueless. I remember a particular time where I stood looking out of my bedroom window, in the house I lived in as a young child, wistfully into the distance (you know like they do on films where it gets to a real deep moment?) and couldn't wait for 13 to arrive so I could be a &
