Fast & Furious 6, 2013 – ★★★

Letty returns, Giselle sacrifices herself to save Han, Shaw kills Han mid credits. Fun car stunts, too much CGI, not one of my favorite installments.

Fast Five, 2011 – ★★★★

The high water mark for the entire series. Justin Lin smartly brings every main character back, brings in Hobbs, and stages the most thrilling back heist through the streets of Brazil.

Fast & Furious, 2009 – ★★

Dom is back, Letty “dies”, and Giselle enters our hearts. By far my least favorite of the entire series. Kind of fells like nobody knew what to do with these characters anymore.

The Doorman, 2020 – ★★

Exactly want you’d think a 10th generation copy of DIE HARD would look like. But I guess if you are going to copy another movie might as well steal from the best.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, 2006 – ★★★

Much maligned at the time for drifting (ha ha) too far from the original premise, time has been very kind to this third installment. The racing is very well shot, very little CGI, and the introduction of everyone’s favorite character Han.

2 Fast 2 Furious, 2003 – ★★

One of the low points of the franchise, but you do get the additions of Roman and Tej. It doesn’t look like anyone was having any kind of fun making this.

The 6th Day, 2000 – ★★★★

Highly entertaining late career Arnold flick. They surprisingly got a lot right about near-future tech except for the horrifying, nightmare inducing Sim-Pal Cindy dolls. #hdtgm

The Fast and the Furious, 2001 – ★★★

It’s hard to believe such a insane franchise started with a bunch of street toughs stealing dvd/tv combo players. It is kind of charming how blatantly they lift the entire plot from Point Break.

The Forever Purge, 2021 – ★★★

I had relatively high hopes for this sequel after liking The First Purge quite a lot. Boy was I disappointed. The characters were boring. The action was boring. Time to let this series go.

Pig, 2021 – ★★★★

Somber Cage really does a great job here. What you think is going to go the typical revenge movie route turns into something quite heartfelt and sad.

Galaxy of Terror, 1981 – ★★★

One of laziest Alien rip-offs but you can tell the people behind the scenes were very talented and did the best with what they could get. This is a Roger Corman movie after all.

Loki, 2021 – ★★

I did not like this series at all and had a hard time finishing it. I think I am just over the Loki character at this point.
