Furious 7. 7/10.

Pretty much what you expect at this point.

Ridiculous amounts of car porn. Cheesy dialogue. They way they dealt with Walker's death was nice. More tears than I expected to see from the crowd.
 
Interstellar, 9.5/10. Wish I could have seen this in IMAX, it would have been epic. Very well-acted, and the snarky robots were awesome.
 
The Maltese Falcon 10/10. Classic, perfectly edited, and acted about a private eye, a dame, and pesky Europeans trying to screw people over for a valuable. No CGI, no gore, no F-bombs every 4 seconds. You can feel Hammett's world in every scene. Bogart grabbing Lorre and telling him, "When you're slapped you'll take it, and like it!" is one of the most OG moves ever.

Insurgent 3/10. Young adults with superpowers or telekinesis and an abundance of hair gel. Took the nieces and they liked it so I kept my mouth shut. Guess this vehicle is to make Woodley the next Jennifer Lawrence but I don't see it.

Birdman 7.5/10. I love Michael Keaton in this. Emma Stone was very good. But overall it felt like something was missing in this one. Too much Hollywood kissing it own behind with hangers-on and these meetings among the a-holes that run the industry. Still a good film.

Supposed to see "It Follows" this week. Being hyped like the scariest movie ever so the letdown will probably be huge.
 
Big Hero 6 - 8.5/10

saw it at the Carmike Movies 7 in Knoxville, I am happy that they have upgraded to DLP projection. $13.50 for two tickets, two medium drinks and a large popcorn. Not bad if you don't mind waiting a while to see a movie on the big screen.
 
If you don't believe tying a belt around a pipe will save you during an F5 tornado, then you ain't right!

Exactly. It's science. Duh. I went out and bought 4 leather straps just like it in case we a tornado some day. They're already tied to the water heater.

Furious 7

6.5/10

Not a bad movie. Typical over the top action sequences. I loved the way they sent Paul Walker out at the end of the movie. I shed a few tears....very sad and beautiful all in one.

My wife saw Insurgent (She read the book series the movies are based off of) and she didn't like it. She said the first movie Divergent was pretty close to the books but this one had nothing to the book except for title and characters.
