Greetings, all!

Welcome to the new school year.

    Fast and Furious 6 was movie about bringing the family back together by getting a member to come back home. However, she was brainwashed from and explosion that occurred in the previous movie. This movie had positives and negatives about it. The positives about the movie was that it always kept you on your toes will all the thrilling action. In the movie there was a huge plot twist when Torretto thought they had won by getting the chip and a part of the family back in Letty, but they had it all wrong and they were a step behind because they had captured his family and they let him go to get his family back. At the end of the movie they winded up getting everything they were going for. The last positive of the movie was the picture and the camera shots they had. The shots they had made you think you were a part of the movie. The negatives of the movie was they didn’t include who the two other Spanish characters were never seen again. They were just missing and if the producer of the movie put that little information into the movie it would’ve been a better movie.

    22 Jump Street a movie about to cops who go undercover as college students to find out who the supplier is with the new drug. Like the first one when them separated from each other one being the cool one who was actually the nerd in high school and the nerd who was the coolest kid in school in high school. Well in this one it switch for them again. The cool one Jenko was back to being the cool one and Schmidt went back to being a nerd. This movie had very little positives like the action shot were good but that’s about it. The main positive was that it was funny because I was laughing the entire time. The negatives it was basically the same as the first one just flipped around and basically you knew everything that was happening.
