NYPD Blue

This week I thought I would review a great cop show that was on air for 12 years. The series I am referring to is NYPD Blue. I couldn't find a trailer since the show is over twenty years old, but we will go without. It is about New York Police Detectives in Manhattan solving cases. I know that sounds ordinary, but this is a really good series. The acting is well done, and the stories they tell are very interesting that it keeps you hooked.

The show had a lot of actors over the years, but the well-known ones are: Dennis Franz, was in Die Hard 2 and City of Angels, Gordon Clapp, was in Flags of our Fathers and Taking Chance, James McDaniel, was in Malcolm X and Edge of America, Bill Brochtrup, was in Ravenous and Life as we Know It, Kim Delaney, was in Body Parts and Mission to Mars, Nicholas Turturro, was in The Longest Yard and the TV series Blue Bloods, Henry Simmons, is in the TV series Agents of Shield, Jimmy Smits, was in Mother and Child and Backyard, and finally Mark-Paul Gosselaar, was in the series Saved by the Bell and Franklin & Bash.

In the end, if you like cop shows this is by far one of the best there is. It has great acting, stories that you are interested in, and characters that will have you wanting more. You will be hooked by the first episode, and won't be able to stop. My rating is you should see this as soon as you can.

Furious Seven

I know this review is late, but after reviewing the other films one after the other I decided to take a break. I'm referring to the Fast and Furious films, and to this week's review of Furious Seven. With this being Paul Walker's last film they did him and the franchise justice. You are probably all wondering about the digital face aspect, and let me tell you that they did an amazing job. There are times you can tell, but it is very rare, and by the end I was asking myself how much of the movie he actually filmed. They retired Walker's character very well, but because of the way they did it I think this should be the last film. If they make another one I will definitely watch it, but I don't think they should. This one is finally a sequel to the third film, and if you watch the franchise you will understand.

In Furious Seven, Dom and his family are being hunted by Deckard Shaw, the brother of Owen Shaw. They have to pull together, and make sure Shaw doesn't hurt anyone else of their family. I really liked this film, and if you want a really good action film this is it. The one thing you have to keep in mind though this time around is what actually is possible in the human world. What I mean is that in the other films you had to put this in the back of your mind, but it isn't as bad as in this one. Like they do this one thing that is just not possible and you can't help but laugh. As long as you can get past that you will have an awesome time with it.

The movie stars: Vin Diesel, was in The Fast and the Furious and XXX, the late Paul Walker, was in Hours and 2 Fast 2 Furious, Jason Statham, was in The Transporter and Crank, Michelle Rodriguez, was in Fast & Furious and Avatar, Jordana Brewster, was in Fast Five and The Faculty, Tyrese Gibson, was in Transformers and 2 Fast 2 Furious, Ludacris, was in Furious 6 and Gamer, Dwayne Johnson, was in The Scorpion King and Hercules, Lucas Black, was in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and is in the TV series NCIS: New Orleans, Kurt Russell, was in Stargate and Miracle, Nathalie Emmanuel, is in Game of Thrones, and finally Elsa Pataky, was in Snakes on a Plane and Fast Five.

In the end, Furious Seven is a great installment to the franchise with an honorable send off to Paul Walker. The acting is good, the special effects are well done, and the action is breathtaking. If you have enjoyed the other films you will most certainly enjoy this one. My rating is that you should see this as soon as you can if you like the others, or you want to see Paul Walker's last great film. 

Furious 6

I know the seventh film is released today, but I have to review the sixth film first. This review is on the sixth Fast and Furious film known as Furious 6. This time around Luke Hobbs hires Dom, Brian, and their crew to take down a team of mercenaries who use cars to pull off their heists. Since the fifth film raised the bar the sixth one keeps that same energy going. It has great action and awesome effects. If you liked the others you will like this one.

Furious 6 stars: Vin Diesel, was in The Fast and the Furious and XXX, Paul Walker, was in Hours and Takers, Dwayne Johnson, was in Fast Five and The Rundown, Jordana Brewster, was in The Faculty and Annapolis, Michelle Rodriguez, was in Fast & Furious and Avatar, Tyrese Gibson, was in 2 Fast 2 Furious and Transformers, Sung Kang, was in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and Live Free or Die Hard, Gal Gadot, was in Fast Five and Knight and Day, Ludacris, was in Max Payne and Gamer, Luke Evans, was in Immortals and The Raven, and Gina Carano, was in Haywire and In the Blood.

Furious 6 is a really fun action film that kept the energy from Fast Five. If you are a fan of the franchise this film won't disappoint you, and if you aren't then that is okay. These films are for the fans, and they get better each time. After this one I'm excited to see Furious 7 when I can. In the end, my rating is that you should see this film if you like the series. Ride or die.
