The Fast and the Furious (2001)
worst movie ever
First of all, I have a Greddy turbocharged, intercooled, 13 second, Honda Civic EX. I AM an import car enthusiast but I will have to say that this is the WORST movie I have seen in a long time. I had a feeling it would be bad so I waited to rent it. I wish that I had waited longer. The acting is incredibly bad. It reminds me of the acting you would see on a daytime soap. It's like fingernails scraping down a chalkboard.
I see in other reviews here there are claims that they have the cars down right. Hardly. In one race, one of the cars completely trashes his engine after using a 100 shot of NOS. A few minutes later, he races off in it. It's laughable. In fact, the movie was bad enough to laugh all the way through it except for that scraping fingernail thing in background.
If you are under 17, you might like this. Even then, I think that a lot people in that age range would find this a bad film. Save your money.
Soledad (2000)
Great Short Film
I watched Soledad recently on IFC and was taken by how it made me feel. It portrays slavery as it truly was - brutal. It shows how families were shattered and how human beings were treated as no more than animals.
I particularly like the flamenco guitar sound track. Flamenco has a soulful, haunting, style that went well with the subject matter. The costumes and set were done well and the acting was superb. I hope to see, Reggie Willis, Adam del Monte and Laila del Monte in films again.
