So, The Fate of the Furious is the 8th movie in this series of car racing/theft/spy/whatever flicks. And like the last three or four of them, it largely abandons whatever the series started as and goes with automotive super-spy / … Continue reading
The Transporter: Refueled is either the continuation of the Jason Statham action chase series or a reboot… and having seen the movie, I’m not sure which it is. Also sure it doesn’t matter. This one stars Ed Skrein, best know … Continue reading
