Those that know me, know that I like my cars – the faster, the shinier, and the more more unusual, the better!
So, as Ralph and I sat down to watch Fast and Furious 6, I thought I was in for a real treat! Oh dear, what a disappointment! Maybe I’m getting old, but this film just didn’t do it for me at all – quite how this franchise has got to number 6 in the series, I don’t know.
OK, the action was relentless and the stunts utterly amazing, but the whole thing just seemed to be a series of set-pieces cobbled together with a script that was sooooo cheesy and predictable, I nearly nodded-off!
The only high point (and I use the term high in a relative sense) was the car chase through the streets of London – it must have been a real challenge to film this – and for that, (and that alone), the film is worth watching. Oh, and the site of a pristine Mk1 Ford Escort used in one of the five-gazillion chases!
I listened intently at the final few lines of dialogue, hoping for some words that would resolve all issues and so confirm this franchise had come its natural end – Damn! no such luck, It looks like there’s going to be a ‘7’!!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
