WARWICK SHOWCASE

 

Fast X
* * *1/2
(Number 10 in the Action Series)

They’re back!

Dominic (Vin Diesel) and his family, which includes his crew, have a new bad guy to contend with.

There are cameos from Helen Mirren, Rita Moreno, John Cena, Ludacris and Brie Larson.

Dante, played by Jason Momoa, is seeking revenge for the crew killing his father. And is he persistent!

There are four major car chases, one race, and numerous fights in this action packed adventure, where more cars and trucks are annihilated than are registered in the state of Rhode Island.

Bridges are wrecked, helicopters crash, and Dominic drives down a dam that looks a lot like the Hoover.

It is all completely outrageous, but exciting. Forget the plot, as it makes no sense as the crew goes from London to Rio to the USA.

The ending leaves you hanging like the old serials used to do.

Everyone stays for the credits. Was that the Rock?

CARMEN
* * *
(Surrealist Drama)

Carmen is an independent, beautiful woman who flees Mexico after her mother is murdered, crossing the border illegally with the help of a former marine suffering from PTSD.

The two make it to Los Angeles and the La Sombra nightclub, which is owned by her mother’s best friend.

Carmen rekindles her love for dancing, while Aidan hides out from his past.

The movie becomes very surrealistic, with several beautiful dance routines in the night club and outside in the city streets.

Carmen and Aidan are both searching for their future in this tragic love story.

POLITE SOCIETY
* * ½
(Bollywood Spoof)

This strange Bollywood spoof features two strange Pakistani sisters who live and attend school in England.

Their family follows the Pakistani traditions, while Ria practices karate and Lena pursues art until she is proposed to by a handsome and rich man.

The rest of the movie has Ria trying to stop the wedding.

I found the characters very irritating and the story very
stupid.
