“Need for Speed” Hot Cars Fuel Action Film (Film Review)

 

Hot cars, hot women and hotheads cut loose in Need for Speed an action packed film that will make your head spin. It’s a little of Smokey and the Bandit, a measure of Fast and Furious and a lot of Cannonball Run, and that’s a good thing.  Much like those films, Need for Speed hooks its audience from the very beginning with exciting street racing, an interesting back story and embraceable characters.  If you just can’t wait for Fast and Furious 7, then hop into your Mustang and drive safely to your nearest movie theater.

MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Ep 15: Yes Men (T.V. review)

SHIELD Level 7

The name of this week’s episode, Yes Men, is thankfully not a reference to the underwhelming Jim Carrey film of nearly the same name (Yes Man).  Nor is it a Jeopardy answer, as in:

ALEX TREBEK: “What fanboys call the confidantes who read George Lucas’ Star Wars prequel scripts, knew they were bad, and did nothing about them.”

CONTESTANT: “Who are the Yes Men?”

ALEX TREBEK: “You are correct, J.J.”

But I digress.

Yes Men in this case refers to the helpless males who fall under the spell (literally) of guest villainess Lorelei, an Asgardian sorcerer imprisoned for 600 years after enslaving Asgard’s men to her will.  Now she has escaped and is bent on doing the same to midgard.  Or at least to the American southwest where Coulson’s crew confronts her.

Maybe she’ll succeed.  Maybe she won’t.  Either way, I wish she had invaded prior to 1999, specifically Skywalker Ranch, because if anyone could’ve said no to Lucas, it would’ve been Lorelei.
