Fast Five- B+

Fast Five takes a while to take off. The first 20 minutes is the audience waiting for something to happen. Then we finally get the speed and action that the franchise guarantees every movie. Fast Five is somewhat slow at times but in the end, gives you what you've been waiting for.

The best thing about The Fast and the Furious movies are the characters. Almost no other movie can compare to the characters and how compatible they are. Also the racing sequences are what impresses and grabs the audience's attention the most.

Fast Five holds back on the many sequences and focuses more on the mission and story of the movie.

In the end, the movie doesn't disappoint and you get the action packed car scene you crave from the franchise, but more than that, in the very VERY end you get the most that this movie could ever give that no one could have predicted and will leave you in awe. B+

Scream 4- B+

Wes Craven's use of comedy and horror together is genius. Scream 4 is so entertaining you wont want it to end and suspenseful you will leave the theater more than satisfied. Coming back to Woodsboro after 11 years is the perfect set-up for the fourth installment of Scream.

On her book tour, Sydney Prescott comes back to visit Woodsboro for the anniversary of the Woodsboro massacre. She soon finds herself reuniting with old friends, Dewey, and Gale (now married) and faces Ghostface him/herself. Now that Sydney is back in her hometown, so is Ghostface. Sydney is then stuck in Woodsboro as a suspect of the murders and in the meantime is protecting her family and friends while Dewey as the sheriff of the town is trying to solve the murders as well as Gale (although she was authorized not to).

Now Ghostface is filming the murders and new characters come into play. The ending is something no one will see coming and is as crazy as any of the others. This instant horror classic is as good as the first and continues the franchise as the best one yet. B+
