F9 MOVIE REVIEW

The family is back, pretty much all of them, and this time they’re on the hunt for a James Bond villain-esque weapon that could give ULTIMATE POWER to a douchey eurotrash dude. Oh, and also Charlize Theron. Surprises abound with yet another character returning from the dead, a never before mentioned brother of Dom’s (John Cena), wilder stunts, Mario Kart super powers, and, well, just more of the madness you’ve come to expect from the Fast and the Furious Saga. Yes. It’s a ‘saga’. While these films aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, we’ve got Chris and Ben firmly in the LOVE THEM camp, and relative newcomers to the franchise, Wright and Marcos, trying to keep a balance and try to get the odd balance of stupid to awesome that is a great FF movie. Oh, and we recorded a bonus podcast as well for subscribers. Check it all out.

Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss)

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, in 1992 Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas, where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this paradise you see before you. Follow Chris on Twitter and Facebook and check out his Amazon Wish List.

 

 

Ben Glasthal (Highly Suspect Review, Screener Squad, Breakfast Pub, Unstabletop Gamers, Video and Audio Editor, Assistant Site Manager)

Born in Boston, then ending up in Dallas, Texas in the early 2000s, Ben has always had a passion for film. He started in film school not long after where he launched MovieReelizations.com where he still writes reviews to this day. He’s since moved to Austin where he has been also hopping on podcasts and both editing and shooting videos for One of Us. A fan of films from almost all genres, and many that predate him more than makes sense, he is anything if not eclectic in what he’s watching at any point. For the rest of his free time, he can be found biking, drinking craft beer, being an amateur photographer, and playing video games by himself or on Twitch. He’s best found on Instagram or Twitter as @MovieReelBen.
