FlixChatter Review: Furious 7
"I don't have friends, I got family" That line by Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), the patriarch of the 'Fast & Furious' family, sums up the familial theme that runs through this franchise.

I was pretty excited to finally watch this movie. I'm not usually into silent films, but this one came highly recommended.

FlixChatter Review: FRANK (2014)
Jon, a young wanna-be musician, discovers he's bitten off more than he can chew when he joins an eccentric pop band led by the mysterious and enigmatic Frank.
