In Theaters: April 3, 2015

I was born in April and I get an early birthday present this year.  There is only ONE wide release this weekend.  None dare compete against . . . 

Furious 7

I'm pretty excited for this one.  To be honest, I'm more excited for this than I am for Age of Ultron.  There is also a tragic and sentimental X-Factor to this release, as The Fast and the Furious was Paul Walker's big break, and this is the last movie of that franchise to star Paul Walker.

That's not the only wild card.  Justin Lin directed 3, 4, 5, and 6 of this franchise.  James Wan took over for 7.  He's untested in the action world (albeit he is a very big name in horror these days).  Even so I'm very excited for this movie.  It should be good.

Also worth noting - the action sequence that people are already talking about - the one with the cars going out the back of an airplane - that was filmed in the great state of Arizona.  And they really dropped cars from a plane.  They did it for real.

As for the plot, the brother of the villain from Fast & Furious 6 is out for revenge.

Furious 7 is rated PG-13 for prolonged frenetic sequences of violence, action and mayhem, suggestive content and brief strong language.
