Movie Review: "Fast Five"


         So I got to see a premier showing of "Fast Five" yesterday and though I wasn't blown away, I did come out of the movie satisfied by what I saw. The movie delivers in all the ways you would expect, there are tons of racing scenes, tons of cars shown, explosions, epic fight between Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Vin Diesel, complete with a bit of romance and a robbery. Some minor problems in story line is the re-introduction of Han. Han dies in F&F3 so the only way to make this movie make sense would be to put this one before three, thus this movie is a prequel to three and so making F&F3 really the fifth installment, F&F4 the third, and leaving this movie as the fourth in the chronology.
        Alright, now that we've gotten all that out of the way, all that is left is the "over the top" stunt scenes. When you have a main character jump out of a moving car at 200 MPH you should have him get up from the asphalt with a few scraps and bruises...not in this movie. Our guys do incredible stunts that would kill a mere mortal man and come out of it as Greek gods would, with no scratches or burns. If you can get over this fact, which most of us can quickly, then the movie was a good time waster and delivered everything we wanted it to deliver. I give it a 4/5.

      Ah, it's friday. Take a second to stop everything you're doing and repeat after me, "Ah, it's Friday", no Zen phrase has the power this phrase has.

        We hope you all have a great weekend and look forward to seeing you all next week. Be sure to stay tuned for more So Danca news, dance world news, entertaining articles and more! ^_^

An Evening with Anne Polajenko: "What's in a name?"

            Pointe shoes are traditionally named after a ballet, a famous dancer of the past or sometimes manufacturers will use a ballet term, such as "relevé" or "équilibre" to describe their shoe.
Recently, So'Dança named some of their  Pointe shoes in honor of current teachers and ballerinas. Such is the case with Toshie ( the new SD40 with a no pleat platform). So who is Toshie?
            Toshie Kobayashi is a Brazilian teacher of Japanese descent. She is one of the most recognized and popular teachers and coaches in her country. Toshie teaches at her own school and at the Municipal school in Sao Paulo. A great deal of her time is spent traveling to companies and dance festivals across the country. She is also a member of the Royal Academy of Dance in London, England.
              Toshie is a great favorite among dancers because of the enthusiasm she brings to her craft as well as the loving and supportive attitude she has toward all who work with her.
