Fury the Road

"Mad Max: Fury Road"! What a joy and a pleasure! Not a lot here to not like. Sure, it's little more than a high-speed road trip, but who cares with visuals like these! Also: It's not a story about Mad Max or the future. It's a story about women. Women warriors, really. It made me want to chop off half my arm and cut off almost all my hair, so I, too, can be a Charlizeian. I loved: water is the new oil, the world hath forsaken us, ladies as slaves to their bodies, unabashed head-smashing violence, the coolest cars you'll ever see, and tumorish diseases. In a way, "Fury Road" is a lot like a porn movie: Men? Yeah, well, they're kind of irrelevant.
