Unstoppable: (official site)
Train A loaded full of kids leaves the station heading east going 40 miles per hours. Â At the same time Train B loaded full of deadly chemicals leaves the station heading west going 100 miles per hour with no breaks. Â With both trains on the same track and neither one able to switch, how long will it take Denzel Washington and Chris Pine to save the day? Â If your answer is between 90 minutes and 2 hours, you are correct! Â Despite what at first glance (and second glance and third glance, and pretty much every glance, long look or deep meaningful stare) appears to be a silly silly movie, it does look like it will be full of action and excitement. Â And honestly, Denzel is fun to watch even when he’s chewing scenery in bad films. Â There must have eleven thousand free screenings of this film and I didn’t manage to get into a single one. Â I really want to see this film, but that said I probably won’t catch it in the theater. Â It will move straight to the top of my Netflix queue the moment it is available.

This movie looks funny and heart warming. Â If the wife were to pick a movie to see this weekend, this would be it. Â And I won’t even pretend to not want to see it. Â The critics who don’t like it are saying things like it being “derivative” and “pandering to the lowest common denominator” which pretty much means that your average movie goer, the lowest common denominator who actually likes seeing the same stories told over and over in new settings with new actors, will love this film.

I want to play this game. Â What? Â It’s a movie? Â Well, it looks cool, I guess. Â No, seriously… this movie looks like a video game. Â Aliens attack and you spend the next ten hours plastered to your TV with a controller in your hand trying to escape from and ultimately defeat the invaders. Â If I were to pick a movie to see this weekend, this would be it. Â But I may not need to as supposedly Skyline is part of a deal with Netflix to bring theatrical releases to Netflix sooner. Â So I may save my $10 and wait for Netflix. Â Or maybe I won’t. Â We’ll just have to see…
