"Wow" did this movie suck, or "wow" was this movie good?

Wow it was good.

 

[stevetheupsguy]

Wow it was good.

From the previews, I assumed it was just a movie about a runaway train. Are you saying there's more to it than meets the eye?

Rosario Dawson is in it. Wow, nuff said.

Any wardrobe malfunctions?

Any wardrobe malfunctions?

She is but she looks nothing like this in the movie.

The movie, which is based on true events, starts when a couple of railroad yard workers fail to follow proper procedures when shifting in the yard. The situation escalates, the company downplays it, and the hero takes the matter into his own hands.

The special effects are amazing, Denzel is Denzel--a must see in the theater, unless you have blu-ray and surround sound.

I am on vacation this week and there are a few movies that I have been waiting until now to see. I saw "Unstoppable" yesterday and saw "The Next Three Days" today. Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Hanks work well together in this one. It was a very good movie with a good mix of drama and action. This one can wait for your Netflix.

I re-watched "Space Balls" yesterday and can affirm that anything Mel Brooks has ever touched is awesome.

Mel Brooks is a nut. I was always amazed that he was married to such a classy broad.

Brooks is a member of the short list of entertainers with the distinction of having won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony award. That's one small club!

 

[fxdwg]

Every Mel movie was a winner (from an entertainment perspective).

Funny stuff!

Today's kids do not get "innuendo" and "allegory".

I`m starting to see a pattern in your viewing habits. Not that I blame you.

Some of "Unstoppable" was filmed around my area. I guess I'll go see it this weekend while my wife takes our grandaughters to the movies for a chick flick.

Have you ever seen the elevated S-turn heading in to Stanton? This plays a major role in the movie.

Unfortunately for most of the movie she looks nothing like this.

I am a Russell Crowe fan, whether as a journalist, Robin Hood or a professor turned criminal.

....or a Master and Commander.

Me too.

I guess "Brilliant Minds" think alike.

His first American role in "The Quick and the Dead" made for a fun western.
