Unstoppable (2010)


Unstoppable is a drama about a runaway train carrying a cargo of toxic chemicals. Pits an engineer and his conductor in a race against time. They're chasing the runaway train in a separate locomotive and need to bring it under control before it derails on a curve and causes a toxic spill that will decimate a town.

Written by IMDB

Unstoppable is a fantastic movie. I loved every miniute of it. It is all based on a true story and the above summary done by IMDB is very acurate. Both Denzel Washington and Chris Pine are fantastic actors and are very good in these roles. There is not much else to say about this movie as it is summerised above.

All in all i give it an 8.5 out of 10

Come back for more next time.

Skyline

Strange lights descend on the city of Los Angeles, drawing people outside like moths to a flame where an extraterrestrial force threatens to swallow the entire human population off the face of the Earth.  



Skyline is a movie that is primarily visual effects. It was done by the Brothers Strause. The storyline it self had points where it was a little boring but all in all it was a typical movie of its type (predictable and about human several). All though i agree with the story in some parts (if aliens did come they would kill us all) the ending did surprise me. The way the Brothers Strause twisted the aliens into needing us in order to live and actually walk around was good but there was one part of the movie where the alien had it's brain (from a human) pulled out but was still managing to walk around.

All in all i give the movie 9 out of 10 for visuall effects but a 2 out of 10 for everything else.

Smallville Season 3


Hey all, welcome back. It is Smallville time.

We are doing season 3 now.

Season three follows Clark's constant fight against the destiny that his biological father, Jor-El, has in-store for him, and his guilt over the price Jonathan paid to bring him back to Smallville. Lex deals with the psychological breakdown he had when stranded on a deserted island, while the conflict between him and his father comes to a final blow. Clark's secret begins to weigh heavily on Pete, and the relationship between Clark and Lana hits a dead end.

I have to say Michael Rosenbaum (who plays Lex) is a fantastic actor.

All in all i give it4 out of 5

Stay tuned for season 4...

Smallville Season 2

Hey all, we are back with season 2 of Smallville.

Season two picks up directly where season one left off, with Clark (Welling) dealing with the aftermath of the tornadoes that hit Smallville. This season, Clark finally learns who he is and where he comes from, but must also acknowledge a potential destiny set into motion by his biological father that could change his life and the lives of those around him forever. Clark's relationship with Lana Lang (Kreuk) becomes increasingly closer, straining his friendship with Chloe Sullivan (Mack). Clark's best friend, Pete Ross (Jones III), learns Clark's secret this season.

All in all this season was ok and was very story driven. I will give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. Probably needs a little more action.

Stay tuned for season 3...

Smallville Season 1


I have just finished downloading and watching Smallville season one and i have my review/impressions on the show.

The 1st season kicks off with a meteor shower (just like the comics) with the Kents finding Clark. Through out the season we find Clark coming to grips with his new powers and trying to fit in with the rest of the town called Smallville. At the start Clark becomes freinds with Lex but Lex is always suspicious of Clark. Through out this season we are shown a freak of the week where a new person with powers comes to the scene where one of the group is attacked and Clark saves the day. Also a major part of the season is Clark trying to keep his secret from the world. The season ends with Lana under attack from a tornado and Clark going to save her.

All in all i think this is a great show. It is a good watch for both guys and girls. So far this season is probably a 4 out of 5 stars

Stay tuned for season 2...
