Unstoppable (2010)
Good but nothing compare to Speed.
This movie is just like a second rated version of the movie "Speed". It has all the elements including the excitement that keep you clue to your chair until the end of the show. With such acting crews like Denzel Washington, Chris Pine and Rasario Dawson, it certainly make the movie looks better. However, lack of quality screen plays lower the overall quality of the movie.
I don't like the plot how the train got loose in the first place. I am sure there are many other better ways to make it more convincing. To make Will (Chris Pine) jumped into the truck driven by Ned (Lew Temple) so that Will could be driven from the coach at the back of the train to the front coach was just too much. To me, it is a cheap plot to make a hero out of Will as well to justify Ned's role of chasing the train in the first place. It is as if there is no other way to get an experience locomotive engineer into the train as well there is nobody who can figure out to drive a vehicle to run parallel with the train so that he can drop an locomotive engineer into the train to take control of the train.
However, if you can see beyond the above mentioned, this is still a very entertaining movie.
Skyline (2010)
Still wondering what the movie is all about after the show
After the movie has ended, I was still wondering what the movie is all about.
It started quite spectacularly and I must admit I was quite impress with the special effect. However, after a few minutes into the movie, I was just looking forward for the movie to end as soon as possible. If we were asked to judge on the special effect in the movie, I would have given them an above average score. But when come to story line, plots and acting, I just don't know what they are trying to sell to us. they are way below average. 4.5 rating for this movie is just overrated. 2 should be a fare representation.
No I would not recommend anyone to watch this movie. To me it is a complete waste of time and money.
They Wait (2007)
They wait review
I usually don't enjoy watching horror movies. So I seldom make a point to watch. This one I somehow watch it by accident and I must admit that I was surprised with the quality of the story line, plots and also the acting.
For those who don't understand Chinese culture particularly about ghost festival you may learn something from this movie although the major part of the movie were exaggerated. I totally agreed that the review of 4.5 were not doing justice to this movie. It is certainly much more than that. Certainly not 10 of 10 but it should be quite high up there.
Do I recommend anyone to watch this movie? I would give a big YES especially those who love to ghost movies.
