You're waiting for a train, you think you know where this train will take you...

It's funny that almost every time I blog, something from Inception is thrown in there somewhere. In other words, you really have to see Inception!

Well this time Inception has been tossed into the blog about Unstoppable. Just got a chance to see it at a dollar theater, and I was a little skeptical about it actually; especially because The Social Network was also playing there and I totally wanted to see that on a big screen (not that a big screen would change it very much) just so I could say I did so.

Okay, Unstoppable (I know, I'm totally gonna start throwing shout-outs for The Social Network too) is a movie about one minor accident that turned into something huge. I know I know, it's been done to death, but hey, I didn't know it was coming before I went into the theater. Anyway, Denzel Washington and Chris Pine star as a train driver and a train conductor. Now something that was interesting to me was the fact that I had no idea whatsoever what was involved in being a train driver or conductor. So the movie was like a little lesson as well as a thriller.

The thing I didn't like about this movie was that the only reason Denzel Washington was in this was to attract an audience. I hate it when movies do this: they take a typical little story line, place a huge movie star in the star role, and get millions of people to see it just for a couple of joke that were Mr. Washington's kind of humor. Honestly, anyone can play the proud old guy that wants to make the new guy prove himself. I can't believe I'm saying this: Nicolas Cage could play that kind of role!

Now on the other hand, Denzel Washington did a great job. I don't want to take away from this too much, but it just makes me mad that he was in the movie. Now you Denzel fans would say he should have been in that movie, he was fantastic; I don't disagree, but the fact that someone would be mad that I would suggest getting someone else just means they only saw the movie cause he was in it. Case closed.

Now you may ask, well should I see this movie? The answer is: I'm not going to say, I'm not happy I didn't miss the opportunity to it i theaters, but I'm not sad either. I'm just glad I didn't use 10 dollars if that helps.
