February 2011 Books and Movies

Not sure how I went away for the entire month of January and managed to have so many books and movies (well having the time on the plane helped) and only a single movie for February, but here it is.

Unstoppable

Really good. Much better than Speed, mostly because it's based on a true story of a runaway train and doesn't have a terrorist twist. And stars Denzel Washington instead of Keannu Reaves. :) Very suspenseful, and excellently shot. It's quite incredible that they were able to keep a single plot line going for the entire film. It was interesting to see the perfect storm of events that lead to the driverless train barrelling towards a large populated area. If you like action movies, but not a lot of blood and gore, this is one to see.
