So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

'Unstoppable' Movie Review

By Chris Smith


'Unstoppable' action/drama movie was recently released into theaters by 20th Century Fox two months ago. I finally got to watch it,and must say that it was a very,very good movie.

I liked this entire movie from beginning to end. It delivered a lot of "edge of your seat" scenes,along with high drama and action. The flick stars: Denzel Washington, Chris Pine, Rosario Dawson,and Kevin Chapman.

The film is based on real facts that actually happened and revolved around Frank (Denzel Washington) and Will (Chris Pine). The two of them get off too a bumpy start because Frank is a bit upset that they're giving all the good jobs to the new younger guys. However, they manage to get along well enough to get the train moving on its proper course.

In another area,a very immature train driver named Dewey decides to hop off his train while it's still moving so he can pull a switch. Needless to say, the train gets away from him with the air breaks detached and the controls are set to full throttle. Character Connie, who is the railroad controller,is made aware of the situation and tries to set some stops in place.

The train eventually picks up too much speed for any stop to work. Corporate ignores the advice from Connie to derail the train before it gets to the crowded town areas. They send in people to try and slow it down from the front,but that fails horribly,and the train continues to head for a major disaster.

Will and Frank end up deciding to go after the unmanned train on their own. They try to stop it from the back with a single car train. However, after a huge effort to attach themselves to the train,they realize that it has way too much power for them to stop it.

Frank and Will ended up climbing over train cars. Then they pulled the breaks on each car,individually. Finally,they made their way to front to stop the train that was full of very flammable explosives while being covered by many TV news stations. I really liked this film.

It was very simple and to the point. A dangerous unmanned train was on the loose, they needed to stop it. They did it in a very high intense,dramatic fashion that left me saying, "Wow, that was awesome." I gave this movie a definite A+.
