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

'Skyline' Movie Delivered Lots Of Intense Action & Thrills

By Ryan Smith


Universal Pictures recently released a new sci-fi/thriller movie "Skyline" into theaters a couple months ago. I just checked it out. While it was exciting to watch,all the action and "edge of your seat scenes" lead up to no payoff in the end. It was very odd. It stars: Eric Balfour, Donald Faison, Scottie Thompson,and Brittany Daniel.

"Skyline" centered around a group of six partying guys and girls who have a great time at first,but the next morning, everything changes as crazy lights and noises wake everyone up. Eventually, they realize this new,weird light isn't good. In fact, it controls anyone who looks at it,and sucks them away to only God knows where.

The group of friends start to immediately panic,and try to carry out a plan that involved getting in the car,and making a run for it. However they quickly find out that isn't a good idea as the giant alien creatures show up everywhere,and they're not friendly. The group of friends start getting killed until they dwindle down to just two people Jarrod and Elaine.

Elaine and Jarrod emerge as the main focus of the movie,but are not victorious. They run around all over the place,trying to fight off the seemingly invulnerable creatures,along with the military forces that have been brought in to help fight as well.

This crazy flick featured a ton of thrilling,graphic moments like people getting captured by the creature,heads being separated from bodies,Jarrod fighting really hard to save the woman he loves,lots of guns being fired,and bombs going off.

The movie ended with a very strange conclusion,which revealed what the aliens were doing on their spaceship,but it had absolutely no victorious payoff at all for the two friends who were left. It was a very odd way to end a high,action thriller such as this. When I tried to exit the theater, I heard a lady say, "I want my money back." It definitely was not a typical ending for a thriller movie,and was pretty disappointing for me. However, everything before that was really cool to watch,and it was never boring the entire time. I gave this movie a B-.

'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+.
