Michael and I went to see Unstoppable this weekend and it was really good - surprisingly artistic. It definitely evoked the mood and ambience of the industrial northeast, and brought the whole subculture of the railways to life. I always like a movie that introduces me to a subculture.
Denzel Washington was good - as usual - and the action was non stop. Good plot, based on a true story, and decent character development as well.
Worth the money.
We also watched "New Orleans Animal Rescue" (from Netflix) which is a documentary about the animal rescue efforts after Katrina. If you are an animal lover, you'll enjoy the movie. It didn't dwell on the sadness of all the displaced pets, though it did give disturbing figures. The movie focused on the positives of re united pets and owners, pet adoption, altruism, and the sweet nature of dogs and cats for the most part.
