Just read your review in the Naples Florida Weekly on the new movie "Unstoppable" and I disagree. I thought it was exactly what it was...a good action movie. Not great but better than any of the childish trash that proceeded it in the previews.  Maybe you have never been around trains, except for the silly/ridiculous part where the engine is going around a curve on two wheels it was a lot more believable that the vast majority of what passes for action movies these days. You couldn't understand why they wasted time (a couple minutes of guy talk) developing the story. It is called plot development. I guess if it doesn't have space ships, race cars or aliens shooting silly looking weapons every 5 seconds it isn't an action movie. You must spend way too much time playing video games as that garbage seems to be your idea of action. Frank and Will were kept away from the main story line for so long because...if they had caught it the movie would have been over...get it. It wasn't all about them; it wasn't 'My Dinner with Andre' with trains.

You're the one whose picture is in the paper, you somehow climbed that mountain. But somehow I just can't help feel that the only movies you like appeal to Jr High kids..BOOM, WOW, BANG. If this movie was not exciting enough for you (and it certainly was for the audience in which we sat) then you must be living on Red Bull and greenies.

You know what? Other reviewers liked it a lot. It was an escape and somewhat believable, and that is enough.

You can keep your Avitar, your Star Wars silly movies, I'll take anything Michael Mann, the Coen Brothers, or John Demme directs anyday.

I don't write anonymous letters.
