Though I think Monster is showing near me soon so I'll give that a shot :)<br />I agree that LA2011 looks pretty damn good too.<br />I wasn't too keen on Unstoppable when looking at the poster/synopsis, but if it's plain popcorn action type stuff then I'll give it a shot.Jamie Gibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168603412367448706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-51225335848618569172010-11-17T15:24:14.266-05:002010-11-17T15:24:14.266-05:00Hi Alex, I'm new to your site.

I might give it a shot on rental. <br /><br />Good thing you didn't see Skyline, a friend of mine had been anticipating it and was extremely disappointed.

It's about as bad as you'd expect, yet enjoyable because of that fact. That is, until the last few minutes, when it really outdoes itself, and goes from laughable to WTF.<br /><br />I'd have chosen Unstoppable myself, but it was my brother's birthday. I've been hoping for years my taste in movies would rub off on him, but yeah, not chance.Nate Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690171790664252309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-39022749924395183052010-11-15T19:32:59.990-05:002010-11-15T19:32:59.990-05:00I saw Unstoppable this weekend, too and really enj...I saw Unstoppable this weekend, too and really enjoyed it!<br /><br />Forgive the lateness, but HUGE CONGRATULATIONS on your book publication.
