Unstoppable

 Apparently based on true events, this movie is about a conducter of a train who messes up and get's off the train to try to fix the problem but does not make it back on the train on time so the train starts accelerating to about 70 miles per hour carrying explosive material. The other part of the story stars Denzel Washinton and Chris Pine (from Star Trek.) Washington is a 28 year veteran and Pine is new on the job. They are conducting a train and make several attempts to stop the train before it hit's a major town and could kill many lives. This is a well acted movie with smart dialogue. A pretty intense movie. Not much more to say without giving away too much.
Grade B+

The final destination

 The fourth installment in the series. Very predictable since it follow's the same rules as the previews three. I don't think I remember any of the character's names. It starts out at a race track and one of the guy's has a premonition of a crash that's going to kill alot of people. He get's his friend's out in time but then they start to die one by one. Same plotline as the original three and probably the worst one. Some cool death scene's but that's about it. The acting ,of course, was not good at all and the dialogue was somewhere just above the line of mentally challenged. If you're into these movies then see it just because. For me it was a waste of 78 minutes of my time.
Grade: C
