Stop The Runaway Train Before Its Too Late
I have seen this movie about 6-7 times now. Each time i watch it, its a good time. The action, the drama and the suspense. Both Denzel and Chris do a excellent job in ths film which is inspired by true events.

The plot: When a massive, unmanned locomotive roars out of control, the threat is more ominous than just a derailment. The train is laden with toxic chemicals, and an accident would decimate human life and cause an environmental disaster. The only hope of bringing the train to a safe stop is in the hands of a veteran engineer (Denzel Washington) and a young conductor (Chris Pine), who must risk their lives to save those in the runaway's path. Inspired by true events.

Its a good movie.

Great actors
Great crime thriller
A very good film, if slightly drawn out, that follows the story of the Zodiac killer of the 70's around San Francisco. The fact it is all based on true events and evidence will hook you in even more. It can be a bit slow but if you like cat and mouse thrillers you should like this.

Didn't think this movie would amount to much and was pleasantly surprised by the story which was cleverly marketed as based on true events.
All here are amazing with stand outs from Harrelson and McDormand who are both very believable and their characters fleshed out.
A little uneven in places, but the story telling is still quite compelling.

OK low budget horror
A true less is more film. In terms of budget and the scares. The film is more creepy than anything else, a lot is left to the viewers imagination, which probably adds to the intensity. Most of it is viewed from the cameras point of view and has that home made movie feel to it, which adds realism which also adds to the scare factor. At first I didn't know if this was suppose to based on true events or not, so with that at the back of my mind made it more creepy as well, but it turns out it just likes you to think that is the case. The build up to the bigger events will make you think OMG or make you jump a bit. You'll definitely be listening out for every creek and thud at night after watching!!

Good morning, wonderful people! This feels like a very good description of the books that stay with you the longest-not necessarily the ones with the grandest plots or the most dramatic events, but the ones that find something true and surprising in the everyday and make you see it as if for the first time.

Have a Thoughtful Thursday. Take care and stay safe. 💙
