My Thoughts:
After enjoying the first one more then I thought I would I had to give this one a chance. While still an entertaining film... it is a rather large step down in quality of the story.

Unstoppable, a review by Dragonfire
Unstoppable
I went to go see Unstoppable a few weeks ago. The story is inspired by real events. I read about the real events after seeing the movie, and some things have been changed for the movie. The setting is changed from Ohio to Pennsylvania, and it seems like things have been exaggerated to add tension and drama to what is going on. Most of the movie is focused on the attempts to deal with the runaway train.
Things get off to a slightly slower start as the characters are introduced and the situation with the train is set up. It is just a fluke that allows the train to leave the rail yard. It does take them a while to figure out that the train has picked up speed instead of just coasting. Another train, with Will and Frank on board, barely misses a collision with the runaway train. After other attempts to stop the train fail, Will and Frank put their own plan into dealing with it in motion.
Most of the movie has a fairly fast pace as things tied to the runaway train are dealt with. There is a little action in a few scenes that is done well. Jerky camera work does turn up in a few scenes, usually when some kind of action is happening. I find that really annoying since it makes it harder for me to be able to tell what is going on.
The characters are interesting, though they aren't that developed. Denzil Washington and Chris Pine do really well with their parts.
Overall I really enjoyed Unstoppable and think it is worth checking out.
I did get a longer review posted on Epinions.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
When a brash street kid from Philly moves to a Left Coast zip code even posher than 90210, cultures are sure to clash. But not to worry. The kid is Will Smith, and he'll have Bel-Air bustin' a move in no time! Smith was already a Grammy-winning rap artist when he shot to acting renown as the smart, wisecracking urban teen who's sent to live with wealthy relatives in an area so exclusive a former President drops in to share some Christmas cheer. This 4-disc DVD collection features lively bonus material plus all 24 Season-One Episodes, from Will's first day at the country club (which one is the fish fork?) to his first day at Bel-Air Prep School (sort of homeboy meets Harvard). When it comes to comedy, Fresh Prince rules!
The Fresh Prince Project
Will comes to live with his aunt and uncle in Bel-Air. Philip isn't too impressed by Will's behavior, especially teaching Ashley to rap and ruining his image with the members of the law firm. Vivian tries to remain neutral in all this. Carlton and Hilary look at Will with disdain.
My Thoughts:
I haven't watched this show in quite a while. So today I am reminded how funny this show is. One of these days I will have to get more season sets in my collection. As of now I only have the first season. This pilot episode is a good introduction to the characters. And I found myself laughing more then once.
