This Year, Night Catches Unstoppable Colored Girls Faster. The upcoming holiday motion picture season brings forth a nice mix of some of our favorite Black artists in a variety of films with appeal for both your cerebral and visceral natures.
In theater one, Denzel’s back in a taut thriller, while Janet Jackson, Loretta Devine and Phylicia Rashad headline Tyler Perry’s version of a beloved Broadway classic in theater two. Dwayne Johnson, the actor formerly known as “The Rock”, switches out of comedy mode for a minute to go blasting his way through a hot action flick in theater three. Meanwhile, in theater four, Anthony Mackie and Kerry Washington’s holiday vehicle is sure to be on everyone’s short list for recognition during the upcoming awards season.
1. Unstoppable finds Denzel Washington working for a railroad company frantically working to prevent an unmanned, half-mile-long freight train carrying combustible liquids and poisonous gas from wiping out a city. As veteran locomotive engineer “Frank Barnes”, Washington desperately chases the runaway train in a locomotive in an attempt to bring the runaway under control before it is too late. Rosario Dawson is featured as the dispatcher keeping Washington’s character “Barnes”, uh, “on track”.
