TCP#4 - SPEED

It's Tuesday Couch Potatoes once again and this week theme is Sandra Bullock movies. I have seen quite a bit of Sandra Bullock movies, One I like was the Lake house and as expected a lot of the TCP participants love that said movie. I like the Miss Congeniality 1 and 2, While you were sleeping, Practical magic, murder by numbers, ya-ya sisterhood, hope floats, The Net, Two weeks notice and more. I am a big fan of Sandra Bullock in general. Now here is my entry the "Speed" starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. I have seen the first Speed many times and I like it better than the second one.



Speed is a 1994 Oscar-winning film directed by Jan de Bont, starring Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock (her breakout role), Jeff Daniels and Dennis Hopper. Written by Graham Yost, the story is about a Los Angeles police officer (Reeves) who has to stop an insane bomber/extortionist (Hopper) who has rigged a bomb on a public transit bus (a Santa Monica Intercity Bus Lines GM TDH-5303 New Look bus, which looks similar to City of Santa Monica Big Blue Bus). The film is often cited as an excellent example of a high concept film: "a bomb on a bus."
