Stormbreaker - movie review
Stormbreaker – starring Alex Pettyfer, Ewan McGregor, Robbie Coltrane & Mickey Rourke. Alex, the young guy has lost his parents when he was young & was brought up by his uncle whom travels worldwide a lot. Unknowingly to Alex at his young age, he was being nurtured as a spy for MI6, the same secret intelligence organization for James Bond. This show was better than the latest Casino Royale in terms of gadgets used by spies.In his mission, Alex impersonated a computer geek that won a contest organized by the creator of Stormbreaker software for schools. He has to penetrate the creator’s, Darius Sayle, headquarters to check on their facilities and what they are up to. A nice movie with fighting scenes choreographed by Donnie Yen, one of the skilled kung fu masters and a friend of Jet Li. Alex was to stop the Stormbreaker computer from being launched that could trigger the death of schoolchildren who were witnessing the launch live on TV with the Stormbreaker. Time was not on Alex's advantage and numerous obstacles along the way delayed him.

Transportation in Germany
Sometimes I don't understand how can 2 trains collide when there are 2 different rail tracks to operate on. I guess it goes down to human errors at times. But I have to give kudos to the rail attendants at the Frankfurt train stations (pic below) as I'm very sure they have to be on their toes in every day of their work schedule.
