Liam Neeson’s “Taken” out on DVD/Blu Ray NOW!!!

Leave a comment

Liam Neeson’s excellent action flick, “Taken” is out on DVD/Blu Ray today. I think I’m going to go grab a copy of the DVD from Kmart after work tonight. This is a really good action movie and I would suggest you buy or rent this movie too.

Over mother’s day weekend, I picked up a brand new home theater system, a Samsung brand, which sounds really amazing. I officially have my own home theater. Flat screen 32″ LCD TV, and a home theater surround sound. It almost makes me never want to go to the theaters at the mall and just wait for all the movies to come out on DVD now, I don’t know yet.

The home theater surround sound is much louder than the movie theaters at the malls. When you watch action movies, it makes the gun shots and explosion scenes so loud, you can feel the floor vibrate, it’s fuckin’ awesome!

I can’t wait to watch “Taken” on my new surround sound system.

Why didn’t I start a Blu Ray collection yet? I don’t think I ever will. I think I’m going to stick with DVD. There really is no difference between the two anyway. Blu Ray just makes the sound and picture a little bit better, that’s all. I’ll start a Blu Ray collection when the prices go down and when DVD stops selling in the market for good which this won’t happen for a really long while.

Confirmed: Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson joins “Clash of the Titans” remake…

Leave a comment

Actors Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson once teamed up for Steven Spielberg’s “Schindler’s List”, they are reuniting to star in the, “Clash of the Titans” remake. Liam is set to play Zues, and Ralph is set to play Hades, who are the rulers of the Underworld.

I think Liam will still do the movie. I don’t see him pulling out. If he were to pull out of the film, he would have done so a long time ago, but he hasn’t yet. So that’s a good sign that he may still do the film.

BREAKING NEWS: Liam Neeson goes back to acting right away, finishes his recent film, “Chloe”…

2 Comments

Actor Liam Neeson is a pretty amazing guy to stay strong and return to work as soon as possible, after the tragic death of his wife Natasha Richardson. After a very brief hiatus from film, Liam just finished filming his next movie, “Chloe”. Look like he’s going back to work after all and maybe he won’t turn down the “Clash of the Titans” remake and may still do it.

I think Liam is moving forward in his career ’cause he’s giving what his wife would want. I think Natasha would want him to move forward in his career, and he’s probably doing this for her since she was an actress herself.

Good for Liam for staying strong and positive.

Report: Liam Neeson to take a long hiatus from film?

22 Comments

Due to the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson, Liam Neeson announced he is putting his film career on hold. His latest movie that he starred the leading role in the action/thriller, “Taken”, he will do no more films after that. He is set to do future projects, but he will have to drop out of them. This hiatus will only be temporary but not permanent. No word on how long Liam will take a hiatus, but he can take all the time off he needs. He can even retire from Hollywood if that’s what is best for himself and his family.

Why do bad things happen to good people? Stay strong, Liam buddy. That man will be heartbroken and depressed for the rest of his life now. He’ll never get over this, just like John Travolta will never get over the death of his son.

These celebrities and movie stars don’t need to keep working over the death of a family. The same goes for Jennifer Hudson. I don’t know why she continues to do music with losing her family members, but she does anyways. Her hiatus from her career was very short.

John Travolta and Liam Neeson’s hiatus will probably be a long one. I feel bad for Liam. Liam and Natasha seems like a very happy couple, Natasha was a very beautiful woman for her age too. RIP, Natasha.

Report: Liam Neeson’s “Taken” destroys box office Friday opening day…

Leave a comment

As expected, Liam Neeson’s “Taken” is so far ahead in the box office opening, scoring a whopping 9.5 million. It’s no surprise. Liam Neeson is a legendary veteran actor who barely ever stars in leading roles. Most of his roles are supporting roles or small roles. I expect this film to make a little over 30 million tomorrow. The movie will be a hit. It’s a badass film. It’s great, check it out if you haven’t yet. You’ll have fun.

Film Review: Taken

Leave a comment

 

Starring: Liam Neeson, Famke Janssen

Directed by: Pierre Moral

So I just got back from seeing the movie “Taken” this afternoon and here is my review.

Plot/synopsis: Liam Neeson stars as a single father and divorced man named Bryan Mills, he is also a retired government operative. The movie begins as a happy family film where Bryan goes to his daughter’s Kim’s birthday party to celebrate her 17th birthday. She wanted to become a famous singer which is her dream, so Bryan does his best to help make her dream come true by getting help from a famous pop star who Bryan becomes friends with.

Kim and Bryan’s ex-wife reveals to him that Kim wants to take a vacation to Paris, France. Bryan later learns that Kim is not just going to Paris, she is travelling all over Europe so she can follow the European tour of her favorite band U2. When Bryan finally allows her to go to Paris, Kim is kidnapped by gangsters as soon as she arrives there.

This angers Bryan so much that he can’t help himself but go out and find his daughter himself and kill the men who took her. Bryan is all about revenge in this movie.

Jason Bourne. James Bond. MOVE OVER!!!! We have a new action hero on the way. He is Liam Neeson. You love movies with intense violence and non stop action all the way through? Go see this! This movie will seriously kick your ass!!! Liam Neeson is not much of an action movie man because he mostly done dramas and serious films over the years. Liam is fuckin’ bad ass in this film!!

Lots of brutal fist fight scenes and incredible car chases that will take you at the edge of your seat the entire time!!! Liam’s acting in this film is so awesome in this film. I wish the film could be longer. I felt the film went by too quick and was a short movie, 90 minutes full of violence and thrills.

The writing was good, cinematography was good, scoring of the music was good, stunts were good, etc. Just a great movie all around. I think it’s one of the best new action movies in a long time. Honestly though, I can definitely see Sly Stallone starring in a movie like this, it would have been a perfect film for Sly. Liam still did a great job though.

Go see this, if you like edge of your seat action flicks, this film will send chills down your spine, trust me!!!

Score for “Taken” = **** (4 stars as in “Excellent”)

I will see the movie “Taken” next…

Leave a comment

I will see the action thriller “Taken” that stars Liam Neeson, a film about a former government operative who goes out to find his kidnapped daughter himself and seek revenge on her kidnapper. It looks like a pretty sweet flick, very short movie, it’s only an hour and a half long but I’m sure the flick will be entertaining. I like Liam Neeson and this guy don’t star in leading roles that much. I plan to see this movie tomorrow afternoon and will review it tomorrow evening. I hope it’s good and doesn’t dissapoint.
