Taken

With it's DVD release today i have just seen the movie Taken for the first time. Almost every review I've seen has said that it has horrible plot lines and is hard to follow because of this. For those people I will just say one thing, "fucking morons". This movie is fantastic. It shows Liam Neeson basically being the best father in the world. He goes across the ocean to save his daughter from being kidnapped. Without giving anything away, I will just say that the movie has tremendous acting from both Liam and the people he beats the shit out of. He is a man on a mission. His mission is to basically beat the hell out of everyone in Europe until he finds his daughter. And within this movie he basically does beat the hell out of everyone in Europe. I recommend this movie to anyone that likes action, or Liam Neeson, or just anyone wanting to see someone get the shit kicked out of them in creative ways.

Sunday Afternoon TV Movies

Sunday rolls around and it's time to rest up and get ready for work on Monday. Sunday's are usually spent doing 1 of 3 things: 1) spending time with the family; 2) doing homework that you were too lazy to do; or 3) fighting off a hangover. Well my sunday usually consists of #3 and the best way to do that is to drink a soda, watch an awesome Sunday TV movie, and fall asleep during it.

This week was the classic 1988 film that was a romantic comedy, Cocktail. This movie stars a very young Tom Cruise and a very sexy Elisabeth Shue. The movie consists of Tom Cruise being a young army veteran that returns to New York City and is striving to be a millionaire bartender. This movie has everything that you would want in a Sunday Afternoon TV Movie: Sex, Suspense, Corniness, and the ability to put you asleep when sleep is everything that you want.

I strongly suggest finding this movie on cable television next weekend!
