NBFF 2017 Review: The Scent Of Rain And Lightning

There is a lot to get out of films surrounding family secrets. Ideally, you are gradually drawn into learning about who a family is, establishing various personas, only to have things turn around on you thanks to sudden reveals. It’s not a cheat to make these sort of twists, as you’ve been effectively coerced into […]

Look Who’s ‘Taken’ Now (Movie Review)

My favorite scene in A Walk Among the Tombstones, the previous Liam Neeson thriller that found the 62-year-old actor facing up against a number of deadly foes, involved Neeson’s character talking a knife-wielding man out of fighting, because they both knew how it would end.  It showed how much of an intimidating force Neeson can […]

Taken 2 (Blu-ray Review)

So Taken 2, huh?  You think they could have came up with a “better” name like Taken Again, Retook, Taken Aback, Retake or whatever else you’re clever enough to come up with.  But regardless, when I first sat down in the theater to “take” in Taken 2, I was just overjoyed to have Liam Neeson […]

Faster than a speeding bullet.  Able to sniff his hidden location out with just a few grenades.  Brian Mills is back!  Um…I mean Liam Neeson in the titular role he made infamous.  Taken 2 has been officially announced and detailed on Blu-ray!  First they took his daughter and now the baddies are coming for him […]

Look Who’s ‘Taken’ Too

There is a reason why Taken 2 already stood a challenge of being a good movie.  In 2008, the first taken arrived in theaters and became a smash hit for a very simple reason:  Liam Neeson turned his genteel persona on its head.  He became a determined father who would take down anyone in his […]

It’s ‘Taken 2’ Long To Impress Me (Movie Review)

So Taken 2, huh?  You think they could have came up with a “better” name like Taken Again, Retook, Taken Aback, Retake or whatever else you’re clever enough to come up with.  But regardless, I’m just overjoyed to have Liam Neeson back in the 2008 bada$$ action role that redefined his career after Jedi Master […]

‘Lockout’: Escape From Space Jail

So I have wrongly been associating this movie with John Carpenter and Kurt Russell.  There is a certain attitude and story structure that definitely evokes this classic 80s sci-fi/action combo, but really, Lockout (or Space Jail, as I’ve been calling it) is much more in line with 90s Bruce Willis action movies.  It has such […]

WonderCon 2012: Lockout

Really, this movie should just be called Space Jail, which will probably not be the last time I mention that in writing, as I am kind of excited to see this mindlessly fun-looking sci-fi/action flick.  WonderCon presented a whole panel devoted to the upcoming release from Open Road Films, Lockout, which takes place in the […]

Faster Maxes Out at About Average

I was very close to giving this flick a pass simply because Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has finally come back to the action scene, after pushing hard in the family-friendly film territory.  Unfortunately, this revenge/thriller does not quite reach a passing grade for me.  It does come close however.  I admired this film for its […]
