Actually, this potential shown as far back as Rob Roy, which is an awesome movie – one of my personal favorite DVD’s in fact. That you didn’t mention it in your opening paragraph ticks me off, frankly.

Oh, and Tim Roth WAS ROBBED for not getting Best Supporting Actor that year for his brilliant portrayal of The Fop.

I just saw Taken, and thought it was great.

Neeson is perfect for the role. So athletic (I’m surprised he hasn’t been in more action films over the years) and the right age.

But most of all: a father’s face.

(Fathers of 4 – aged 16 and up – begin to notice these things.)

the plot of Taken is refreshingly simple: “Liam Neeson is gonna beat down some people till he gets his daughter back…”

Saw Taken on Friday, loved it. Sooooooooooo nice to see a non-pc movie! I would have been happy to watch 30 mins more of bad guys biting the dust… Liam Neeson is great in it. Many thanks to the guys behind this movie for the few hours of movie fun.

So…

I followed the link to the article that said “New In Town” insulted rural America or Minnesota or whatever. Because the people were too nice.

*sigh*

I *think* that what is wrong with Renee Zellweger’s breasts in that picture is that the black mesh looks darker where it is not directly pressing against skin, so it looks like a crease.

I really enjoyed “Taken.” Liam Neeson is totally credible as the bad a** and it’s nice to see a big, solid guy in that kind of role instead of some short guy who muscles up to appear tough. Even at 56 Neeson is tougher looking than Matt Damon. And I don’t care what the reviewer says– there is no resemblance between Neeson and Mike Brady.
