 | | 2. Taken | | | Starring: Liam Neeson Maggie Grace Director: Pierre Morel | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/12/2009 |  | Taken - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/1/2009 5:39 PM | |
Of all the men you would expect to tear through Europe to save his daughter, leaving a trail of dead like Jonestown in his wake, Liam Neeson would be relatively low on the list, coming in somewhere between Chevy Chase and Zero Mostel. Neeson has always been known for playing men of impassioned rhetoric, guys whose tongues are more powerful than their physical prowess. So, watching the man who played Alfred Kinsey, Jean Valjean, and Michael Collins take two large nails and slam them into a another man's thighs before connecting jumper cables to said nails might leave a viewer understandably flabbergasted. read the full review | |

 | | 4. X-Men 3-Last Stand (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Ian McKellen Famke Janssen Director: Brett Ratner | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/21/2009 | User Rating: 3.7 |  | X-Men: The Last Stand - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/10/2009 5:36 PM | |
Last Stand has as many characters as a deck has cards. The thrill of seeing Vinnie Jones in the Juggernaut suit or Kelsey Grammer as the blue-haired Beast is squashed once you ultimately realize they contribute nothing to the story. Co-screenwriters Simon Kinberg and Zak Penn can’t address each character in detail – the movie would run an additional three hours. As a result, some are killed off quickly, others are forgotten for long stretches, and all, save for Wolverine and Storm, have their potential wasted. read the full review | |
