With the sad news that one of my favourite actors, Paul Newman, has passed away at the age of 83 on Friday September 26th, 2008. My thoughts are with his family and friends now.
For the past day I have been thinking of how I would like to take the time to commemorate his great acting career by listing My Top 5 scenes in the movies I’ve loved him in.
So here we go… (more…)
Kim [Maggie Grace] goes on a trip to Paris with her friend. She is taken by a group who preys on young women. Her father, Bryan [Liam Neeson], is an ex-spy and uses his old contacts and skills to get her back.
Samir Horn [Don Cheadle] is an Islamic explosive expert. He is caught selling some devices to a customer in a raid and is arrested and taken to prison. In jail he befriends Omar [Saïd Taghmaoui], who is a soldier in a special operation against the America. He is taken in by this terrorist group to help the operation while trying best to not be noticed by Special Agent Roy Clayton [Guy Pearce].
So you must be wondering what the hell a ‘Kidnap Movie’ is. Basically in keeping with my feature review to come later in the week [Taken] the whole reason that Liam Neeson is going to go on this rampant kick-ass spree is because his daughter is kidnapped. So I classify a ‘Kidnap Movie’ as a film that if a character were not kidnapped basically the whole movie would have no meaning and probably wouldn’t have happened.
So here we go: (more…)
Lester Burnham [Kevin Spacey] is a stereotypical suburban father and his wife, Carolyn Burnham [Anette Benning], and a daughter Jane Burnham [Thora Birch] is the stereotypical suburban family. Until of course they stop making those fake smiles like they’re taking a family photo. Lester is going through a case of depression, while Carolyn is trying to be more successful at her job and begins to cheat on Lester, and Jane hates her parents since they are so ‘weird’ and she starts to get interested in the odd drug-dealer boy who lives next door.
Dale [Seth Rogen] goes out to find Ted Jones [Gary Cole] to serve him some legal documents – whilst high – and he witnesses a murder. In a panic he rushes to his dealer’s, Saul [James Franco], place to get some help and figure out what to do. They decide to go on the run from these top tier drug kingpins of the city.
An incident occurred near a popular skateboarding park, known as Paranoid Park, where Alex [Gabe Nevins] and his friend, Jared [Jake Miller], were skating on the night if the incident.
This is the story of Four Leaf Tayback [Nick Nolte] in the Vietnam war being adapted from the published novel into a feature length film. The filming of this movie hits many financial and structural problems as the director, Damien Cockburn [Steve Coogan], is young and inexperienced in managing a big budget film, and the actors are all huge stars attempting to share the screen.
Dr. Robert Doback [Richard Jenkins] and Nancy Huff [Mary Steenburgen] get married. This now makes Dale [John C. Reilly] and Brennan [Will Ferrell] step-brothers. They are both 40 years old, and still living at home and completely supported by their parents.
