TAKEN 2
Starring: Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen
Rade Sherbedgia & Luke Grimes
Directed by Olivier Megaton for distribution by 20th
Century FOX
The Plot: A retired CIA
agent looks to protect his wife and daughter after he’s targeted by the family
of a group of sex traffickers he killed years prior.
The Final Word: Liam Nesson is
a man with “a very particular set of skills.” I think we all can agree Nesson
can open a movie on his name alone and the original “Taken” is a big reason why
that’s the case. Despite a critical beatdown, the sequel’s going to do just as
well because this is a non-thinking action film and those are currently in high
demand.
FRANKENWEENIE
Starring (voices): Winona Ryder, Martin Short,
Catherine O'Hara, Martin Landau,
Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer, Robert Capron &
Conchata Ferrell
Directed by Tim Burton for distribution by Disney
The Plot: After losing
his beloved dog, a young boy finds a way to bring his pet back from the dead
only to see him come back with a few “quirks.”
The Final Word: Simply put if you’re
a fan of Tim Burton and “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” this move is for you.
If you aren’t and are looking for a kids film then “Hotel Transylvania” is probably
looking pretty good right now.
