Taken (Liam Neeson)

This flick with story written by Luc Besson (& Robert Mark Kamen) is kind of a classic story.
Dother gets kidnapped father gets mad and hunts the bad guys down. We've all seen it before (Die Hard 4, Commando, etc).
But when it's told without the hollywood cliches it actually turns out to be a good, hardcore, action movie. Liam Neeson is brutal as the dad, Bryan Mills, in search for his little girl in Paris. He's actually so good that he's now competing in the big league with Jason Bourne and James Bond (Daniel Craig).

Big up to Pierre Morel (District 13) for directing an awesome action flick and big up Michel Abramowicz for making the cinematography worth mentioning.

Favorite character obviously is:

Milk!

What can I say? Awesome flick, awesome acting, nice photo, good cause, great city! I can go on forever but I won't. Can't quite understand why I hadn't seen this one yet.
Anyway, I saw it last night and felt really great!

This movie is a must on your flick list so go rent it if you haven't seen it.

Favorite character obviously is Sean Penn in one of his best performances ever.
He and James Franco make a really trustworthy and cute couple.

The Hangover

Me, and my girlfriend went to see Todd Philips' "The Hangover" on an early show two days ago. Kind of weird expectations for this movie with it having the director of "Old School" (Will Ferrell) and "Starsky & Hutch" (Ben Stiller), 8,5 on IMDB at the moment and a cast that isn't that well known. I mean, I couldn't expect a new frat pack comedy flick and the story (Jon Lucas & Scott More) felt more hard and action packed.
This turned out to be a good movie with a super story. Not great like "I Love You, Man" but good. Kind of reminds me of "Memento" by Christopher Nolan in some ways of the storytelling.
It truly is good enough for me to buy it and rewatch it when it hits the video store.
It's a "see" and you'll definetly get a lot of laughs out of this one!

Favorite character is Bradley Cooper who have grown in my eyes since I saw him in Wedding Crashers (in which he was great).
Other great portraits of characters in picture below (Ken Jeong, Heather Graham & Zach Galifianakis).
In fact, I don't think I've ever seen Ken Jeong not being hilarious.
He's accent is absolutely a favorite in this flick!

SEE!


Extra-extra on Todd Philips is that he's working on a sequel to "Old School".
Something to look forward to!

I Love you, Man!

Speaking of Andy Samberg, I saw "I Love You, Man" at Bergakungen movie theater here in Gothenburg last week. My expectations for this flick was as high as a Method Man & Redman album. And lucky me! What do I get? A fucking brilliant movie.
If my expectations where a 7,2 on the IMDB scale this movie hit 8,1.
This comedy had it all. Embarrassing moments that made you want to crawl out your seat (like that family guy episode in the pub), on point humour from the superb brains of Jason Segel and Paul Rudd, & my girlfriend laughing out loud in a dead quiet theater room (she told me this is her favorite comedy ever).

I truly recommend this flick. If you liked Knocked Up & Forgetting Sarah Marshall you'll love this one even more!

This is a definite SEE! So what are you waiting for?

Cool guys & explosions

The sucky part about MTV Movie Awards is that the voters are all teen girls.
That means the hunky vampire guy (Robert Pattinson) gets to go on stage every fucking time an award is presented.
The good part about MTV Movie Awards is that Andy Samberg is hilarious.

V for Vendetta

Remember, remember; Hugo Weaving playing the man with the mask.

While I'm at it with Alan Moore I might as well tell you that I saw V for Vendetta again last week. It is actually one of my favorite movies of all time (probably because it's based on a very good graphic novel).
I read though that Alan Moore wasn't to satisfied with making the novel in to a flick and didn't want his name in the end titles. That's why the cover only mentions David Lloyd who made the art of the graphic novel.

The favorite character is obviously V and this one is a "see or die" kinda flick.

SEE!
