More Films

Ok, managed to get a couple of new releases watched this weekend. Talk about poles apart...

Taken
What a load of unmitigated rubbish.
Neeson as ex-CIA/Special Forces hard man, who has to go and rescue kidnapped daughter.
Neeson is so wooden, the plot so thin and predictable it makes for an hour and a half of laugh out loud rubbish.

Plus, i haven't seen sooooo many bullets fly around with no casualties since the A-Team

Gran Tourino
Thank god for this - total opposite - Clint plays flawed, grumpy, racist war veteran who lives in a neighbourhoud changing around him and how he helps and comes to like the family next door (and becomes increasingly estranged from his own selfish offspring).

Brilliant.
