Taken

Directed by Pierre Morel


The Movie "Taken" directed by Pierre Morel was about Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) a hired bodyguard who's daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) get kidnapped while spending the summer in Paris. He goes to Paris to find his daughter and does any and everything to find her.

Liam Neeson played in many different roles he doesn't really pay the same type of roles in his movies one of them was a small role in "Batman Begins" he played a role as Batmans trainer who turns out to be evil.

This movie was like the Maltese Falcon. The detective was the main character.

This movie had ever thing from good acting to great camera shots. I think this is one of Liam Neeson's best movies. They did a great job making it realistic but dramatic. I would recommend this movie to people that like action movie like "Lethal weapon" or "The transporter".

State Property

Director: Abdul Malik

State Property is about Beans (played by Rapper Beanie Sigel) trying to make money a quick way because where he lives it's not that's much opportunity for people. He starts his own mafia type crew with people including Bleek (played by rapper Memphis Bleek). They start a drug trafficking business and run into completion when Boss Dame (played by Damon Dash) finds out they are selling drugs on his turf.

The actors in this movie are mostly Rocafella Records music artist. This was Rapper Beanie Singels second movie he played the same type of aggressive person but he was less comical in this movie. This was Damon Dash's first movie he ever did. The writer/Director Abdul Malik Abbott work on this movie was different because he usually did music videos and sitcoms so this was very different from what he does.

I liked this movie because it was low budget but you forgot about all of that when you watch it. The acting was better then you would think. The rappers did a great job acting and they used the alienation effect with Beans in the right parts of the movie and they still made you believe them. I liked how they put real situations that people go through with money and problem. This movie had a great overall story line, plot and acting so I give it an A.

Beetle Juice

Enternal sunshine's Production reminded me of Tim Burtons 1988 film Beetle juice. The neighborhood settings were dark but not scary. He made you feel like you were somewhere that you have never been but in a realistic way. Both were different looking films that made you pay attention to the setting because you never knew what was going to pop up or happen. The producer and screen writers for both movies had the same type of idea's for semi dark settings.
