Liam Neeson, Part Deux

Movies out Today

Arthur - The heir to a multi-million dollar estate is forced into marrying a psycho, but decides to try giving it all up to be with the girl he loves. (Russell Brand is a comic genius so prepare to laugh continuously for upwards of 2 hours. I can't wait!)

Hanna - A young girl is trained by her father for combat all to kill some government spy lady. (As much as I dislike Eric Bana, this movie looks too cool to pass up.)

Soul Surfer - A teenage surfer loses her arm in a shark attack and find the strength to teach herself to surf again. (Super inspirational and loaded with an awesome cast. Maybe I'll find the strength to start working out after I see it. Or not...)

Your Highness - A medieval spoof, two brothers, one brave and one stupid, go on a quest to rescue the brave one's girlfriend. (James Franco, Danny McBride, Natalie Portman, and Zooey Deschanel. Convinced yet? If not, what is wrong with you??)

Deceptively Awesome Goodies


Underrated movie of the post:
Love, Actually. A conglomeration of stories that all center around finding, losing, and living with love. (It really is a beautiful movie and it's also funny making it the ultimate British chick flick. But Lian Neeson's story is particularly moving where he is the step-father to a boy who just lost his mother and has to find a way to connect with him. Just wonderful.)

Movies to see:

Arthur, Hanna, Soul Surfer, Your Highness, Love Actually

Trailers of the post: Weird Dramas


Midnight in Paris. A man visiting Paris escapes from his wife and her parents every night and does stuff. (Yeah, it's written and directed by Woody Allen so of course it's going to be weird, but there's also a mystery to it because where the heck is Owen Wilson going? Also, the rest of the cast is phenomenal: Michael Sheen, Adrien Brody, Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard.)



The Tree of Life. Centered around a family in the 1950s, the eldest of three sons witnesses something tragic. (I just hope there's actual dialogue in the movie instead of just scenes with creepy music.)
