In cinemas: Immaturity and Revenge (yay!)
Ted is the first feature film by Seth Macfarlane, who also does the voice of the teddy bear, which is why he sounds like Peter Griffin from Family Guy. Ted is a masterpiece! 5 stars! The talking, walking, farting teddy bear really is alive, so this is not a psychotic-with-imaginary-friend comedy.
We are warned about the crudeness, profanity and drug use (all of them Ted’s), but not about the possible trauma of seeing someone part with his favorite toy/best friend. No, Marky Mark! (We’ll never stop calling him that). Don’t let Ted go!! The world is full of girls but there is only one sentient teddy bear!!!
Liam Neeson stars in Taken 2. Is that his light saber stuck in his waistband?
In the first Taken, Liam Neeson kills every Albanian in Paris in order to rescue his daughter. In Taken 2 the Albanians want revenge so they follow him to Istanbul where he’s on vacation with his ex-wife and (that same) daughter.
This has to be the most unfortunate family in current movies, or at least Luc Besson productions co-starring Maggie Grace and set in different international locations. Why is Neeson’s character even allowed to travel when you know he’s going to lay waste to every city he sets foot on?
Taken 2 is a fun, fast 90 minutes, Liam Neeson (We refused to watch The Grey because we were sure he would kill some wolves) is always watchable and even his daughter is much less annoying. We like how Neeson’s character is not just badass but well-acquainted with the laws of physics. He doesn’t need the cavalry to come save him and he certainly doesn’t need GPS—he can pinpoint locations using home-made protractors and grenades. Yay, Doppler effect! Istanbul looks wonderful, we have to go.
Why isn’t there an Evian ad with Liam Neeson in it? We’ve all been wink-wink-nudge-nudging about it for years and the brand hasn’t taken advantage of this association. All you need is a bunch of people sipping from Evian liter bottles and Liam Neeson walking past them. Do it! Don’t forget our royalties.

Nabasa ko noon na ang tatlong artistang may pinakamalaking kargada ay sina Liam Neeson, Willem Dafoe at James Woods. Ang sabi pa ang isang naka-relasyon ni Liam ay parang nasasakang tuwing matapos niyang makipagniig kay Liam. Baka may kinalaman dito ang Evian story ni Miss Zafra.

Naka-ilang “ang laki laki naman nyang mama” kami sa pelikula kahapon. At least, proportional :D
