I’ve just discovered the ‘must see’ movie of the holiday season and despite the play on words “Parental Guidance” is fun for the whole family. My wife and youngest two kids (12yo and 14yo) went to see Billy Crystal’s new movie on Wednesday night and we’re giving it more than two thumbs up.
The Hobbit movie has arrived to a great fanfare. This wasn’t just the long awaited revealing of Peter Jackson’s Tolkien expression but even more it is the beginning of the culmination of a Hobbit’s journey that began over a decade ago in Lord of the Rings – The Fellowship of the Ring.
Fast forward to 2012 and we have TAKEN 2 out and I’m asking how can they make this work a second time. Liam Neeson is front and centre in the publicity so the return of the key character is a given. The trailer also introduces us to Mills ex-wife Lenore played by Famke Janssen of X-Men Phoenix fame and we quickly learn that Neeson will this time have to keep an eye on both his daughter and ex-wife.
