Mama's Boy (2007)
I feel sorry for the cast...
...except for Jon Heder. This guy tanked the entire movie.
The plot sounded entertaining. A 29 year old slacker son(Heder)still lives with widowed mom (Keaton)who happens to meet a new love (Daniels). Slacker son is jealous and anxious to lose his comfortable life and tries to sabotage the relationship. He also meets a girl(Faris).
I really liked the performance of Daniels and especially Faris but whoever casted Hader would be better of selling hot dogs at the beach. Heders performance is annoying, which would be a good thing since he plays an annoying guy, problem is he is to bad an actor to loose this act making this guy likable in the finale. At the end you still wish you can personally punch the guy in the face and you're upset about the end. In the future every movie with this guy will be a no go for me!
Taken (2008)
Nice surprise!
Very good "old school" action flick!
Liam Neeson is very convincing in his role as estranged father and ex-intelligence operative who uses the skills of his profession to find his daughter who was abducted in Paris. There are some raised eyebrows (how can someone who don't speaks French pretend to be a French cop) but this should not keep anyone to watch this "tour de force".
Even more surprising was that there don't where any trailers or big adds and i have to admit that only the names of Liam Neeson and Luc Besson got my attention otherwise i would have missed a great movie.
In my opinion the best action movie this year so far!
