MY GOODNESS

...TAKEN was AWESOME!

If your daughter is ever kidnapped, drugged up and sold into prostitution, you better hope your dad is a retired government "preventer" whose set of skills include the ability to knock out anyone and everyone that gets in his way. It'd be a plus if he was also able to shoot up a whole house full of thugs with guns. Granted, most of them were shot in the back while hurrying like idiots down the stairs, but it was still impressive.

It's also good to finally know there's a legitimate use for a car's slapstick, just start from minute 79:55 of the movie. I think he was trying to slow down? In any case... it was badass.

In all seriousness, I really hope more movies like this are made. It's deceptively short and to the point. I couldn't imagine how he would make it out of certain jams, much less resolve the conflict in under 8 minutes remaining of the movie from that 79:55 car scene. You want action? You get action. And I got action. lol

On another note, things were hitting close to home in a couple of these articles, check it out.
See #14 [Mental_Floss]
See #11 [11 Points]
See #10 [11 Points]
And this one is just interesting [11 Points]

And if you're bored right now, head over and make a movie! Its easy! For example...



POST EDIT: Just watched Iron Man...I have two gripes. Basically infinite power from a small source in your chest? Personified intelligent 'butler' computer system named Jarvis and 'pet' robots in his workshop? Oh, and did you really have to cast Samuel L Jackson? Such a promising sequel, now ruined for me :(

P.P.S. IMDB: Random pictures of people from Iron Man premiere? lol
