TAKEN 3

The 2nd one was one of the most nondescript films I think I've ever seen, this one is a bit more engaging. The initial set-up scenes are actually very watchable, to the point that it's almost disappointing when the inevitable action / chasing starts. The completely implausible action. The way Liam Neeson escapes his first 'tricky situation' is so ridiculous it's like a bad comedy sketch. Then the music score goes into overdrive and we also get a very weirdly placed soppy love song in an otherwise 'tense' chasey bit... weird.

TEKKEN 3 > TAKEN 3

5.5 Liam Neesons out of 10.

yeah that's my experimental 'artists impression' of the film, glad it resonated!

(not to get too tin-foil-hat but I've read some pretty dodgy alleged stuff about the lad Kutcher recently, can't say I was really a fan of him anyway though)

Despite the cover it's neither about, nor by, Renaissance vampires.

I'm not sure "V" and "five" should count as the same word, but anyway

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT (2004)

One of those perpetual "shall I watch this one?.... ermmm... nah", which finally turned into an "erghhh.... okay may as well watch this and get it over with". aka the joy and wonder of cinema

I suppose you reach a period in your life where anything after that period will forever be either 'new', or 'new-ish' in your brain... that period is somewhere around 1997 /98 /99 ish for me. So it's quite weird to think this movie is over 20 yrs old

I was in a charity shop yesterday and some girl pointed at this dress and said to her friend "oh wow, that dress is soooo 2017!". I had a good mind to exclaim "my word young lady, 2017 was a mere 2 weeks ago, you utterly ridiculous yet oddly charming creature!". but I didn't. I just stood there and stewed in my oldness.

Oh yeah, the film.

Ashton Kutcher collects butterflies. He runs around catching them in his butterfly net, and nails them to a plank of wood until they confess where they've hidden the diamonds. but they never do. "cat got your tongue or something eh?" he yells at them. "giving me the silent treatment eh? well two can play at that game... and I'm gonna call that game, THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT game"

The rest of the film plays out in total silence with Kutcher striking weird poses and flirting with the camera. Disappointing.
