Unknown




Unknown (2011)
Starring: Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, and January Jones
Directed by: Jaume Collet-Serra
Tagline: Take back your life.
Grade: A

Liam Neeson...is...awesome. End of story. Martin Harris (Neeson) and his wife Elizabeth (Jones) are vacationing when he's in a taxi crash. This results in a coma. When he wakes up, he finds that someone has taken his identity and even his wife doesn't remember that he's Martin Harris. He enlists the help of Gina (Kruger), the girl who was driving the taxi that crashed. With her help, he slowly starts to find his way through the mystery surrounding his life. Not only is Liam a very convincing actor, he can kick some serious butt...and boy does he kick a lot of butt in this movie.

Movie Review: Unknown

Unknown (2006)
Starring: James Caviezel and Greg Kinnear
Characters: Jean Jacket and Broken Nose
Directed by: Simon Brand
Tagline: Trust no one. Fear everyone.
Grade: A+

This movie is awesome! It's been one of my favorites for a while. The language is pretty bad, but overall the movie is worth watching. One of the other stars is Barry Pepper, who is one of my favortie actors...which, obviously, makes this movie a win for that reason, too. :) Unknown is about five guys (Caviezel, Kinnear, Joe Pantoliano, Barry Pepper, and Jeremy Sisto) who wake up in some kind of warehouse having been knocked out by a mysterious chemical that also causes memory loss. They soon find an article in the newspaper that says a very wealthy buisness man and his financial advisor have been kidnapped. They realize that two of them are the victims and the other three are kidnappers. Even though they know this, they work together to take down the bad guys (with the exception of Jeremy Sisto...watch the movie to understand). This movie, even though they cuss like sailors, is well worth watching...as most independent movies these days are.

Annoyance

So, I've realized fairly recently that I get annoyed easily...that's probably very noticable by the people that know me. lol Hopefully someday I will meet someone that has the personality of Michael Vaughn and looks like Ryan Reynolds...or he can look like Michael Vaughn and have the personality of Ryan Reynolds...I don't really care. As long as he isn't anything like my ex, I'll be good. Anyway, today was a snow day, which was awesome. You don't get many of those as a homeschooler, but sometimes, people are just lucky, I guess. We have first rehearsal on Tuesday, which should be fun. So, yeah looking forward to that and my younger sister's friend's (sorry for the confusion) birthday party on Sunday. Fun week! haha...ya.

Plays

So, I'm in a lot of plays...I love being on the stage...as long as I have lines and I'm not having to do a speech or something. So we're doing a musical this time...Hello Dolly...woohoo...not. It kind of seems boring to me...we walk around in long dresses...singing old songs. Blah. I was in Bye Bye Birdie and it was the most fun I've had in a long, long time. The 50's were a fun time...the 80's were a fun time...1842 was not. So, yeah, not totally excited about this play. But I do get to hang out with two of my best friends (and the boy I have a slight, slight crush on...shhh) because we're all going to be in the ensemble. So I guess something good did come out of it. yay! :)
