Good evening readers, sticking to form here is that response to Monday's comment question of the day. Chuck Norris' weakness is David Hasselhoff. I'm not entirely sure where this one is meant to be going. Is it insinuating that Chuck is gay? Or that the Hoff could kick his ass? Cos frankly I think my niece could go toe to toe with the Hoff. Be that as it may, on with the post!
Today I've decided to make this post a tribute to one of Hollywood's greatest actors, Liam Neeson. With his latest film, Unknown, coming out at the end of the month I wanted to take a look back at one of my top ten actors.
Neeson's film debut came in the form of Pilgrim's progress (1978). I can't comment on this film in particular since I haven't seen it. All I know is that Neeson took on the role of none other than Jesus Christ. That can't have been at all intimidating for a young and undistinguished actor.
Though he starred in more than a dozen films since then the first film he was in that I could recognise by name was Schindler's list (1993). Undoubtedly this film will be one that lasts for many years to come and Neeson played the title role. The film won Neeson an award for best actor and was nominated for various others.
Since that blast of epic acting Neeson has been in many films that people today could instantly recognise by title. The most obvious being Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace, in which Neeson played Qui-Gon Jinn the mentor of Obi-Wan Kenobi. K-19, Batman begins, Star Wars II, Kingdom of Heaven and even the Simpsons have been graced by this acting collosus.
Most recently Neeson played Colonel Hannibal Smith in the 2010 remake of the A-Team. This movie made it to number 4 in my list for that year, a truly great picture with a collection of acting talent crested by the man himself. If you haven't seen this yet, you must!
Thee previously mentioned Unknown is due for release on February 18th in the UK. Here is the synopsis from the official site of the film:
Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) awakens after a car accident in Berlin to discover that his wife (January Jones) suddenly doesn't recognize him and another man (Aidan Quinn) has assumed his identity. Ignored by disbelieving authorities and hunted by assassins, he finds himself alone, tired, and on the run.
On his own in a strange country, Martin seeks aid from an unlikely and reluctant source (Diane Kruger) as he plunges headlong into a deadly mystery that will force him to question his sanity, his identity, and just how far he's willing to go to uncover the truth.
It has been remarked to me that the plot seems fairly similar to the Arnold Swarzenegger film of 2000 the 6th day. However I have this to say on the subject, with Neeson as the main character Unknown will eclipse the tongue in cheek B movies which Swarzenneger seemed unable to avoid. I thoroughly recommend that people go and find out for themselves, as I shall be doing.
Later on this year we have more films to look forward to with Liam Neeson. He shall be playing a tattoo artist in the Hangover 2 (May 26) and returning to the role of Zeus in Wrath of the Titans in March 2012.
So there we are folks, since it's been such a long post today I'll forget about the current events events section and move right on to the comment question of the day, to which I am expecting more than one suggestion this time. Please leave your interesting or creative responses in the comments section below.
So readers, What's your superpower?
