Is Liam Neeson a God?

      Well If he isn't a god, he definitely played one in the recent version of Clash of the Titans.  His career has been an onslaught of great characters in a wide range of movies.  His movies didn't always do well but he shows up being maybe the coolest character in that movie.  For instance, Star Wars, Chapter I, The Phantom Menace.  Sure the movie sucked especially for a Star Wars movie but you can't say that him being Obi-wan-kenobi's Master isn't a cool role to have.  He has been in and lent his voice to some of the coolest movies out there.  His role wasn't that big but if you can remember he played Sir Gawain in Excalibur.  Oh sure, it wasn't the biggest part but that movie was epic to the story of King Arthur and he played a part that most remember his name.  He has done other movies as well worked with some of the biggest actors and he hasn't stopped yet.  Batman Begins was the revision on the Batman movie tale and not only did he wind up being the villian he initially started as Batman's trainer.  Again, he became the Master of one of the greatest Heroes in movie land.  I'm starting to wonder if I'm not that far off of Liam Neeson's godly representation, he definitely has great choices in movies. 

     Taken is a great example of a good action film that he is great in.  That movie rests on him and him alone.  If he wasn't good in it the movie wouldn't have done as well.  Although the plot was easy to back.  Who wouldn't kill everybody in his way of getting his daughter back from the bad guys.  I don't think any man that has daughter wouldn't do and feel the same way he did in that movie.  What made the movie work is that he didn't apologize for the killing and he killed everybody.  The timing of the movie was perfect too.  In this bad economy and people losing jobs, who couldn't get behind a man who had a job to do and did it to its best.

     He has been in some great movies.  Does anybody remember the little sci-fi, knightish flick, Krull?  Ok, I know it wasn't the greatest movie and the big weapon should have been used a lot more in the movie but still it was a cool movie to be in and there he was.  Mind you, I don't know anybody else that has a career like his coming out of that movie.  It was still a good kidish movie, well at least I enjoyed it.   He played another father in Before and After, along with Meryl Streep.  Another protective story about a son that might or might not have killed and the father and mother that try to protect him through losing evidence.  The list is endless from being a sex psychartrist in Kinsey, doing the voice of aslan in the Narnia Series, and of course we can't forget him in Schindler's List.  I can name a bunch of other roles that he either had cool small parts or big parts but then this would be so much longer.  Liam Neeson is truly a great actor who has a lot of great roles.  I'm sure we will see more from him in the future, I can't wait to see what happens next.

comments made

Comments are wonderful things whether or not they are good ones or bad ones.  The fun part about putting something out there for the world to view through "youtube" or some other site is that you want people to react one way or another.  Some people try to be funny and make fun of you.  Some people are honest with you and some actually like you.  Either way its all good because at least somebody took that extra time no matter how small to comment on you pieces.  I love them all.  I figure if you took the time to listen or watch a video and you make a comment I have inspired you to do something, more then most people can say.  I am a writer and now a novice blogger and vlogger (at least thats what I think you call it when you talk on a video type blog).  Just like bad publicity is good publicity bad comments are just as good as good comments.  Am I wrong, I sincerely doubt it.
