TAKEN 2 movie review

after his daughter was being abducted in Taken, Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) gets into another kidnap case. this time, of himself and his wife. Taken 2 set in Albania gets into more of Bryan Mills' CIA skills and now he's off to set themselves free with the help of his daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace).
in the beautiful Albania, their leader Murad (Rade Serbedzija) seeks revenge for the killing of their brethren. we recall that their group has been kidnapping young women for white slavery and Kim was included. the manhunt for Bryan Mills, being the sole strong man against them, begins and they find them at the heart of Albania. without knowing that Bryan Mills had everything was carefully thought of in advance, his searchers were dropped to death. with Bryan Mills tactical skills, everything were brilliantly done.
moving by the numbers is something that you'll admire from his skills. and Kim has to be very attentive enough to do what she's told. everything seems so easy for the retired CIA agent, i just wonder if they really have that kind of training or it was just creatively done. the skills were more impressive than the gore and the suspense within the movie. i'll give it 8 out of 10 stars if you want it to be quantified.
on October 4 2012, watch Liam Neeson and the rest of the cast in Taken 2. distributed by 20th Century Fox Philippines.

WALANG KUKURAP review

i just saw Tanghalang Pilipino's WALANG KUKURAP and i had to admit that it was very appropriate in the current Philippine political situation.
though it was set in the smallest government unit, the barangay, the issues tackled were of national interest. hunger for position, political dynasty, drugs, gambling and forms of national problems like out of school youth, corruption, illegal logging, were closely twined together helping audience realize the current situation that we're living in for decades.

it was also subliminally attacking all current politicians. well, they should be very ashamed if they see this production. taking over the bureaucracy for their own benefits. cases may not be true as presented but it enlightens the people on making the good choices in the elections. and when a certain person is in power, instead of giving in to the authority, we should also be very watchful in their actions.

bloody is one description to this play as Layeta Bucoy's trademark. scenes with squirting liquid fill the stage and i even got to experience it. and you'll also know how such words can be very powerful to affect and change one's principle.

Tanghalang Pilipino's WALANG KUKURAP is currently playing at Tanghalang Huseng Batute at the CCP Complex, Pasay City.
