"Taken" Movie Review!

Bryan (Liam Neeson), an ex-government spy, has lost his marriage due to the stresses of his job, but after an ill decision by his ex-wife to send his daughter to Europe for a rock tour - his job is what just might save her life.

Upon arriving in Europe, his daughter gets kidnapped by sex traffickers. The movie gets a slow start, but kicks off once Neeson steps foot in Europe. This movie is a must see for anyone who has ever dreamed of going the distance to save a life. Neeson’s kill moves are more effective than B.C. Powder. While pursuing a large organization of sex-traffickers in Paris, Neeson not only manages to save his daughter, but sets others free and leaves the despicable sex-traffickers running like cockroaches under the sun, the four or five that somehow manage to escape Neeson’s retribution that is. If shutting down a massive sex trafficking ring wasn’t enough, what is really great about Taken is that he outwits the French Government in the process! “Hamm-burrrg-eya! Dam-burggger! The-burrga!”

Synopsis:
Bond, Borne and everyone else, look out! After this movie there may be a shift from Chuck Norris jokes to Liam Neeson jokes!

"Taken" is a healthy mix between 8mm and Braveheart. If you have a heart for justice, and a stomach for violence against bad people – run - don’t walk and go see “Taken!”

I give it five out of five arrows right through the mark!

 

How to make a Lord of the Rings Long Bow (Gondorian) Ty McTier

 This was a college final project that I helped my brother film. It took about 4 hours total to make the bow. In about 3 hours the bow could have been shot, but it took an extra hour or so to get the bow looking good with the sanding.

 Although Ty had a lot of fun dressing up like a Gondorian, please know that he doesn’t dress like this every day.

Items Needed:

1. Hickory Stave
2. Axe
3. A Good Hatchet (Eastwings are the toughest)
4. A Draw Knife or a Large Knife that can be jammed into thick stick
5. A good saw (Irwin Rough Cut)
6. Time
7. Patience
8. A lot of energy – this is a heck of a work out!

  This project was a lot of fun and my brother and I hope to have more videos littering the Internet very soon.

  Thanks for visiting the site; any comments would be helpful and well noted.

  I purchased most of my tools from Amazon... Just click the links below - they are already sorted out! Have fun!
