A Walk Among the Tombstones Review

A Walk Among the Tombstones

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365907/?ref_=nv_sr_1

I tend to read movie reviews of movies that I plan on seeing but don't plan on seeing in the theaters and this movie is no different.  A lot of the reviews were comparing it to Taken which really is unfair to Liam Neeson and everyone involved with the film.  Liam Neeson really has gotten type cast recently because of the Taken franchise.  Everything that he has starred in recently, people say its Taken on a Plane, Taken in the woods, Taken as a P.I., etc.  The particular set of skills isn't part of this movie and I feel that because of the Taken franchise this movie has gotten a bad rep and been tossed aside.  

I am not saying that this movie is perfect or that the story line is something new and exciting because it isn't.  We have seen this story done before numerous times but that doesn't mean that the movie is bad or not worth watching.  Liam Neeson gives a typical Liam Neeson performance which in my book is always worth watching.  The supporting cast is adequate and helps move the movie along without getting in the way of the main story too much.  

I would give this movie a 7/10 rating and recommend it to anyone looking for a good movie to pass the time.  

New Year New Ideas

I have always wanted to keep this blog updated and what not but slacked off and eventually just ignored it altogether.  I will try and utilize this platform way more this year and one way I will do that is by reviewing every single movie that I watch this year.  I have been a movie fanatic basically my whole life and I don't know many people that watch more movies than I do from year to year so why not offer my reviews of the movies for others to read.

Another big thing I plan on blogging about is my journey of eating healthy and losing quite a bit of much needed weight.  I am finally serious about getting my life in order from a health conscience standpoint.  I have never really eaten unhealthy I have just eaten large portions and have eaten quite a bit during the late night hours which isn't a good thing to do.  I have put together a better eating plan and schedule as well as a workout schedule that starts off slowly but after a few weeks starts to get tougher which is exactly what I need.

I know its going to take me a month or two to really get a good flow and feel for this blogging stuff so bare with me in the meantime and if you have any pointers feel free to let me hear them.  I will try to do 2-3 posts a week on top of my reviews and hopefully as I get the hang of this that will increase as well.
