 Taken
Reviewed by Emma Hughes Directed by Pierre Morel, screenplay by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen. If you can suspend disbelief for two hours and you enjoy graphic violence, Taken is the film for you. Although it deals with heavy issues such as human trafficking, corruption and torture for the most part you won’t be required to engage your brain at all. Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) is a retired CIA operative who has moved to Los Angeles to be closer to 17-year-old Kimmy (Maggie Grace), the daughter he was so often absent from in her childhood. His intense career has wreaked havoc with his personal life, in particular his marriage to Lenore (Famke Janssen) who has now found a more stable husband and father for Kimmy in Stuart (Xander Berkeley). When Kimmy pleads for her father to let her holiday in Paris with friend Amanda (Katie Cassidy) he reluctantly consents subject to numerous strict guidelines. |

|
Thursday, 21 August 2008 |
While Mike will have to accept responsibility for this fraud it is important to look at how and why this could have happened. Perhaps we should look more closely at a system that puts pastors on pedestals, creates and fosters 'mountain-top' experiences as the epitome of the faith experience and thrives on hype.

Not quite terminal ... Michael Guglielmucci, who preached about his battle against deadly cancer, is getting professional help after being exposed as a fraud. HE preached to thousands about his terminal illness and tugged at hearts with a hit song. The problem is the pastor wasn't dying at all. |
