Pass or Fail: The Battleship Grey

Two trailers. On thing in common. Zero room for Error! This week I look at two films coming out this year starring Liam Neeson. 

Pass: The Grey


Does anybody remember when seeing Liam Neeson in a film meant it was going to be dramatic Oscar bait? Schindler's List, Rob Roy, Kinsey? Well, something funny happened. Liam Neeson has decided to beat the living hell out of everything. EVERYTHING! Now he has turned his attention to smacking wolves around. No, you didn't misread that. He is strapping tiny liquor bottles to his hand and punching wild wolves in the mouths! I don't care if this film is any good. This trailer has the guy from "Nell" being Wolverine, but more awesome. 

Fail: Battleship

Hasbro, I've seen all three "Transformers" movies already, and I don't think a fourth one is necessary. Wait, what? This is not a "Transformers" movie? This is a film based off of Battleship? The board game? Oh boy... I don't understand why this has happened. I guess people shelling out money hand over fist to see Michael Bay's abortion of cinema has put the toy company in the mood to keep remaking the same movie, over and over again. Oh, and Rihanna is apparently in this film. No, thank you.

Extra Pass: Warwick Davis, Ricky Gervais, and Stephen Merchant improv with Liam Neeson on the series "Life's Too Short". People offended by jokes about AIDS should probably not watch this.
