In recent years, Liam Neeson has evolved as a actor. His recent movie roles have been quite different from movies such as: Rob Roy, Darkman, and Nell. He's always been a good actor, but now he is completely convincing in any role he assumes. This holds true for Unknown.
The premise is a doctor on his way to a summit in Berlin, gets in a car crash, and then has selective amnesia. The twist is his wife claims he is not her husband, Dr. Harris. His I.D. and passport were not found with him and he only remembers who he is after he sees a news clip about the upcoming summit. When, he discharges himself from the hospital and finds his wife she acts like she doesn't know him. There's plenty of twists and turns and I really enjoyed this movie, because it makes you think and it is entertaining. I'm trying not to put spoilers in my reviews, so I don't ruin movies before you get a chance to see them. It's both a chick flick and an action movie for the guys. Go ahead and have a date/movie night you will both enjoy!

The drive-in is a fun place to watch movies!!
I go to the drive-in at least once a week to see new movies. It's a inexpensive way to watch movies that i'm not sure about. If a movie looks really good, I will go to a indoor theatre. So, it was double feature night at the Westwind Drive-in (http://www.westwinddriveins.com/di-index.html) and I decided to watch Unknown with Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, and Frank Langella and the only second feature I hadn't seen The Roomate with Brooke Leighton. Today, I'm going to review Unknown.

The Green Hornet(2011)
I remember watching the original television show. I loved martial arts movies and Bruce Lee when I was a kid, but I am by no means a Green Hornet purist. If you are, do not watch this movie. I've heard from good sources, it will just make you angry.
Now if you can watch Green Hornet as a stand alone picture, you are in for a surprise. A newly slimmed down Seth Rogen as Britt Reid, Jay Chou as Kato, and Cameron Diaz as the brainy temp make for a funny movie. It was entertaining. The most uncomfortable moment was Britt and Kato having a whiny, woe is me, bromance moment that lasted about three minutes. The resulting fight scene where they take out their frustration and jealousy was worth it though. The story line is simple and classic. You have the good guys trying to beat the bad guys. What makes this movie so much fun is: cool cars, cool gadgets, good chemistry between Seth Rogen and Jay Chou, and things blow up. I think its worth the price of admission, popcorn, and drink.
