This guy was Oscar Schindler for fucks sake. Now all his movies involve him retrieving what was taken from him and kicking ass along the way. He's like the new Harrison Ford. When do you think Neeson will step out of his Air Force One phase and enter his Morning Glory phase?

1. Neeson did Aaron Spelling movies and sci-fi/fantasy before Schindler's List. Just because he was in a series of period dramas for a four-to-five year span doesn't mean he's always been an actor of great prestige. Less than half a decade after Schindler's List, he started working on the mighty twosome of The Haunting and Star Wars: Episode 1.

2. Neeson's movies are much better now that he's doing more populist fare. I'd argue his movies in the last decade are even better than his movies from the entire first part of his career.

Dude was Aslan, Ra's Al Ghul, and Zeus in the last six years. He's a fucking icon now.

This year, he was already in a movie that may get him Oscar buzz in The Grey, and he'll be featured in four of the biggest money makers of 2012, Wrath of the Titans, The Dark Knight Rises, Battleship, and Taken 2. He very well may be the best part of all four of those films too (I kinda expect Wrath and Battleship to suck, but as long as Neeson pulls an A-Team and has fun with those parts, he'll be awesome to watch).

Schindler got him on the list for the top dramatic roles but most of the films he did afterwards didn't fare that well so I could see him not getting the pick of the litter after a while.
After Taken, he got near the top of the action movie roles so he's been taking those.
It also might just be a coincidence but he really jumped full force into the lighter roles in 2010 and I believe all of those movies filmed after his wife died. He might have just wanted to keep busy with easier roles or roles he could have fun with after that.

The scene in which he's yelling at God, "FUCK FAITH, EARN IT!", and he's super emotional... goddamn, that felt like I was listening to him cry about his wife. Really emotionally involving.

So I wouldn't say they're *easier*... but they're certainly a big distraction and they force him to be working out constantly and trying to push himself physically harder than ever. Which is really important when trying to keep your mind off your dead wife.

A-Team, Clash of the Titans, Next Three Days, Narnia.

Then again, Next Three Days and Unknown both focus on a man and his wife so maybe that's something that drew him to the films (even if it's not his character that is focused on his wife in Next Three Days.)

Or his wife's death might have nothing to do with it and it was just that he was getting offered those bigger paychecked leading roles off of the strength of Taken.

I mean leave some of the buildings for people to live in dude.

But you're right, he was also in Love Actually which i love by the way, so yea he's not above doing really anything.

He'll take a role that he finds interesting and runs with it.

I like that about him.

He's a ok with me.

Yeah, he totally sonned me, huh? I liked how he responded to my argument by pointing out that his films are more popular and profitable nowadays, therefore they must be good, right?

I know he's always done those kinds of roles but it seems like that's ALL he's doing recently. What's the last real movie he's done? Kinsey? Secondly, you must be high if you think he'll even be nominated for an Oscar for the grey. How do you kids get high nowadays? Bath salts?

So... yeah.

How about a gentlemens wager? If he gets nominated binlahab can delete my account, if he doesnt, he deletes your account?

Him getting one is dependent on a wide variety of factors-- who else is in contention and how much money his studio puts into a For Your Consideration campaign, in particular. Since Daniel Day Lewis, Al Pacino, Sean Penn, Robert DeNiro, Tom Hanks, and Philip Seymour Hoffman all have leading roles next year, it's impossible to say with certainty who will get a nom.

But he will be in consideration. You can write that down.

i remember reading this earlier this year, and so far it hasn't really worked out this way. i enjoyed the grey (which i saw at the movie theater after reading PTP), but it seems i was one of the few who saw it or liked it much. admittedly i missed wrath of the titans, but it just didn't look like something i'd want to spend my money seeing on the big screen. maybe it's awesome, but from the reaction i've seen, i doubt it. the first one was ok. battleship was very flawed, especially the story and acting, and i don't think neeson really shined in it either. it just seemed like an easy paycheck rather than a performance or film he cared about. TDKR he was barely in. obviously you didn't know that when you wrote your post, but it's not worth delving into. i did like his performance as ra's in the trilogy. i thought of this post because taken 2 is about to open. doing the sequel seemed like another cash in (in the movie franchise and remake craze), and i'm not really convinced otherwise by the trailer. i will probably watch it at some point, but this year didn't pan out as it could have and as i would have liked for him.

then read Longo's reply and all the "OMG cosign!!!" replies and was kind of confused.....then I saw the reply dates
right today it is looking like he's on the other side of his career
might as well cash out

~~~~~~

... as it implies his career is on the backhalf, when in reality he's making a sequel to the film that made him a legit leading man who can open a film. Why wouldn't he make a sequel for the biggest solo hit of his career by a landslide, especially if he likes the idea and many of the people behind the film are the same?

Plus, it's not like Neeson is an actor of great integrity anyhow. He's got a number of terrible films sprinkled through his filmography. Hence the accusation the OP makes is pretty offbase from the jump, and Part 1 of my first reply.

big deal

Because PTP dorks have generally appreciated Mr. Neeson's all-around body of work

Who else is gonna kick ass and be believable at it?

He's turning in solid roles in better then average action movies (Titans aside), I can't see how anyone can hate.

sorry dont want to knock another very good actor, but think I'd take Liam's career in a heartbeat even without the oscar.

after the death of his wife. that had to make him feel all sorts of powerless. now he can play the badass that's in control and can stop harm to him and his family.

LOL. Or maybe they just pull a dump truck full of money into his driveway. FOH

ANY edition of "Liam Neeson Will Fucking Kill You" is sure to be awesome. Popcorn flicks don't really get better; these are very well made action movies that hold up without need for insane special effects or over the top fight sequences. Outside of the outstanding bourne trilogy, there really isn't anything fucking with Liam's recent action catalog. All this "he's sold his soul" nonsense is puzzling; these are genuinely quality movies that his presence adds weight to.

I could see if they were michael bay level flicks without a drop of substance, but that isn't the case. Basically, you come across like the smarmy "I only watch indy films" movie goer, which is fine if that's your lane, but as far as it concerns your seeming disdain for the LN action flicks, it definitely paints you as somewhat aloof and small minded.

1. I hate indie films.
2. I never said he "sold his soul." He's getting millions of dollars for a few months work. I'd do that in a heartbeat.
3. So just because I don't like insipid, trite, derivative, and uninspired action flicks I'm somehow a snob? I think it's just called having halfway decent taste, bro. I don't just show up at the theater and watch whatever they're showing, like you probly do. I happen to appreciate GOOD action films. I just watched Haywire and I really enjoyed that.

Better characters, better script, better thrills, better everything. The only thing The Grey didn't have that Haywire did was a woman who is awesome at fighting and terrible at acting.

The fight scenes were cool, but they were maybe 5% of the movie. The rest of it was so intenseless (word making!) that it took me three days to finish the movie.

I said kind of? I meant totally.

I shake my head at the username every time I see it.

is hip-hop to blame for this idea that you can't make good art and get paid.

if you're not George Clooney, Brad Pitt, or Johnny Depp, you get 'typed'. Neeson is just cashing in while the iron is hot. because in Hollywood, literally one day your hot and the next your hoping Tarantino casts you to re-jump your career.

he's an actor not a patron saint of art.

because if so, I have to see that.

and it looks like this clip was better quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbdeAhpIPhE&feature=related

Liam was only in the 1st one, then replaced by Arnold "The Mummy" Vosloo, then Jeff Fahey mostly in the 3rd one (cos Darkman can assume anyones identity, thus the swappage). Larry Drake as the villain ("Durant") is awesome. is worth watchin back-to-back-to-back one night when u aint got shitelse to do. me personally i saw all of em on a tinyass b&w tv in the heart of Beirut in 1999 lol. was in love since then.

Liam Neeson on Sportscenter... more an indictment of ESPN than Neeson, honestly.
