Concerning Life as It Is Supposed to Be

How to Protect a Daughter’s Virginity…

…all you need to know is right there in the movie Taken. You simply need to be equipped and prepared to take out half of Paris in the process. If you’ve seen it, you know what I mean.

It’s troubling to know that the background for this movie – sex trafficking – is real. It is one of those awful realities that I like to forget about in my comfortable suburban living room.

That aside, here is Liam Neeson channeling Jason Bourne (and illustrating for me the one consistent thematic reality of action movies: bad guys can’t shoot). It’s roller coaster good.

    My teen-age boys went out to see this movie and came back with mediocre praise. My daughter (11) hosted a sleep over with a half-dozen girl-friends and they all loved it. Last night I watched it with my wife and I loved it too. I don't mind half of Paris being cleaned-up. You have to be a dad or a daughter to really appreciate this one.
