My favorite flick of the year until the Avengers came out. Liam Neeson leads a group Alaskan oil workers who are on their way home for for a break but then their plane crashes. The crash site is in the middle of nowhere and the men quickly find out they are being hunted by wolves. Luckily Mr. Neeson's job is protecting these men while they work in the elements as he kills wolves and has alot of knowledge about them. Unfortunately he does not have his weapons so he has to come up with some crafty ways to defend the group of men. This is a great action film with a little bit of everything as the situation this group of men are put in really breaks them down and makes them appreciate what they have or once had. Highly Recommended. BTW, stay through the end credits.
I have just about given up network TV. Most of the shows are bad, networks do not want to offend anyone, and the days of letting an audience discover a show to let it nurture are over. I am a big fan of the shows on FX and AMC right now. These cable networks will at least commit to a whole season for a show to give it a chance to grow and let the audience give it some time to like it. AMC's new western wants to be like Deadwood and that's great because that was one of the best shows on TV before it was dropped. This is a show about an ex soldier out to avenge the death of his family and takes a job with the railroad that is expanding west to get closer to the killers he is after. There are some nice little Outlaw Josey Wales elements here and they are some great side stories as well. Give season 1 a spin because it has been renewed for a second season.
