TAKEN 2 International Trailer Drops and Reminds Us Why We Don't Leave Our Country

I remember when hearing about the premise of the first TAKEN and thinking it seemed silly. One man taking out an entire sect of a sex slavery operation to rescue his daughter in a foreign country? Oh, and it's pretty violent and  PG-13? Yeah, okay, that'll totally not work. I was so wrong. TAKEN ended up being on the biggest surprises for me that year. Not only was it a fun thriller, it solidified Liam Neeson's action hero badass-ness.

And with most profitable films, we obviously have to have a sequel. Now you would think Neeson and his daughter would learn a lesson and not travel outside the country anymore, but apparently not, especially when the rest of the foreign Turkish mob is now after you. But this time the mom is along with the journey!

Check the trailer after the break.

From The "I Can't Believe This Is A Real Movie" Files: BATTLESHIP teaser arrives!

Not an actual movie set.

Javi here.  I know it's funny for me to make fun of a movie that's based off of a Hasbro property as is director Peter Berg's BATTLESHIP, considering I have a certain amount of love/hate relationship w/the TRANSFORMERS movies and GI JOE: RISE OF COBRA.  The only difference is that the previous two properties had fiction, BATTLESHIP is a board game.  Where the hell are the red pegs? Anyway, earlier today Yahoo released the trailer.  Check it out below.
