“This New Year, while many of us are taking down the Christmas tree, packing away the ornaments and wondering how we packed on ten pounds over the holidays, Hollywood stars like Liam Neeson, Chris Hemsworth and Johnny Depp are packing punches. They’ll be running and jumping, throwing hands and kicking, shooting and stabbing and generally causing mayhem on the big screen. In Taken 3 Liam Neeson returns as Brian Mills a former “preventer” for the US government. A specialist in black ops, he was an undercover agent who contained volatile situations before they got out of control. The first two times around Mills used his “particular set of skills” to rescue his family from kidnappers.

This Christmas season Irish actor Chris O’Dowd is on a search for identity.
In two separate projects airing in December on HBO Canada and the Movie Network the charming comedian plays a fish out of water; men whose lives have been turned upside down.
In the improvised series Family Tree he’s the thirty-something Tom Chadwick. Recovering from getting fired and being dumped, he inherits a mysterious box of “bits and bobs” from a dead great aunt. Among the old photos and clothing are hints to his genealogy. “It peaks his interest,” says O’Dowd, “and he has so much time on his hands he decides to explore his family tree.”
Directed by mockumentary master Christopher Guest, and co-starring a cast of comedy vets like Michael McKean, Ed Begley Jr. and Fred Willard, it’s a lighthearted look at Tom’s journey, from England to California, in pursuit of his roots and life’s meaning.
The movie The Sapphires sees O’Dowd on a different trip…
