Maggie Grace is familiar with the appeal of an action film spearheaded by writer/producer Luc Besson’s (Taken, The Fifth Element) EuropaCorp — particularly one in which she has been abducted. Her role as the kidnapped daughter of a man (Liam Neeson) who will stop at nothing to retrieve her in Taken propelled the actress onto the world stage more than any of her previous work. Besson’s latest actioner Lockout, opens in theaters this weekend (read our review).

Kofi Outlaw Reviews Comic-Con Episdoe IV: A Fan’s Hope
Morgan Spurlock’s latest documentary focuses on a small slice of Americana, rather than commenting on the entire apple pie (see: Super-Size Me, Greatest Movie Ever Sold). It also keeps the prolific documentarian behind the camera, rather than in front of it. Whether you’re a fan or not of Spurlock’s previous documentary features, you’ll want to know going in that you’re going to get something slightly different with Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope - in every sense of the term.
