  The bloody thing with these Re-boots is you never know if it´s not just for the sake of keeping the rights.
  
  
  The Banshees of Inisheer is probably worth seeing for the title alone already.

  Martin Campbell will direct Liam Neeson in the crime thriller Memory.
  
  The film follows Alex Lewis (Neeson), an expert assassin with a reputation for discreet precision, but when he refuses to complete a job for a dangerous criminal organization, he becomes a target and must go on the hunt for those who want him dead. Veteran FBI agents and a Mexican intelligence liaison are brought in to investigate the trail of bodies left in Lewis' wake. With both the crime syndicate and FBI in hot pursuit, he has the skills to stay ahead, except for one thing – he is struggling with severe memory loss, affecting his every move and making his objective increasingly difficult to complete.

  I played Monster Hunter: World when did first came it out. It did nothing for me, and honsetly.... i'm surprised it has done as well as it has. Maybe it's grown into something special, but I have enough games on my plate at the moment, and for the foreseeable future. I'm in no harry to try it again.
