1. Heights. Liam says, quote, "I do have a fear of heights but my son and I recently climbed this little peak called Mollie's Nipple in Utah. It's only 3,000 feet or something, but I was [S-word]-scared, especially getting nearer the summit.
"It wasn't pickaxe time but it was pretty steep. Everybody says don't look down but you have to look down. It was scary but I'm glad I did it."
2. Technology. Quote, "It terrifies me. I'm fine with this [old iPhone] but every month [my sons] are telling me to change to the latest version, and [I say], 'Oh shut up.' . . . I know they've put some gremlin in there, saying: 'Oh, he's had that phone for two years. It's time.' I swear, that's what they do."
3. Guns. "I'm totally for gun control in the U.S. The population of America is roughly 300 million and there are 300 million guns in this country, which is terrifying. Every day we're seeing some kid running rampant in a school."

Liam Neeson's "A Walk Among the Tombstones", "The Maze Runner", and Kevin Smith's "Tusk" Are in Theaters
1. "A Walk Among the Tombstones" (R) Trailer
Liam Neeson is an unlicensed private detective who agrees to track down the people who murdered a drug dealer's wife AFTER he'd paid the ransom. And he soon realizes the killers have been targeting other dealers too.
It's based on Lawrence Block's mystery novels about private investigator Matt Scudder. Jeff Bridges played the same character in the 1986 movie "8 Million Ways to Die" . . . except Scudder was still a cop in that movie.
2. "The Maze Runner" (PG-13) Trailer
Dylan O'Brien from MTV's "Teen Wolf" is trapped in a futuristic maze called The Glade, with a group of other teenage boys who have no memory of their previous lives. It's based on a young adult book sort of like "The Hunger Games".
Each day the group leaves the safety of the central part of the Glade to map out part of the maze, before walls close to block out deadly creatures that roam the maze at night. Until one day when the protective walls STOP closing.
Will Poulter from "We're the Millers" plays Dylan's main rival in the group. And "Game of Thrones" fans will recognize one of Dylan's friends as the psychic kid who guides Brandon Stark beyond The Wall.
3. "This is Where I Leave You" (R) Trailer
Four adults . . . Tina Fey, Jason Bateman, Adam Driver from "Girls", and Corey Stoll from "House of Cards" . . . agree to honor their father's final wish and live at home under the same roof again for one week. Jane Fonda plays their widowed mom.
Kevin Smith wrote and directed this "Human Centipede"-type horror movie about a guy who lures Justin Long to house under the pretext of doing a podcast interview . . . before drugging him and slowly turning him into a human WALRUS.
It was inspired by a bizarre online post Kevin read while doing HIS podcast. Then he had people on social media vote on whether he should make a movie about it. (Listen Kevin talk about how it came together here. WARNING! Profanity.)
The bad guy is played by Michael Parks, a character actor who plays Texas Ranger Earl McGraw in "From Dusk Til Dawn", "Grindhouse", and the "Kill Bill" movies.
Haley Joel Osment and Genesis Rodriquez are Justin's best friend and girlfriend. And you'll also see Johnny Depp as a private detective.
