Movie Review – Ladder 49
Filed Under Movie Reviews, Movies Not Starring Bruce Willis | Leave a Comment
Here’s a tear jerker for you, ready for your heart-strings to be pulled? Its a nice film (quite slow in places) and not what I was expecting (its not an action-packed thriller) but its still a good film and well worth a watch.
7/10 – well worth a watch

Movie Review – Valentine
Filed Under Movie Reviews, Movies Not Starring Bruce Willis | Leave a Comment
Who did it? Its not going to win any awards but its not bad at what it does and, if you are as vacant as me, will keep you guessing til the end. Oh, and for those who like movies for the beautiful people in them, you’ll be happy with this one.
7/10 – Solid, not awe inspiring, but solid.

Movie Review – 10 Things I Hate About You
Filed Under Movie Reviews, Movies Not Starring Bruce Willis | Leave a Comment
Its cheesy, its corny, its soppy but I just don’t care because its brilliant. Lots of genuinly funny scenes, great chemistry and of course way better once you’ve watched the outtakes, they looked like they had fun. Oh and its sweet and romantic too, this is one for everyone.
8/10 – Watch it over and over again and you probably wont be bored.

Movie Review – Superbad
Filed Under Movie Reviews, Movies Not Starring Bruce Willis | Leave a Comment
Brilliant, just brilliant. Much better the second time round, I think I’ve now watched it (to fall asleep to) about ten times. Fun, quirky, silly and awesome all in one. Fantastic moments and highly amusing lines throughout.
9/10 – Excellent, there’s no reason not to buy this, unless of course you already have it.

Movie Review – The X Files (1998)
Filed Under Movie Reviews, Movies Not Starring Bruce Willis | Leave a Comment
Mulder & Scully investigate weird things, as always. However dated it is in places its a real easy watch. If you’re an X Files fan its awesome, if you’re not its still not a bad movie at all.
7/10 – switch on, sit back and think of nothing

Movie Review – In Bruges
Filed Under Movie Reviews, Movies Not Starring Bruce Willis | Leave a Comment
Okay so Charlotte, Mummy2 and Bigs didn’t think much to it but I really enjoyed it. Its deliberately awkward and very very funny. Great cast, great plot, just great.
8/10 – for people who like slow movies with awkward humour.

Movie Review – Mirrors
Filed Under Movie Reviews, Movies Not Starring Bruce Willis | Leave a Comment
Films are made or broken by their endings, unfortunately Mirrors was broken by its ending. Its a really intriguing film throughout, quite intense, quite spooky and Kiefer (while I will always call him ‘Jack’) was very convincing.
7/10 – would’ve been higher if it hadn’t let itself down.

Movie Review – Tropic Thunder
Filed Under Movie Reviews, Movies Not Starring Bruce Willis | Leave a Comment
For me, its a very comedic film but not a laugh-out-loud movie. There are lots of funny little things about the film (including Tom Cruise who I didn’t see until the second time he appeared) and its well worth a watch but my sides weren’t split, not even slightly torn.
7/10, you will smile throughout.

Movie Review – The Mutant Chronicles
Filed Under Movie Reviews, Movies Not Starring Bruce Willis | Leave a Comment
You know, its not a great film but its very watchable. Some of the gore is really well done and the cast aren’t too bad. Its super cheesey but the look and feel of the film is really well put together. Its set in the future but looks very much like the past. Of course you have Sean Pertwee and Ron Perlman so instantly it has to be good, oh and mutants with a long and pointy arm, oh and pointless scenes.
7/10, maybe not one to buy, but certainly one to watch with the brain firmly switched to ‘vacant’.

Brilliant… just utterly brilliant. Action that you really feel, they certainly aren’t shy with the violence and its how it should be. Neeson is thoroughly enjoyable to watch and the pain he deals out is fantastic. REALLY worth watching, a few times over, even if its just to see heads getting smashed into things.
9/10, wow.
