Hostage - Bruce Willis action/adventure

Advantages: Action/adventure, Bruce Willis
Disadvantages: Quite Violent

...Hostage - Would you sacrifice another family to save your own? This is the dilemma facing Bruce Willis in the film Hostage. It's not one of his well known films as far as I'm concerned but it is still a Bruce Willis classic, i.e., lots of guns and violence etc. The film was released in 2005 and was actually based on a novel by Robert Crais. As I don't like to spoil films in my reviews I will just give you a brief overview of the plot. Bruce Willis is a police chief in a small town, the fictional Bristo Camino in Ventura California. Apparently, for anyone who knows California the town is supposed to resemble Ojai or Moorpark. Having been to both places I could see how that could be true. Bruce (Jeff Talley) has recently moved here from Los Angeles where he was a hostage negotiator but after a very harrowing last job he decides to...

Review of Hostage (DVD)

Who needs Christmas Crackers with Bruce Willis around? BANG!!

Advantages: Great film with lots of action
Disadvantages: None for me

... DIE HARD 2: DIE HARDER FILM ONLY REVIEW This is the second of four Die Hard films. The main character John McClane, of course, played by Bruce Willis. John McClane is a tough, brave, strong and ready for anything sort of guy - as we saw in the first Die Hard!! His story: John McClane was once a New York City police officer. His wife Holly played by Bonnie Bedelia finds a job in California and decided leave to start a life with their 2 daughters despite McClane's decision to stay in New York City to fight crime. After becoming a hero when saving a plethora of people at the Nagasaki building from terrorists in the original movie "Die Hard", John McClane moved to California to be with his family and became an officer for the L.A.P.D. Like Die Hard; Die Hard 2 begins on Christmas Eve in...

Review of Die Hard 2 (DVD)

BRUCE WILLIS SAVES THE DAY IN HIS VEST

Advantages: Funny, tense, exciting - it's a Die Hard film!!
Disadvantages: None

... DIE HARD 2 FILM ONLY REVIEW This is the second in the Die Hard quadrilogy, following on the story of John McLean, a police officer from LA. He has become a bit of a superstar after his work in the first film where he put his own life on the line to sort out a so called "hostage" situation in an office block, and ended up out witting the robbers. This film is - like the first - set at Christmas, John McLean is meeting his wife Holly at the Washington DC airport, who is on a plane on the way to see him. This poor chap always seem to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. In this sequel John McClane (Bruce Willis) finds himself in the middle of a terrorist plot to free a Middle East terrorist leader at the airport ( Ido hope he has a clean vest on!) The film is full of a fantastic number of special...

Review of Die Hard 2 (Special Edition) (DVD)

Bruce Willis thriller that's flawed but fun

Advantages: Action sequences are great, engaging characters.
Disadvantages: Ending is flat.

...Despite the odd forays into comedy (What Just Happened, The Whole Nine Yards) and mysterious dramas (Sixth Sense, Unbreakable) Bruce Willis is very much an action star through and through, from the early successes of Die Hard and Die Hard with a Vengeance to later blockbusters Hostage and Die Hard 4.0. Willis is simply a great action star; not just with his casual approach to death defying stunts and high octane sequences, but also with his endearing use of deadpan humour and wit. His performances are natural and far from stilted, putting Vin Diesel, Steven Seagal and even the great Sylvester Stallone in the shade and making him one of our favourite hard-man actors. Two films have stood out in Willis?s illustrious career; Die Hard and The Sixth Sense. On its release in 1988 Die Hard blew audiences away with its inspired mixture...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Bruce Lee Story

Advantages: Excellent Movie, Brilliant Acting
Disadvantages: Aparrently not full truth to life

...The Bruce Lee Story Last night I sat in at watched this movie on TV, I am not very into martial arts but I like life stories so I watched it. Basic Intro? It started off as Bruce Lee as a young boy living in china with his father and his father is teaching him how to fight and defend himself in the real world. His father had no choice but to send his son away once he was old enough in order for him to have a better life. So off he went to America where he ended up washing dishes for a living as he was seen very different by the Americans. One day as he was working out in the gym, he was spotted for his moving skills and his fighting skills and was asked to teach the people what he knows. So, he started teaching his fighting moves, it started with 2 boys, then 1 girl, then a huge class. It was this class where he met his wife...
