Cop Out is a comedy about two cops trying to catch a murdering, drug dealing bad guy. On top of that, one of the cops (Willis), has a daughter that is getting married soon and he wants to pay for the wedding. Unfortunately for him, he doesn’t have the money, and decides to sell his valued baseball card. Only problem is, the card has been stolen.

Overall, the film wasn’t that good; a lot of the scenes were long and over drawn out, what started out funny, became stupid. I was really expecting more from a Kevin Smith film. This film will be a good rental, only if there is nothing else on the shelf.

Budget: $30 million
Director: Kevin Smith
Starring:
Bruce Willis

This 1999 film, starring Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment is awesome. I remember seeing it for the first time in theaters and how fascinated I was, trying to figure out what the relevance of the color red meant; then at the end, when the bombshell was dropped – or should I say the wedding ring. Quickly followed by the revealing shots.

The most memorable line from the film: “I see dead people. Walking around like regular people. They don’t see each other. They only see what they want to see. They don’t know they’re dead.”

Truly a great film!

Surrogates is one of the latest films starring Bruce Willis. Though there is a new Die Hard Film in the works. The film about a future where the people use machines, known as Surrogates, to do the work of daily life. Most people have accepted and welcomed the chance to simply stay home and get things done while plugged in to a machine. But there are some, having organized and set up camps, that reject the surrogates and want the rest of the world to do the same. These people have managed to get their hands on a weapon that not only destroys the machines, but it also kills the people plugged into them. Enter Bruce Willis. He’s a cop and he’s trying to find the weapon and stop them from killing everyone on the planet.

Budget: $80 million

Most people love this film when they see it, even if they didn’t quite understand what was going on all the time. The film itself, with the unique cinematography, lighting and action makes it a great film. What’s gonna make it even better is that Sin City 2 is scheduled for release next year, with Sin City 3 following the year after.

Most of this film was shot in front of a green screen, which gives credit to the actors, since most of the time, they were responding and acting to things that weren’t there.

The movie is loaded with action, hot women, and an all star cast.

Budget: $40 million
Director: Frank Miller
Starring:
Bruce Willis
Clive Owen
Brittany Murphy
Jessica Alba
Mickey Rourke
Alexis Bledel
Benicio Del Toro

Live Free or Die Hard is the latest in the Die Hard series. The film is full of action from the beginning – all the way to the end. And in traditional John McClane fashion, it has hilarious out takes and plays on previous films.

The plot of the film is about a rogue group of people that are taking over the essential aspects of our economy and security. It’s up to John and his unwilling sidekick Matt Farrell to stop them, save the day, and rescue his daughter. The film is really, really good.

Budget: $110 million
Director: Len Wiseman
Starring:
Bruce Willis

It’s kinda abnormal for animals to possess intelligence as humans but that’s the fun in fables where humans are involved, right? And so it is in this movie. The actors are so engrossed with their animal characters that even Nick Nolte had to research his role just as his voice would be that of a bear. But to be “fair” to the animals too, in this movie, they just want to get back at the humans for pursuing a development project in the wilds and creating a hedge between them.

Full riot from start to finish. Fun fun fun, kids will be delighted to watch, grown-ups as well.

 Trivia:

The art department went to a bowling alley to sketch the design of the ‘perfect’ vending machine. They went to various supermarkets to sketch chip bags and bottles. They eventually got kicked out of a Safeway because the manager felt uncomfortable with them being there for such an extended amount of time.

Perfect Stranger is the perfect vehicle to revive Halle Berry ’s career, now obscured by the more charming Eva Longoria. Perfect Stranger likewise is the perfect prelude to Bruce Willis’ long-awaited Die Hard 4.0 sequel. The latter statement may be a bit of an insult but that’s simply the reality. Perfect Stranger was slated for an April 13 release as a come on for Die Hard 4.0. Be that as it may, Perfect Stranger looks like Basic Instinct and can be fairly tolerated if you are a Bruce Willis and a Halle Berry fan. Watch out for its DVD release and judge it for yourself.
