Live Free or Die Hard (2007)
Timothy Olyphant's face is worth it
Yeah the film was fine and the action is entertaining if not a bit over the top but it is Die Hard after all. Bruce Willis is good, he's there doing his thing as John McClane and being the worlds best cop dad blah blah blah. Justin Long is...there along with some other people, however the best bit about this movie is Timothy Olyphant and that glorious face of his :)
Yum yum he's so yummy
Seriously though, Timothy Olyphant is such a handsome man, it's SUPER distracting ! In fact it's so distracting you'll kinda forget about the whole movie and just live for the scenes where that gorgeous face is on the screen :)
Spoiler: Bang bang Bruce Willis shot him down but dang dang that face is forever burned into my skull.
The Polar Express (2004)
The Dead Eye Express
If I boarded this train I'd purposely loose my ticket in hopes of actually being thrown off...
Yes this film is nearly 20 years old and has become a favourite among the classic Christmas films but why I don't no ? If it's anything it's a Tom Hank's fever dream...the dudes literally everywhere ! He's the train conductor, the hobo ghost man, the main boy and even Santa ! It's like a bad trip ! And I love Tom Hanks.
Oh and the eyes...omg the eyes of all the children are so lifeless, their expressions blank and emotionless! I know the animation was deemed groundbreaking at the time but it's awful and somewhat unpleasant to watch because of how jarring they look. Stuff of nightmares not Christmas cheer !
Also why are they all voiced by adults - especially the annoying 'know it all' kid ! I mean seriously what child sounds like that ?
Such a bizarre film.
Predestination (2014)
Ethan Hawke does pick some odd films
I don't know where to start with this film, it's got so much going for it and yet it comes across as dull and pointless, plus your brain will hurt after watching it.
The basic story/idea is interesting but it's told in such dull confusing way that you kinda don't care once you get to the end, in fact you feel a sense of relief because it's over ! Not what you want in a film really. It's a bit all or nothing aswell!
The time travel stuff is decent, I especially like the item used for the time travelling. Also love Ethan Hawke, he's a great actor and I enjoy watching him on screen (even if he stars in some odd films). Beautiful eyes too.
First Reformed (2017)
A film that deserves your full attention !
I loved this film...the second time I watched it !
First time I saw this film I found it interesting and enjoyed Ethan Hawkes performance, however I didn't understand it and the end scene completely through me. There were lots of things I missed along the the way aswell.
On second viewing I gave it my full attention and fell in love with it. I enjoyed the story more and felt it made more sense. The end scene seemed very fitting aswell and I liked that it could be interpreted in different ways.
Slight spoiler side note - I think everyone deserves to be kissed like that at least once in their life - very beautiful scene !
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)
I wonder how many times KEY is said in the film?
A 2 hour and 45 minute film about a key and people talking about said key !
Have I got the key ? Do you have the key ? Who has the key? Does anyone have the key ? I actually don't care anymore and would like whoever has the key to use it as a weapon and put me out of my misery !
Aside from that the action scenes are great fun, Tom Cruise does lots of running and plays Russian roulette with his life.....although I'm pretty sure he's made a deal with devil and is immortal. He's certainly aging slower than most 61 year olds ! 5/10
Also side note: why do these reviews require 600 or more characters ? So annoying.
