Movies starring Bruce Willis

Blind Date (1987)

95 mins     Comedy, Romance      

You know how in "Gremlins" you weren't meant to feed them after midnight or else there would be trouble, well "Blind Date" is similar, don't give Kim Basinger any alcohol no matter what the time is. I had fond memories of "Bl...

Sunset (1988)

102 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime      

Here is my journey through "Sunset"; as a fan of old westerns the opening is terrific as we witness Tom coming to the rescue of a stagecoach. It is a scene from a movie being shot and is done in that old fashioned way as we w...

Look Who's Talking (1989)

93 mins     Comedy      

It is strange how the mind can play tricks on you especially when it comes to movies as I remember "Look Who's Talking" when it first came out and I am convinced it was a lot more entertaining than it was when I recently got ...

Die Hard 2 (1990)

124 mins     Action , Crime, Thriller      

Whilst Bruce Willis may have been an unlikely actor to become an action hero, he certainly managed it with "Die Hard" and its little surprise that after the success of "Die Hard" we got the sequel "Die Hard 2". What's good is...

Look Who's Talking Too (1990)

81 mins     Comedy      

I mentioned in my review of "Look Who's Talking" that I remembered enjoying it when it came out but watching it again many years later I was quite stunned how unfunny it was. Well let me tell you that not only does the same t...

The Last Boy Scout (1991)

105 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime

Death Becomes Her (1992)

104 mins     Comedy, Fantasy      

"Death Becomes Her" is a fun movie and has some very funny scenes as it delves deep into the rich area of looking young and living forever. But ultimately it ends up all sort of average as it bounds about a few funny scenes, ...

Striking Distance (1993)

102 mins     Action , Crime, Mystery      

If "Striking Distance" hadn't starred Bruce Willis maybe it would have been better, it's not that Willis puts in a terrible performance but the name sort of suggests certain things when we ware talking crime/drama/action. As ...

Color of Night (1994)

121 mins     Mystery, Romance, Thriller      

What is the difference between a comedy-thriller and a thriller-comedy? It is not just the sequence of words but also the fact whilst comedies which also have a thriller element work those which are thrillers first and try to...

Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995)

131 mins     Action , Crime, Thriller      

The longer the "Die Hard" movies have gone on the less entertaining they have become. What I mean is that the first "Die Hard" with it's limitations of an office block was great, "Die Hard 2" widened the space to an airport b...

Twelve Monkeys (1995)

129 mins     Mystery, Sci-Fi, Thriller      

I would imagine we all have them, movies which from a production perspective are the full package; great look, nice camera work, large characters, big performances as well as a story which is anything but routine but for some...

"The Siege" is not a great movie, I will tell you that straight away, but it is a movie which manages to deliver a thriller which has intelligence but also action something which seems surprisingly hard to do in more recent t...
