Perfect Stranger - Dir: James Foley


This is an interesting one. Halle Berry and Bruce Willis are always watchable if they have the right material. It seems here that they just about do. Halle Berry plays a journalist that is trying to snair the killer of one of her friends. The main suspect is Bruce Willis' ad agency head character who is known to have met her online and subsequently had an affair. It's a slow burner but not in a boring way, more in a purring Halle Berry way, which is ironic considering the terrible Cat Woman movie she was in. Bruce Willis is also okay and reminds us how before he was John Maclane, he was the romantic guy in the TV series Moonlighting. It has a great ending. This is a JM RECOMMENDS.

Die Hard 4.0 - Dir: Len Wiseman


Best movie of the year so far without doubt. This is an old school action movie and vintage John Maclane. Nice plot revolving around hackers taking the US economy down, with Bruce Willis in the wrong place at the right time. Funny but not cheesy in places, good direction from the director of Underworld, and some money shot action scenes. One in particular near the end with a plane and freeway is very reminiscent of True Lies. This is most definitely a JM RECOMMENDS.
