60-second cinema

5 out of 10 Hollywood is always on the lookout for a great comedian. So when someone appears in a very funny film, they then get them to appear in a string of absolute rubbish. Take Steve Martin in a Man with 2 Brains and then... Robin Williams was in Good Morning Vietnam and then .... Will Ferrell. Well, I had never seen him in anything funny, so I was looking forward to this because this is apparently the film. Well, after watching this film, all I can say is “oh dear”. I think I laughed out loud only twice. In summary, poor. Come on, Will — if you really are a great comedian, do something intelligent rather than just acting stupid.

6 out of 10 Surprise Surprise this is not an intellectual thinking man's film but a good bit of brain candy. As brain candy goes it is no where near the best but at least the film continues the Die Hard series attempts to have something different. The plot line involes virtual terrorism something you just would not expect in a Steven Seagal or Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. In summary this unfortunately is not Die Hard or even Die Hard 2 but at least it is considerably better than Die Hard 3.
