Ok so assuming you’ve seen
the previous movies in this series you’ll know exactly what to expect,
something bad happens to the President and then Mike has to try to save the day
in some way, shape or form. In the beginning of this one there’s not much new in
the sense of it’s the same story re-hash, then it gives a bit more, where its
Mike in the firing line and he must solve who’s set him up which is a bit
different. Yeah this is as expected a good action flick, which is filled with violence,
explosions, guns and all that jazz that make these films just a good watch. Yep
if you like a good lot of action and a bit of story thrown in to give it
something then this one is worth looking at.

Crawl
(15) – what’s it about?
There’s a hurricane and it becomes a matter of survival for a father and
daughter in gator country.
I wasn’t sure what to
think of this, I’d seen the posters and I can’t even remember seeing an advert
for it, but I just knew it was a survival horror about alligators and I thought
meh this could either be ok or really naff. But yeah, I was actually really
surprised by how good this film was, it had the right level of suspense which
was kept up throughout – it was really nail biting. It was a bit gross in
parts, a little too icky for my liking in parts which made me hide my eyes as I
don’t really like seeing close up gore. Yeah, it’s a good survival horror, so
if you are into these then definitely check it out. And remember rule 2…don’t
get eaten.

Jonah
Hex (DVD – 15) – what’s
it about? Bounty hunter Hex gets paid to kill some old enemies who murdered his
family.
I’d seen this years ago
but couldn’t quite remember it and they had it cheap in the shop, so I thought
I’d pick it up and give it a re-watch. So if you don’t know this is a movie
adaptation of the DC comic, its quite nice to see something set in an old western
style rather than modern times or somewhere else, so it gives a bit of a
different vibe from most comic book adaptations. It’s got a bit of a story
which is pretty unbelievable, but the characters are alright, and it has a bit
of action. It’s not the best film though and I did find myself getting a little
distracted from it, so I feel it lacked slightly as if there’s a good story or
action I’m usually pretty entertained. I’d say its probably about a 2 ½ star
film.

Die
Hard 4.0 (DVD – 15) –
what’s it about? McClane must protect a hacker from a criminal organisation
that is set on destroying the world as we know it.
I thought I’d give this a
re-watch to complete my Die Hard movie recent re-watch. If you’ve seen all the
other Die Hard movies then you know the drill, this is an action flick where
John has to save the day from some kind of attack, so by now you’ll either know
if you love or hate them. I think out of all the Die Hard films this is
probably my favourite one, which may be because it’s a little more modern than
the others – making it less dated and the storyline is more up-to-date with
modern situations. As with most of these films there is enough story to give
the movie something but its mainly centred around the action – so there are
lots of guns, violence, car chases and what not. Yep if you are an action movie
fan and want to watch something where you can leave your brain at the door and
marvel in its crazy over the top storyline then this will be right up your
street. It’s probably really a 3 ½ star film.
