Although there is a lot of mixed reaction when it comes to the show “Moonlighting”, great Bruce Willis movies are memorable and thoroughly enjoyable for most of us, not just the die hard movie fans.
For some people it would have taken a long time to actually decide to rent a Bruce Willis movie on DVD, for others they would have been at the front of the queue each time one was released. A lot of people have been known to become “hooked” once they watch their first Bruce Willis movies.
When I first watched a Bruce Willis movie, it was strange that my first choice wasn’t Die Hard. In fact the first Bruce Willis movie that I watched was the comedy “Look who’s talking”. Although after this I was hooked, I wasn’t one of those people who thought Hudson Hawk and The Last Boy Scout were money grabbing exercises by the movie companies.
Through the years there have been some fantastic Bruce Willis movies at the cinema, movies like The Twelfth Monkey, Sixth Sense, and who could ever forget Pulp Fiction. There have also been some “not so good” Bruce Willis movies, like Armageddon.
‘Over The Hedge’ is the pinnacle of a long career. Actually; no, that should have read ‘Die Hard’, and ‘Over the Hedge’ is a very close fifth, or sixth, depending on when ‘Die Hard’ five arrives, and whether it can keep the franchise ticking along. Interestingly enough, and I use the term ‘interestingly’ in the loosest sense of the meaning, ‘Die Hard’ was based on a sequel to the book ‘The Detective’, and in the 1968 version of that film the lead character, ‘Joe Leland’, was played by Frank Sinatra.
So far we have witnessed four movies in the Die Hard series, and as mentioned the fifth is scheduled for release sometime in the 2012/13 season. Of course this is yet to be confirmed, and knowing the movie makers, the date is likely to change. We just need to take a look at how they handled the latest Bond movie. So basically considering that after seeing Bruce Willis in Moonlighting, then the transition into action and other film genres, it is sometimes interesting to note how my mindset has adjusted since I have seen the Bruce Willis movies through this period.
Maybe sometime in the future I will get up the courage to go and watch an episode of moonlighting, but it could only be after enduring a Bruce Willis movies marathon. What’s the worst that could happen?
