Some cool fights
Overall not a great film, pretty weak story, bit simple. Only has a short amount of Bruce Lee footage that was filmed before his death in '73. Most of this is in the final 20 minutes as he takes on various martial arts experts one on one to get to the syndicate boss. This part is clearly what inspired @Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003) with Uma Thurman wearing a similar outfit to pay homage to Lee.

It wasn't me! it was the one-armed man!!
1993 thriller, based on a 1960 TV series of the same name, in which an on-form Harrison Ford plays the part of Dr Richard Kimble, on the run after being framed for the murder of his wife and sentenced to death, relentlessly pursued by Tommy Lee Jones US Marshal detective Samuel Gerard.

Full of great lines and scenes, with both actors at the top of their game, and riveting throughout.

Happy Death Day has been on my mom’s and my watchlist for a while and last night we finally had the chance to watch it, courtesy of my boyfriend. We expected to be amused, and honestly? We were. Though I can’t get the term “fine vagine” out of my head now. Once again, another lame way to say vagina – but that’s a twitter conversation of another day.

This movie isn’t meant to have any real depth to it, but surprisingly enough it does give you the chance to get to know the characters… over and over again. The thing about those characters though? Most of them are petty and stereotypical. Then again, it’s frat boys and sorority girls that make up the majority of the cast.

If you’ve seen the trailer for Happy Death Day, then you already know the plot. It’s hard to go spoil a movie when its main plot device is in ever advertisement that aired for it. Tree, the main character, gets to relive her birthday every day, only to meet a gruesome (oh wait, you don’t actually see the details because PG-13) death at the hands of someone who wants her dead. The goal? For her to figure out who so that she can survive the night.

While the movie its self leans heavily on the silly side of things, it’s not a bore to watch. There are a few scenes that coaxed laughter from my mom and me (and the latter isn’t an easy feat). It’s mostly just a fun film meant to entertain more so than scare.
