Bruce's Best Bits
- 23 Sep 2009
Moonlighting (1985-1989) In the mid 1980s Walter Willis landed a lead role on prime time television, ditched his first name and became household heartthrob Bruce Willis. The prolonged on-screen sexual tension Bruce shared with his co-star Cybill Shepherd lasted for five steamy years, much to the delight of fans everywhere. However, in 1989 the show took a nose dive after its writers succumbed to fans’ wishes and made the on-screen duo official. In the closing episode of Moonlighting,... Read more
Exorcist prequel comes in first
- 23 Aug 2004
Exorcist: The Beginning, the chilling prequel to what many consider to be the most unnerving movie of all time, The Exorcist, has performed best in the cinema figures this week despite a unanimous mauling at the hands of critics. The film has leapt to the top of the US and Canadian film charts, but in a slow week took just $18.2 million in its opening weekend. The prequel knocked last week's monster melee Alien vs Predator of the top spot and into fourth in the charts, with comedy Without a... Read more

So what does she do but go digging in the woods nearby… Then she wakes up. Spooky dream sequences aside, The Unborn is a disappointing effort from David S. Goyer, Christopher Nolan’s writing partner on the last two Batman films, and the... Read more

The Reaping
- 16 Apr 2007
For a country so self-righteously Christian as the United States, it's curious that the only American movies that regularly touch on God and religion are horror films. The Reaping is fairly typical. Hilary Swank is Katherine Winter, who lectures on the subject of Faith vs Science to rapt students, eager to hear how she travels around the world debunking modern miracles. Her scorecard currently stands at 48 for scientific explanation, 0 to the Almighty. Then she meets Doug (David Morrissey), a... Read more
