Bill Murray

Bill Murray's first starring role and as usual one of his best. Bill is a very funny man and this film shows the extent of it. A must see for Bill Murray fans. I rated it quite low but that was more to do with the fairly predictable story but other than that it was pretty good. I laugh just about all the way through it and I can't stress how funny Bill is. He is defiantly one of my favorite comedy actors.

Loved it. Fantastic. One of my top 10 favorite films of all time but i have to say i still love Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas a lot more. It made me laugh and i like the different styles between them but this one just does not measure up. I also think that Johnny Depp is a much better Hunter S. Thompson than Bill Murray. He managed to capture the essance of Hunter more but that might have had something to do with the fact that he followed him around for weeks making sure he got his character just right and i'm not sure if Bill Murray did that. Johnny's accent is also a lot more like Hunter's than Bill's is. But i still love it.

Very funny 80's comedy. One of my favorite of all of Bill Murray's films. The guy is just amazing. This should be seen by everyone.

I thought it was about time I actually wrote a review for a film that I watched about a thousand times as a kid. As far as i'm aware this was the film that introduced me to the wonder that is Bill Murray. I was only about three or four but I loved him right away. And what isn't there to love. In my opinion he is the star of the film. Giving a classic Murray performance he just steals the limelight in ever scene he's in. The rest of the cast are brilliant as well. Dan Aykroyd giving an excellent performance as well. I know that just about everyone in the world has already seen this masterpiece but for those of you that have not, then you really are missing out.

Absolutly rubbish. I couldn't even manage to watch it right to the end. Steven Martin's cameo was probably the best thing in it and even that was poor. I wouldn't recommend anyone watching this, it would be a complete waste of your time.

A childhood favourite that I watched again recently. It reminded me exactly why I loved Ghostbusters as a kid.
This movie is brilliant. Yes the first one is slightly better. But as sequels go, this one is more than pretty damn good.
I'm pretty sure it was these films that introduced me to Bill Murray. As a kid I couldn't get enough of him and as, well, not quite an adult but near enough, the attraction is still there. He plays the character so perfectly, you forget he's acting, it's just Bill Murray having a laugh. And although all the other performances are excellent and I love each of the character, for me, he shines throughout the film with his sarcastic and witty comments that will leave you begging for more.
Sigourney Weaver wasn't someone I knew of when I was first watching this film, so watching it now, it's a bit weird to see Ripley as a mum and a helpless female. Not really the character she made famous in Alien. Still her performance is excellent, just very different.
And we can't forget Dan Aykroyd. One of the best actors for comedy in his time.
The plot is just as riveting as the first one and just as unforgettable. Although I struggle to point out places where it lacked, I still prefer the first one for some reason. But I still love this one, and if you've not seen it you're clearly a little behind on the times.

Classic comedy film. Possibly Bill Murray's best film so far as well and the competition on that list is pretty close. He really is perfect for the role of Phil Connors and really does play him perfectly. The other characters in the film work really well and the plot is just amazing. You can tell right away that this is going to be an amazing comedy film full of moments that are going to make you fall off of your chair laughing. My favorite scene has to be when he is in the car talking to the groundhog. Funniest scene in the whole film. A must see film no doubt.

Ed Wood may have been the worst director ever but Tim Burton is definatly one of the best and this film proves it. I loved that it was shot in black and white. Not many directors have the guts to do something like that nowadays because they think it would appeal. Johnny Depp's performance as Ed Wood was brilliant and I know I say this often but in this case I seriously believe it, no other could have played him like Depp did. There is already something in Depp's quirky personality that fits with Wood. It's like Depp understood him. Obviously the star of the film would be Martin Landau though. Bela Lugosi was one of the best horror actors ever so Landou certainly had big shoes to fill and I think the Oscar he won proves that he didn't just fill them he burst out of them. A stunningly beautiful film that is definatly a must see.

Completely blown away by this film. I love films that have twists and some do it well and others don't suceed. This surprisingly was amazing with it. About half way through the film they just keep hitting you with more and more information about what is going on. I'll warn you now, if you're reading this review and have not already seen this film don't read any further, just watch it, i'm going to spoil everything about it. You seriously will regret it if you carry on reading. I think that I love this film so much because you can watch it a million times and it never gets old. I've seen it loads of times this week just piecing everything together in my head and i'm not getting fed up in the least. I love that this film does have it's flaws, no it isn't perfect but none of that matters because of the amazing characterisation and plot. The actors all give brilliant performances, the best of course coming from Neve Campbell. Seen a few of her films and I loved her ever since watching her in Scream. Yes ok, so the whole thing looks like a soft core porn film but at the same time the intelligence of it just oozes from every scene. I love that it is so overly complicated that it works so smoothly. You have to watch this film more than once and the second viewing is even more fun as you pick out all the little clues that the director gives you along the way. I really want to write a plot outline because i've heard many people talking nonesence about the ending and the way it all fits together in the end. I fear that this review will turn in to a novel though. A fuck it, i'm writing a long ass review anyway. I'll use actors names to avoid confusion and i'm starting with the event that would have happened first but you don't actually hear about until the end. Kevin Bacon is sleeping with some girl in the swamp where Neve Campbell stays. Campbell's boyfriend Davie steps in when Bacon slaps the girl around a bit so Bacon shoots him dead. Campbell sees the whole thing so Bacon arrests her on a drugs charge and sends her to juvy. Campbell calls Dillon's character the guidence councellor for help but he's too busy sleeping with Theresa Russell's character. Campbell plots to get back at everyone who has ever wronged her. She blackmails Dillon to go along with the plot and befriend Bacon, him believing the plot is to make money by exploiting and eventually killing Campbell and Richards. Campbell knows he'll go for it because it involves killing her which he'll want after what she saw. Campbell then gets Dillon to involve Richards who happens to have a massive crush on him. She believes it is Dillon who planned it. They set up the rape and report it, getting Dillon arrested. Bill Murray's character then comes in as the lawyer for Dillon. At trial, Campbell reveals the rape never happened as planned and Dillon is released. They both then set a deal with Russell for close on $9 million as settlement for the trouble. Campbell then gets Dillon to tell Richards and Bacon that he plans to get rid of her. Richards not knowing that Bacon is in on it in the first place. Campbell fakes her murder with the whole teeth thing and heads out to the Caribbean to wait for Dillon. Dillon gets Bacon to frame Richards for the murder of Campbell but instead he kills her and shoots himself to make it look like defence. He is then fired and heads off to the Caribbean after Dillon. They meet up on Dillon's boat Dillon tries to kill him but doesn't suceed. Campbell is revealed to be alive and shoots him with a spear gun. Campbell then poisons Dillon and knocks him into the sea. Murray then meets Campbell and hands over the money from the settlement minus his cut. Bacon's partner then speaks to Campbell's "grandmother" at the end of the film who reveals that Campbell's mother was a Van Ryan making Campbell, Russell's half-sister and aunt to Richards. Campbell was an illigitimate child so the Van Ryan's dumped her mother in the swamp where she drank herself to death leaving Campbell with the people that looked after her. I warned you if you have not already seen the film not to read this review so if you did you ruined it for yourself. Hope that clears up all the messy comments from people that didn't understand the ending. Wow this review it long. Sorry people. Basicly I love this film.

This film is so utterly rubbish and shity that I can't help but enjoy it. The effects are pretty boring and nothing is anything special. The fights scenes are cut so many times that they look seriously fake. But for some reason it works. The film doesn't take itself too seriously therefore the fact that it looks bad doesn't matter. Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu work really well together and although the performances are not great you can tell that each of them are having fun. Which really shines through. Bill Murray's character is very funny and although you don't get to see a huge amount of Tim Curry, he really is brilliant. The whole film is based on sex appeal and fight scenes. Both are pretty laughable but it's hard not to enjoy it anyway.

Its hard to say exactly what I love about this film but there is definatly something special about it. Bill Murray is one of my favorite actors ever. He's a very funny guy and a brilliant actor. Comedy films are what he does best but I think this film shows there is something more to him. This film made Scarlett Johansson and for a very good reason. She is outstanding. The plot is wonderful. Its set in a beautiful city and I think you really get to see how amazing it is. I'd give my left arm to know what he wispered to her at the end as well. I really loved that touch. That even though the film is over it leaves you guessing about what he said. I could watch this movie a million times and never get fed up with it. Definatly one of my favorite films ever.

As a child I couldn't get enough of the fat cat. I think even now I can't get enough of him. Bill Murray was the best choice of voice for him as well and I thank the guy that came up with the suggestion. However, I was a little disappointed. The plot is weak and stupid. I can't stand Jennidfer Love Hewitt which kind of ruined the movie a little. I didn't put me off Garfield though. I still love him.

Didn't enjoy it and couldn't really get into it. But i'm not giving up. I only managed to watch so much of it so i'll rent it again and re-review it. There is clearly something wrong with me not the film as all the other review have been excellent.
