Films & Documentaries That I Have Watched
This is a list of films & documentaries that I have watched. I will always give a rating, and occasionally write a review. I have put films that have sequels/prequels at the beginning of the list, in the order they are meant to be watched (rather than their chronological release date), followed by individual titles afterwards.
Please Note:
*The 'Marvel Cinematic Universe' films are ordered chronologically as per their release date because having watched the majority of the films, I have deemed them to make more sense this way, rather than by individual title (E.g. Iron Man, Iron Man 2 etc.).
**Similar to the above point, the 'DC Extended Universe' will have the same rule applied.

- DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsBruce WillisAlan RickmanBonnie BedeliaA New York City police officer tries to save his estranged wife and several others taken hostage by terrorists during a Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles.John McClane, of the NYPD, has flown out to LA to see his wife Holly Genero and his kids for Christmas. He is picked up at the airport by Argyle, a limousine driver sent by Holly's boss.
After the initial meet up, Holly and John have an argument which results in Holly storming out and leaving John by himself. This is when 12 terrorists, led by Hans Gruber, take over the Nakatomi building and John is forced to escape to elsewhere in the building.
The film is constant action, filmed incredibly with John constantly having to outwit and outgun his opponents, with the aid of the LAPD which actually, in truth, get completely annihilated by the terrorists. There are many catchy quotes, such as "yippee-ki-yay *beep* and many comedic lines which is exactly what a great film needs!
The way the terrorists conduct themselves is incredibly intellectual, leaving multiple false trails for police to follow in order to hide their true intentions, which will not be revealed here!
Bruce Willis portrays John McClane incredibly, and I have seen this film about 20 times and will never say no to watching it again. 10/10! - DirectorRenny HarlinStarsBruce WillisWilliam AthertonBonnie BedeliaJohn McClane attempts to avert disaster as rogue military operatives seize control of Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C.John McClane has returned and this man is definitely complete strangers with Lady Luck!
The film starts with McClane going to meet his wife, Holly, at the airport. Its the Christmas period and the airport is busy. Having seen something suspicious, McClane follows two men into the baggage carousel however a shootout ensues which leaves one of the men dead. Once it is discovered that this man is a former marine who faked his own death, alarm bells ring and trouble ensues!
Whilst Holly is on the plane terrorist hijack the command tower of Dulles Airport and threaten to kill all unsuspecting passengers currently in the air if the command tower does not divert a plane carrying a captured druglord into Dulles Airport, and allow the terrorists to escape with their companion!
The film is very clever, Bruce Willis is once again incredible in the role of John McClane and actually the only complaint in this film is that there was not enough action, although when McClane stabs a terrorist in the eye with an icicle that moment was brutal yet epic at the same time! One or two twists as well which always help keep you entertained!
Hard to follow up the original, but definite must watch and not a bad film at all, just caught in the shadow of the prequel. - DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsBruce WillisJeremy IronsSamuel L. JacksonJohn McClane and a Harlem store owner are targeted by German terrorist Simon in New York City, where he plans to rob the Federal Reserve Building.
- DirectorLen WisemanStarsBruce WillisJustin LongTimothy OlyphantJohn McClane and a young hacker join forces to take down master cyber-terrorist Thomas Gabriel in Washington D.C.
- DirectorJohn MooreStarsBruce WillisJai CourtneySebastian KochJohn McClane travels to Russia to help out his seemingly wayward son, Jack, only to discover that Jack is a CIA operative working undercover, causing the father and son to team up against underworld forces.
- DirectorKeenen Ivory WayansStarsAnna FarisJon AbrahamsMarlon WayansA year after disposing of the body of a man they accidentally killed, a group of dumb teenagers are stalked by a bumbling serial killer.Scary Movie is absolutely hilarious, and one of a kind when it comes to spoof movies!
This film really set the trend for spoof movies, and, OK, whilst its sequels may leave a lot to be desired for by a lot of film lovers, this installment was hilarious!
Spoofing movies such as Scream and Halloween, the actors played each of their parts in a greatly light-hearted way, and the comedy was second-to-none. There are multiple funny scenes, with my favourite being the fight between Anna Faris and the masked killer towards the end, when they mock the Matrix.
Extra credit to Anna Faris for her part in this film, she was superb! - DirectorKeenen Ivory WayansStarsAnna FarisMarlon WayansAntony AckerFour teens are tricked by a professor into visiting a haunted house for a school project.Scary Movie 2 continues in the vain of its prequel, with hilarious spoofs of infamous movies!
This time, the main film that is having the mickey taken out of it is The Exorcist, with references to other horror movies such as Chucky!
The film once again revolves around the majority of the main cast from the Scary Movie 1, but this time they have been falsely led to a haunted house by their university professors!
From the beginning, this film is hilarious, with the opening scenes involving the priests' exchange with the possessed child being absolutely hilarious!
The film maintains its humor throughout, with Anna Faris & Marlon Wayans deserving extra credit for their part.
At times, the jokes can be a bit too silly, nonetheless, its not one to watch with expectations of a gripping plot, and much more funny if one is familiar with the films that are being imitated.
Overall, still a good laugh! - DirectorDavid ZuckerStarsAnna FarisCharlie SheenRegina HallCindy must investigate mysterious crop circles and video tapes, and help the President in preventing an alien invasion.
- DirectorDavid ZuckerStarsAnna FarisRegina HallCraig BierkoCindy finds out the house she lives in is haunted by a little boy and goes on a quest to find out who killed him and why. Also, Alien "Tr-iPods" are invading the world and she has to uncover the secret in order to stop them.
- DirectorMalcolm D. LeeDavid ZuckerStarsSimon RexAshley TisdaleCharlie SheenA couple begin to experience some unusual activity after bringing their lost nieces and nephew home. With the help of home-surveillance cameras, they learn they're being stalked by a nefarious demon.
- DirectorStephen NorringtonStarsWesley SnipesStephen DorffKris KristoffersonA half-vampire, half-mortal man becomes a protector of the mortal race, while slaying evil vampires.This film is absolutely incredible! Wesley Snipes is at his best!
The film is about Blade, whose mother was attacked by a vampire whilst she was still pregnant with him, which made her water break and she gave birth to Blade, but died in the process. A half vampire half human, he has all of the vampires' strengths and none of their weaknesses, bar one...the thirst to feed on blood! Having been found by Whistler, they decide to team up to take on the vampires.
From the go, this movie is action packed with Blade entering a vampire nightclub to kick some ass! The film then continues to show how the vampires lived in secrecy but Deacon Frost wishes to take control of the world using 'La Magra', the blood god!
The music from this movie is great, its filmed very well and the story flows completely. Every fight scene is incredible and well-choreographed, and by the end of the film you'll want to grab your version of Whistler and go find some vampires (if only they existed!) - DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsWesley SnipesKris KristoffersonRon PerlmanBlade forms an uneasy alliance with the vampire council in order to combat the Reapers, who are feeding on vampires.Whoever said that the original of a series is always the best, clearly had not seen Blade II!
Snipes is back, and oh my gosh is he incredible! I don't think the director could have casted an actor more suited for the role!
Blade II involves Blade fighting against the vampires again, however, he soon realises that the old adage "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is true when a new monster stalks the streets, known as Reapers. These creatures feed on vampires, and then humans, so Blade is forced to align with the vampires in order to fight against the Reapers.
From the start of the film, the adrenaline is pumping with Blade fighting multiple vampires, and coming to the rescue of an old friend whom is still alive!
Once again, the movie is excellently filmed with the different angles to capture the fight scenes and the music is amazing. Every fight scene is once again filmed perfectly, and this film contains one of my favourite ever action-movie fight scenes when Blade and the vampire council fight against the Reapers in a underground nightclub called 'The House of Pain', the name itself is epic!
Amazing. Only criticism I had of this film is that it ended. - DirectorDavid S. GoyerStarsWesley SnipesKris KristoffersonParker PoseyBlade, now a wanted man by the FBI, must join forces with the Nightstalkers to face his most challenging enemy yet: Dracula.
- DirectorMartin BrestStarsEddie MurphyJudge ReinholdJohn AshtonA freewheeling Detroit cop pursuing a murder investigation finds himself dealing with the very different culture of Beverly Hills.One of the best action comedies I have ever watched!
The film is about a Detroit police officer Axel Foley, whom is visited by an old friend, Mikey Tandino, from when they were juveniles. The happy reunion, however, is short lived when hitmen come and whack Foley's friend, which leads to Foley going to Beverly Hills, where his friend last worked.
Along the way, he reunites with Jenny Summers, a girl who used to know both Foley and Tandino, but whilst investigating gets thrown out of a window and arrested. This is where he meets Detective Rosewood, Sergeant Taggart and Lieutenant Bogomil. Following a rocky start, they begin to form a partnership that allows Foley to finally find out why Tandino was killed!
The film is brilliantly filmed, with an abundance of punchlines and comedy to go with blistering action sequences. Has a very feel-good sense to it, and one of my favourite movie scenes of all time when Foley tricks Rosewood and Taggart into following him into a striptease joint by saying something along the lines of he knows a "nice, quiet place out of town...very conservative"!
Need some action? Need a laugh? Need to just feel good about life? Watch this film!! - DirectorTony ScottStarsEddie MurphyJudge ReinholdJürgen ProchnowAxel Foley returns to Beverly Hills to help Taggart and Rosewood investigate Chief Bogomil's near-fatal shooting and the series of "alphabet crimes" associated with it.
- DirectorJohn LandisStarsEddie MurphyJon TenneyJoey TravoltaAxel Foley, while investigating a car theft ring, comes across something much bigger than that: the same men who killed his boss are running a counterfeit money ring out of a theme park in Los Angeles.
- DirectorWes CravenStarsNeve CampbellCourteney CoxDavid ArquetteA year after the murder of her mother, a teenage girl is terrorized by a masked killer who targets her and her friends by using scary movies as part of a deadly game.
- DirectorWes CravenStarsNeve CampbellCourteney CoxDavid ArquetteTwo years after the first series of murders, as Sidney acclimates to college life, someone donning the Ghostface costume begins a new string of killings.
- DirectorWes CravenStarsDavid ArquetteNeve CampbellCourteney CoxWhile Sidney and her friends visit the Hollywood set of Stab 3, the third film based on the Woodsboro murders, another Ghostface killer rises to terrorize them.
- DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerCarl WeathersKevin Peter HallA team of commandos on a mission in a Central American jungle find themselves hunted by an extraterrestrial warrior.Predator is one of the best Schwarzenegger films out there!
Schwarzenegger plays the character of Dutch, whom is in charge of an elite special forces commando squad consisting of Mac, Blain, Billy, Poncho and Hawkins. Following a visit from former member Dillon, they are asked to embark on a mission to a remote South American jungle to rescue POWs captured by rebels.
The actual raid on the rebel encampment is filmed amazingly, with the commandos intellect and strength displayed excellently by the actors, and leads one to only imagine how much the military has progressed since the late '80s! There is a twist, however, as Poncho is assassinated in mysterious circumstances it becomes clear that there is something else present in this jungle, something much more clever and stronger than the commandos!
Brilliant acting, Arnie at his best, and definitely great action scenes throughout the movie! - DirectorStephen HopkinsStarsDanny GloverGary BuseyKevin Peter HallThe Predator returns to Earth, this time to stake a claim on the war-torn streets of a dystopian Los Angeles.

A must see for any action movie lovers!
The film is about a robot sent back through time to kill the mother of John Connor, whom will eventually lead the resistance against the machines in the war following judgement day. The human resistance also sent back a soldier, however, in Kyle Reese, to fight the machine and help protect Sarah, John's mother. Kyle and Sarah must find a way to stop the unstoppable, and this robot will kill everyone and everything in order to complete his machine!
The film just basically depicts their fight against the Terminator, which is portrayed amazingly by Arnie and actually I do not believe any actor in the world could have portrayed the cold hearted machine better! There are some truly amazing action scenes here, such as the police station, and the brutality of the Terminator is shown from the start when he destroys a group of punks. - DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonEdward FurlongA cyborg, identical to the one who failed to kill Sarah Connor, must now protect her ten year old son John from an even more advanced and powerful cyborg.

Having not seen pitch black for a long time before watching this movie, I felt I would not enjoy watching this film however Vin Diesel portrays the part of Riddick incredibly! He claimed in an interview that he had to spend 5 months in the forest to truly understand Riddick's emotions and to play the part, well, your sacrifice has payed off!
Necromongers threaten the existence of the universe, so, rather begrudgingly, Riddick allies with the human race to fight against them, but on the way he meets some old friends and get put in prison. The film is constant action throughout, however, there is a storyline as well which is an incredible blend of excitement!
Riddick comes across as a real independent, powerful, muscular yet dangerously quiet man, and his fighting technique is superb!
Great, great film! - DirectorDavid TwohyStarsVin DieselKarl UrbanKatee SackhoffLeft for dead on a sun-scorched planet, Riddick finds himself up against an alien race of predators. Activating an emergency beacon alerts two ships: one carrying a new breed of mercenary, the other captained by a man from Riddick's past.

- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossWhen a beautiful stranger leads computer hacker Neo to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence.This is one of those films, that has so much meaning in it, its unreal! However, the action scenes are incredible, and the concept is original.
It starts with Neo (Reeves) living a dual life, one as a computer hacker, one as a standard 9-5 office worker in a technology conglomerate. After a strange dream, Neo awakens & never quite feels normal, always questioning the blandness of his life.
Once he is hacked, he is told to 'follow the rabbit down the hole', which is the proceeded by a knock on the door. Once he answers the door, he realizes it is just his friends asking him to join them on a night out. Whilst he initially declines, Neo then spots a tattoo in the shape of a white rabbit, and decides to listen to the earlier message so he joins them on a night out.
The film contains everything, from great acting, good dialogue and my favorite is an original story line. The idea that we, as humans, are happy to continue working 9 to 5, whilst questioning our purpose on this planet. Coupled with our increased dependency on machines in the modern age means that the idea that machines will eventually supersede us is not a fairy tale concept.
The action is great, with some of the characters now becoming infamous, most noticeably Fishburne's character Morpheus, seen as a sensei-type, but one with an incredibly high intellect, that teaches to ask the right question then look for the right answer.
On the downside, this film contained too many action film moments where it was clearly possible to escape a fate, suspect a Judas-type moment, or to act faster and therefore make life so much easier on themselves!
Really great movie, which for me beckons the ultimate question: Would you take the red pill, or the blue one? - DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossFreedom fighters Neo, Trinity and Morpheus continue to lead the revolt against the Machine Army, unleashing their arsenal of extraordinary skills and weaponry against the systematic forces of repression and exploitation.

- DirectorGuy RitchieStarsRobert Downey Jr.Jude LawRachel McAdamsDetective Sherlock Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson engage in a battle of wits and brawn with a nemesis whose plot is a threat to all of England.Holmes & Dr. Watson are back, this time in a modern movie remake of the popular sleuth novels.
I'm not going to lie, when I first heard about this film being released in cinemas I was worried, as there have been many attempts to create a good film from successful novels, but have failed to accurately capture the level of depth and detail in the books.
When I watched this film, however, I was blown away and did not regret my decision at all. Holmes and Watson, portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, are played superbly. The acting is second-to-none, but the story line is incredibly gripping. The action scenes are outstandingly filmed, with Holmes and Watson shown to have the combative element not mentioned in the novels, however, when it came to the movie this added to it very nicely.
To top it all off, the story line is very captivating, and my favourite personal touch is actually how Holmes figures everything out and all is explained throughout the movie in due course.
