Death Becomes Her

Actors: Meryl Streep, Bruce Willis, Goldie Hawn, Isabella Rossellini
Rating: 7 out of 10, Fun to watch this again after so many years and to see Bruce Willis hold his own against two academy award winning actresses. He’s so immersed in action roles that I’d forgotten how funny he can be. He’s hilarious as the hapless pawn caught between two immortal females bent of blowing holes in each other. The special effects were groundbreaking at the time and are still eye catching but more commonplace in today’s cinema. Seeing Meryl Streep maneuver with her head completely turned around is worth the price of admission. She handles this exorcist moment with her usual aplomb and style – how is that even possible! Finally I would have bought anything Rossellini was selling if she wore that outfit.

MVP: Willis showing off his comedy chops as Dr Ernest Menville
