"June 15 "Do you see any Teletubbies in here? Do you see a slender plastic tag clipped to my shirt with my name printed on it? Do you see a little Asian child with a blank expression on his face sitting outside on a mechanical helicopter that shakes when you put quarters in it? No? Well, that's what you see at a toy store. And you must think you're in a toy store, because you're here shopping for an infant named Jeb." I really liked this movie. The story was great, Bruce Willis and Samuel L."

"Unbreakable" (2000)

“FIRST IMPRESSIONS

The plot is basically that David Dunn (Bruce Willis) is the only survivor of a horrific train crash – completely unharmed. Then he's approached by Elijah Prince (Samuel L Jackson), who believes that, because David has never been injured in his life, he's a real-life embodiment of a comic book superhero.

Elijah's theory seems absurd at first, but gradually starts to make sense as the movie progresses. I especially like how, as a security guard, David has an instinct for wrongdoing, which Elijah sees as a human trait that's the basis for super powers.

"Re-watched on television. Weird movie that has an unique take on today's comic book heroes and how they came to be. It's a bit over the top in some areas and some parts of the movie made me roll my eyes. I'm not sure whether that's because of the story or Bruce Willis. It had good potential, but Bruce's mediocre acting left me unsatisfied. "

"Watched: 24.3. Jokseenkin lämmin ja yllättävän rauhallinen trilleri, joka huipentuu loppuun mennessä traagiseen lopputwistiin. Bruce Willis tekee hyvän ja rauhallisen roolin hiljaisena sankariegona ja Samuel L. Jackson taas on vaikuttava traagisen fyysisesti ja ellei psyykkisestikin kärsineenä sarjakuvafanina. "

" This one had Finland's premiere in the middle of December. I had to hurry to see it when I realised that changes in content ratings were going to come to effect in next year. Unbreakable's certificate was 14 but according to new rating it would be 15 and I was only 13 years. I was afraid that cinema's doorman wouldn't let me in next year. Hurrying was worth it because movie was pretty intensive experience. "
