Die Hard 4.0 - THE BLU RAY EXPERIENCE - MUST SEE

Advantages: Fast paced action with great cast and special effects.
Disadvantages: Timothy Olyphant is not the typical bad guy like previous Die Hards.

...the 4th part of the Die Hard series, and he has come back in style. He still epitomises all that made the first three films great, and infact goes further to make his character even more appealing. Die Hard has gone into the future, with Blue Ray that is. I had been waiting for years after Die Hard with Avengance to see Bruce Willis take up the role of John McClane in Live Free or die hard (DH4) and to see it in Blu Ray made it extra special. The ...
...experience was made specifically for Die Hard in my belief. The plot of this Die Hard is quite different to the former installments. The film begins showing computer hackers providing sensitive material and information to an operative of a terrorist group. The hackers are tricked into giving the information and little do they know will be killed one by one. That is until after a breach of the FBI's headquarters they send John McClane to pick up ...

Explosions, Explosions and more Explosions!!!

Advantages: 3 films for the price of 1
Disadvantages: No extras

...seperately, so here goes: Broken Arrow The Story is so simple and typical of an american writer, 2 Air Force pilots are pitted against each other in a race to recover two stolen nuclear warheads.It makes you wonder what realy happens over in america, they seem to lose more nuclear weapons than i care to imagine!!! What transpires is a Fast Paced action adventure that makes you wonder what incredibel feat will the main stars (Travolta, Slater) do ...
...myself during watching!(Namely after the scene on top of the train, i added "It's been a while since anyone has shot between her legs") Worth watching as it has good entertainment value. I still thoroughly enjoyed this film, yet it was not a remarkable performance by any of the cast nor director! Director:- John Woo Cast include's:- John Travolta, Christian Slater, Delroy Lindo Run Time:- 104mins approx The Siege This was the main film that ...

"Welcome to the party pal"

Advantages: All three films individually are great, the films as a whole are also great
Disadvantages: Lack of extra features

...box set includes all three Die Hard movies, where Bruce Willis shines as the beat down cop John McClane. Die Hard sees McClane at the Christmas party of his estranged wife, trying to save the parygoers from terrorists who have taken over the building. Die Hard 2 sees McClane attempt to defeat terrorists who have taken over the landing system at an airport whilst his wifes plane circles above. John has to stop the terrorists and allow planes to land ...
...great in their own way: Die Hard one is classic action, film two is darker, and film three funnier. They are DEFINATELY worth buying on DVD. I own the three disc box set, and Die Hard one individually and I have to say there really aren't many advantages to buying the three disc box set compared to buying the three films seperatly. You get features like 'The Making of Featurettes' if you buy the individual films and you get no special features at ...

Bruce Willis Has Another Christmas Go With A Bang

Advantages: AMAZING film!! :-D Even better than the first!
Disadvantages: Some things in the film are "exaggerated..."!!

DIE HARD 2 FILM ONLY REVIEW Well this film was on TV last night so I thought I'd write up a review on it while it was fresh in my head!! After Die Hard became a huge hit, it wasn't surprising that a sequel was made in 1990. Die Hard 2: Die Harder was just as entertaining as the first movie. Die Hard 2: Die Harder followed the pattern of the first film in having everything take place over the course of a few hours on Christmas Eve. ...
...If you watched the first Die Hard and loved it, then you'll love this one even more, its an amazing film!! again its got the undertones of humour! :-) And well who can complain about any film with Bruce Willis to perv at!!! :-p Main Cast John Amos - Major Grant William Atherton - Richard Thornburg Bonnie Bedelia - Holly McClane Dennis Franz - Captain Carmine Lorenzo Robert Patrick - O’Reilly Fred Dalton Thompson - Trudeau Reginald VelJohnson ...

They really do Die hard.

Advantages: Accurate portrayal of fighting in Africa, Bruce Willis actually acts.
Disadvantages: None

I desperately wanted to see this movie for two reasons, the first is that in the early 1980's I was in the Army and part of an Elite Special Ops unit attached to a similar South African one and we fought an " unofficial " war in a country in Africa very close to Nigeria, helping the local people to overthrow a sick and twisted, self proclaimed Warlord, so I wanted to see just how accurately it portrayed war, African style. The second reason was that ...
...than perform. Yes there is a difference and it was highly refreshing to see Bruce shake off his " Die Hard " persona and get to grips with a very unusual and complex character who still goes against the grain but does it in a way that is actually for real and therefore, totally credible. It has been interesting to watch Bruce's career, he, like many leading men, are fashionable actors, i.e. they are the fashion of the moment but then when the next ...
