You're gonna love this, baby
Advantages: A great storyline, fantastic acting and a plethora of special features
Disadvantages: Some may find it a bit too violent
...Marley Shelton based on the Sin City short story, The Customer is Always Right. The soft wind instruments and dark setting establish the tone for the rest of the film. The audience hears beautiful dialogue brought to a close by a gunshot. This close relationship between beauty and death reflects the world in which the film takes place, a world where violence and socially unacceptable behaviour is the norm. .
Sin City, with its film noir style is ...
...years. This may be because Sin City is unlike most well known comics. The main protagonists do not take on the role of traditional heroes, it can be argued that no character is particularly good but this does not stop them from being liked by the audience. One could argue that they fit Aristotle's criteria of a 'tragic hero', people not necessarily good, nor necessarily bad. Sin City is truer to its original medium the most adaptations to the point ...

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 ...

Im a big fan of die hard, and the quadrilogy is amazing!
Advantages: Action packed from beginning to end, brilliant price.
Disadvantages: maybe a little far-fetched for some viewers
...boxset contains all 4 up-to-date Die Hard movies. And if you havent seen them all they are brilliant, and the new Die Hard 4.0 is just that extra step better. It has included several other brilliant actors apart from Bruce Willis himself. And we all know that for Die Hard to be good it has to be full of far-fetched moves and actions and this one is the same as the others X10. It is brilliant having all the Die Hard DVD's in this one collection of ...
...movies really are. Die Hard is full of action, violence and sly dogs who turn on their own people, and thats what makes me love them, they are all full of twisted storylines that will grasp every member in the audience. I assure it. This is along many other DVD boxsets in my collection and it is definately one of the best. And i would recommend many other films with bruce willis, he is a brilliant actor. The casing of the dvd cover itself is amazing ...

Brucey's Back!
Advantages: Relentless action throughout
Disadvantages: Weak storyline, not used to it's full potential
...McClane…
12 years since Die Hard With A Vengeance was released it was looking less and less likely that we’d ever see John McClane in his dirty vest again, but alas as 2007 came we were greeted with the news that John McClane was set to grace our screens once more as the smart talking, grumpy cop who always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I was highly sceptical about whether Die Hard 4.0, otherwise known as Live Free Or Die Hard ...
...excellent reputation that the previous Die Hard trilogy had carved out over the years. When revamps such as Terminator 3 failed to make much of an impact on audiences it was becoming a very real prospect that Die Hard 4.0 would follow suit and be met with very negative reviews. However in true McClane style, Die Hard 4.0 emerged fighting and although it didn’t achieve the success and glittering reviews that the previous films did, I have to say that ...
