    Live Free Or Die Hard

    Well, lots of action but for some reason I just didn't like it as much as the other three, though it did have its good moments. I think it's time to end the franchise, though.

    True, it kind of reminds me of the Rush Hour sequels. They found a winning formula and stuck with it. That doesn't mean that it doesn't get a little old though. You pretty much know what's going to happen before it happens. All in all, I thought it was still a pretty cool movie. I didn't regret renting it at all, but I wouldn't buy it.

      I agree with you George, its action all of the time, but has to reach too much for a plot that doesn' t make much sense to get there. It is good for demonstrations of audio though with some great sounding scenes.

        I watched it tonight and I agree, it was pretty cool movie for a "brainless" type of flick. Definitely a good workout for the speakers

          I liked this movie more than I thought I would...
          I rented it mainly because it was one of the few things on Blue-ray,and my son wanted to see it.

          The key is to go in expecting nothing,and when it delivers a little,it will feel like a lot.How's that for pretzel logic?

          But,it did give the system a nice workout,and the Blue-ray looked good.

              I liked it more than I thought I would but the movie seems "restrained" due to the pg-13 rating I'm afraid. There is always a fast cut when some real violent happens.

              Better than the 2nd movie IMO. Probably not if you asked me back then but when I watch the 2nd one now it seems lame to me.

                I placed an order for the box set on Amazon.ca for under 50$ (said it was temporarily out of stock but would ship when re-stocked--I've had good luck with that, with only about 20% of orders not shipping at the sale price and they've let me cancel with no issues). I've seen all of them at the cinema and consider them guilty pleasures (the first one rates a bit more). I was amused by the most recent one but I hope they leave it at that.

                  Really? For quite some time, Die Hard 2 was my favorite movie. I thought the twists in there were very well done. Since then, there's been quite a few movies that have taken over that spot for me, though.

                    Hostage is not Die Hard
                    by George Bellefontaine
                    There was a post on this a few months back in AT THE MOVIES, but since it is now out on dvd I will post my comments on it here.

                    At the beginning of this film, Willis is a hostage negotiator. Things go terribly wrong and Willis is devastated. A year later he is a police chief in a small...

                    Today You Die
                    by George Bellefontaine
                    This is teven Seagal's latest flick on dvd . It's pretty dumb so I won't bore you with storyline and what not. I was just curious to see if Seagal had lost any weight for this film. He hasn't. In fact, he wears so much clothing to hide his pork belly that he stupidly makes himself look even fatter....

                    1055 delay on die another day
                    by sikoniko
                    I am noticing a lip synching problem on die another day dvd in dtses mode.

                    I was wondering what I can do to correct this? I dont understand delay enough to know If I need to change it from 1ms that it is set to by default to anything else.

                    Its strange because I have not...
