Introit

Welcome to my realm of reviewing: a place where I review anything I feel like...but it will probably be 99% movie reviews. Depending on how lazy I am at the time, the reviews will range between a sentence or two and the length of a master's thesis. Realistically though, the lengths will be somewhere in the middle.

Every time I see a new movie, I run over to Facebook to make a 1-sentence review of it on Flixter, so I figure this will let me go more in-depth on what I thought of it. I certainly will try to write out a new review every time I see a new movie, so my frequency of new postings will range anywhere from multiple times in one day to one in a week.

I will NEVER have movie spoilers, so don't worry.

By the way, I don't discriminate on movie genres...you will see reviews of ALL kinds of movies ranging from horror exploitation films to Saturday night chick flicks...but don't expect me to look at them from the same angle :D
Expect to see a lot of reviews of obscure movies though, particularly independent horror films.

I also take requests, so if there is a movie anyone wants me to review, feel free to ask.

Well, so far it does feel like I am typing to a brick wall, but at least this gives me something to do for the time being. If anyone is reading this, thanks in advance!!

"Die Hard 2: Die Harder"

Movie Watched Today: Die Hard 2: Die Harder

Genre: Action

Starring: Bruce Willis
William Sadler

Director: Renny Harlin


Bruce Willis does it again...he manages to be in the middle of a gigantic terrorist plot at a very inopportune moment. Instead of a 40-story building, however, this time they seize control of an airport during a busy travel night while there is a huge storm brewing. They threaten to crash all of the planes unless their demands are met.

If you've seen the first Die Hard, there is no need to summarize any further. Action ensues and John McClaine inevitably thwarts the bad guys, and that is NOT a spoiler (don't even act like it is...).

I will admit right now that I SUCK at reviewing action movies. I have a definite pass/fail grading system with them, and I find it very hard to compare them to other movies. I'll just say that "Die Hard 2" gets a passing rating. It's even hard to say whether it is better or worse than the first film of the franchise.

I thought Hans Gruber was a more interesting villain then Colonel Stuart, but thats about where the comparison ends. If you like action movies, you will love this. If you liked "Die Hard," you will love this. If you do not like action movies or "Die Hard," chances are very good that you will not like this.

That is all.
