On Facebook and twitter I am taking suggestions for movies to watch and review.
This being my first post I think I should get to choose which movie I watch.
So I chose "Die Hard"
Right out the bat this movie doesnt let you know what its about. For most movies thats a bad thing but this movie allows the audience to see a lighter side of the film before blowing your mind! This 1988 action film redefined what it meant to be an action movie. This is the first film (to my knowledge) that is set in Christmas and was not about chirstmas, presents, or children.
While there are alot of one liners ( yippie ki-yay mother F¥Ck€R, "I guess this is what a tv dinner feels like) that keep it light hearted yet intense. Heck! Die Hard was so good thay it created four....more...movies! 2 of which are good! Also it was so beloved that it is considered the best christmas movie of all time. It has been parodied a number of times, most notable it "the Cleveland shows" epsiode "die semi hard" which takes the movie down to an acturate and comical adaptation of Die hard.
A quick summery: John McClane a new york cop travels to california where his wife/ex wife works. While at a chirstmas party Hans Gruber (most notable villian of all time) brings his gang of 12 terrorist to rob the takagi company of 600+million. Unaware that Mcclane is a cop or in the building he finds his plans be ruined and evenually has to confront McClame himself.
Final Verdict: While not best Bruce Willis movie, this movie labeled him a action hero and has created ome of the most iconic movie franchises. I give it a 9/10. A good film that only faults in ending( no spoilers) and NEED for sqeuals. I highly recommend it. It is a good movie to watch when ypur have that mid summer christmas blues.
You should do SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS. I think that'd be a good movie to try out too.
