Live Free or Die Hard Movie Review Posts

nachoman I think I am one of those rare people that is just simply not a big Bruce Willis fan, albeit I still manage to enjoy his movies.

Seems like a contradiction, to which I fully admit, but this is the tangled web I weave. Now, that being said, I will admit I am a fan of the Die Hard movies (though I resisted watching a single one until about six months ago). With the release of Live Free or Die Hard, I was intrigued - but not enough to spend the bucks to go to the theater. This one was one to look forward to on DVD. For the most part, the movie lived up to the Die Hard series. It had tons of action, likeable characters, lots of good explosions and booms to give the subwoofer a bit of a workout. The story was actually rather engaging with the appropriate dashes of dry humor. It had everything going for it - until the last 30 minutes or so of the movie. Without giving any spoilers for those that haven't seen it, let me just say that the climatic action scene at the end of the movie was totally over the top. It lacked any possible realism, the special effects were surprisingly weak and for this movie goer, it insulted my intellegence. Why movie companies have to try to push the envelope time and time again to "outdo" the last one in ways that are so ridiculous is just beyond me. Had it not been for that last scene, this would have been maybe a 4.5 out of 5 stars movie for me. Unfortunately that last bit cost at least a half a star in my book, so chalk this up as 4 out of 5 (close)

snookumsnort I never liked any of Bruce Willis' previous films so much and fell asleep in the middle of them. I thought this latest Die Hard installment would be a lousy attempt at fame for him but it wasn't. A tip to enjoying the movie, as ridiculous as most of the stunts may seem, keep an open mind and believe for two hours that they can actually happen and that a 40-year old man can actually pull them...

Michele I watched this film on Thanksgiving with my brother, husband and both kids. I loved it! It's totally action packed from beginning to end and allows Bruce Willis to show off his caring "daddy" side at the same time. Yeah, so it was a little "out there" in places. That's one of the parts I liked so much! The extra large explosions, the stunts that would kill someone if they actually...

The Astronaut Farmer From the time he was a child, Charles Farmer had only one goal: to be an astronaut. Earning his degree in aerospace engineering and joining the Air Force as a pilot, Farmer was a natural for NASA's astronaut training program and was well on his way when a family situation forced him to drop out. But Farmer was not a man to let anything stand in the way of a dream.

Earning his degree in aerospace engineering and joining the Air Force as a pilot, Farmer was a natural for NASA's astronaut training program and was well on his way when a family situation forced him to drop out. But Farmer was not a man to let anything stand in the way of a dream. He spent the next decade and every cent he had building his own rocket in a barn on his ranch in Story, Texas, working toward the day when he could triumphantly launch it into space. By himself. Sharing his vision are his wife Audie and their children - daughters Sunshine and Stanley, and 15-year-old Shepard, already a budding engineer and eager to serve as "mission control" on the big day. Even Audie's father Hal, on hand to lend moral support, can see how his son-in-law's unwavering commitment has inspired the family with a common dream. On the eve of the long-anticipated launch, an unexpected problem arises. Farmer's efforts to secure 10,000 pounds of high-grade fuel catches the attention of the FBI - and subsequently the media, who encamp in droves outside his gate. Farmer finds himself depicted on TV screens worldwide as a renegade hero, inspiring an outpouring of popular support, while simultaneously drawing heavy fire from the FBI, CIA, FAA, NASA and the U.S. Military, all of whom see him as a threat and will do anything they can think of to shut him down. But Farmer knows this is his only chance - not only to reach his goal of breaking through the Earth's atmosphere but to instill in his children the courage to pursue their own ideals and never give up, no matter the odds. He will not let himself be grounded again. (close) Synopsis and Movie Reviews

The Sasquatch Gang Movie Review
Written and directed by Tim Skousen, who was assistant director on Napoleon Dynamite, there’s going to be inevitable parallels between the two movies. Both look at the awkwardness of childhood and both are absolutely hilarious. Still, even if you didn’t like Napoleon you might find something to enjoy here.

I Am Legend Movie Review
Will Smith’s portrayal of a man obsessed with finding a way to reverse the effects of the disease is the finest thing about this movie. Smith brings a vulnerability and craziness to Neville whose battle with loneliness and depression is a constant spiral downwards. This is no alien kicking, gung-ho, in your face performance and the change of pace is rewarding to watch.

Speed Racer Movie Review
Directed by the Wachowski brothers, (the Matrix), the film has a truly unique look and feel to it - one that may not work for all viewers, but I found it very cool to watch. The racing scenes are thrilling, and you want to stand up and cheer for Speed in the final race. The fight scenes are fun to watch, but you really need to suspend your disbelief before walking into the theater.

Juno movie review
Oh no, not another teenage pregnancy movie! Yeah, that’s what I thought when I first heard about Juno too. I gave it a chance anyhow: one, because I’m a sucker for teenage pregnancy movies (what can I say – I can get sucked into those Lifetime movies too, I’m not made of stone!) and two, because I wanted to see more of Ellen Page.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall Movie Review
Segel takes on multiple duties in this movie. Not only does he star, but also wrote the script, some of which was taken from real life experiences. Now I don’t know if these experiences were as funny when they happened to Segel, but he had me laughing until I cried at some of the things that happened to his poor character. He makes the audience really feel for Peter’s character and everyone will be rooting for him by the end of the movie.
