Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)

this is arguably as good as the first. they don't make action films like this no more. Little CGI, not filmed on a soundstage, uses the environment (NYC) to it's advantage. Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson are a classic duo. Action movies are better when they take place in one or two locations as opposed to modern action movies that jump from one cool "exotic" locale to another which makes them all blend together. When John drove the cab through the park :mjlol:

9/10. OG Die Hard is 10/10

Mike Larry Vs The Fresh Prince, ass movie. I ain't never seen CGI face rendering so scary since HBO had to do up Livia Soprano to finish a scene after the actress died unexpeectedly before filming wrapped. shyt is painful to watch, the attempt to make a younger Will Smith look like anything other than an uncanny valley having as render. With that being said, whole premise was eh, but Smith and the Chick had chemistry and it wasn't as bad as the other "Best soldier to do it, retires and gets targeted by people who don't care about his solace, so he gotta kill 'em all, type shyt like you'd normally see that racist b*stard Wahlberg or Neelson in.
Movie is about a Will Smith clone chasing down Will Smith because Will Smith is the best at being an assassin but is also human, so they tried to make a human clone that's not human, raised in a different setting from a kid, but he's also human, since he realizes he has none of what the original has. It's a weird fukking movie and off putting in some parts regarding the clone and his pinnochio like plight. Perfect one off movie just to say you watched it, but I doubt it will endear anyone now, much less back then.

6.4/10

So she kidnaps your child, breaks into your home, cops can't find her ....but you leave all the doors in your house unlocked? Dude was a piece of shyt and the wife was too forgiving. That school should've gotten sued for the kidnapping.

I’ll always have love for this movie. A medley of efforts that made it great for me, but I think one of the biggest is Fincher doing such a good job with reining in Sorkin’s quick-fire dialogue. Wish they collaborated more because everything else I’ve seen from Aaron after this has been hard to get through. That smart, yet smug dialogue that I imagine runs through a lot of big ego geniuses’ heads, but doesn’t translate to the public well at all in reality after speaking.

When Sorkin is directing or the main writer on other stuff, I find that he goes off the deep end with that more often than not. It works here though. He wants to make a “quasi-sequel” and while he may end up putting something out, it more than likely won’t come close to touching this. Thought a rewatch would sour me, but nope. The score from Reznor and Ross still kicks a lot of ass and it was cool seeing a young and hungry Andrew Garfield here.

King’s Speech over this at the Oscars is still :mjtf:

Definitely goes in the category of WTF films for me. Mix of fantasy, existentialism, Looney Tunes. Fun reading theories about how people interpret the film.

Connery back as an unapologetically :flabbynsick: James Bond against the new high tech, fitness minded 1980's

I thought this was pretty fun. Delivering a lot of the action present in the games from the X-Ray moves to the fatalities. Liked the voice work for Shao Kahn/Sektor/Cyrax the most.
