Die Hard, Die Hard With a Vengeance director John McTiernan headed to federal prison

I watched Live Free or Die Hard in theaters twice as a PG-13 film, liked it just fine both times, then got the unrated DVD when it came back and have never watched the theatrical cut since. As John says, McCain speaks the way he speaks, and when he gets shot or punched or stabbed he bleeds like...

The callback to the first film with Beethoven's 9th over the montage made me happy. Other than that, it's hard to judge.

I enjoy DH2, just not as much as the other three. Weak villain, plot that's a little too coincidental (Man is trapped in the same situation doing roughly the same things twice in a row!), bringing back characters who had no reason to be there. In other words, a classic sequel. DHWAV got around...

What surprised me is how much of the action was done practically. Today, if something looks spectacular, we just assume it was CG. Only the fighter jet scene in LFODH was primarily CG. The whole tunnel scene -- including the firing of the car at the helecopter -- was done practically with live...

To be fair, most of what we learn about John in the sequels signals that he's a most unpleasant person to be around when he isn't saving the world. He's definitely a mouthy pain in the ass.

If they do a fifth one, it should be in Europe at Mac Guy and Lucy's wedding. That way you can expand the scope -- the whole world! -- while also scaling back to a more intimate setting -- the resort where the wedding's taking place. It also creates an excuse to bring back Bonnie Bedelia as...

All of those are stylistic choices and none of them are anamorphic dependent. The first film in particular used older, obsolete lenses to give it that look.

I picked up the Blu-Ray of Die Hard 2 for $10 at Walmart yesterday and gave it a spin tonight, which confirmed its status as the worst of the four -- despite being very entertaining in its own right. The one thing it has on DHWAV and LFODH is Bonnie Bedelia as Holly. She was great in a pretty...

That's actually a really good idea. While it's hard to picture John McClane in Europe, that's part of what would make it interesting. The first two movies had a great fish out of water feel about them, something that was lost when things moved into McClane's own territory. And an excuse to put...

One thing about the Die Hard franchise is that the scale of each is grander than the last. Die Hard: entire movie takes place in one building Die Hard 2: Die Harder: entire movie takes place in an airport complex Die Hard with a Vengance: entire movie take place in a single city Live...
