Hadn't seen this in a while, just had to pop it in, since it's christmas and all.
Liked it very much 7/10

1: Life on the Limit
The cinematography/color palette was much better. Only the very ending was back to Teletubbies territory, atmospherewise.
There was also some genuine excitement and iconic scenes. They were also not drawn out and milked to death like in the first two.
Also-more orks, more ringwraiths, more Christopher lee.
You've clearly never heard of the Teletubbie Taliban then, dear @Thunderfinger?
A guy got killed by the talibananas for calling them teletubbies, so be careful.
Yeah, learning about those comics (and a more recent run) I spent an hour searching for them on the Internet. I went to ebay and beyond but couldn't track 'em down completely. I hope they'll get re-issued some day - though I fear that may be naive optimism on my end. ;-)

but shipping might be expensive.
I totally loved the movie adaption & I got a chance to talk with the artist (George Perez) at a comic convention. When I asked him why LR seemed so much more awesome than his other already awesome work, he told me that he'd had surgery on his hand and that the doctors told him he might never use it perfectly again. LR was his first work after that.
This film actually surprised me, and I thought it was hilarious. I can see where some North Koreans would be real upset with the turn of events in this movie, but there's a certain phrase I have for them for not being able to take a joke. Real funny, and I thought Franco was shining throughout the whole movie.
I just love this movie. I could watch it all day long in fact I did. :P
Oh how I love Tombstone! Kurt Russell was great in it, too; but Val stole the movie. That is my very favorite role of his. Fantastic Doc Holliday. He was mesmerizing in The Doors and wonderful in Heat, but yeah: Tombstone it is #1. (I love him in The Saint, too.)
Totally agreed on Val stealing the show in that movie, his work was phenomenal and he was cold, calculating, and cool throughout.

Jim Carrey IS Sean Connery.
Apocalypse Now
Dances With Wolves
Schinder's List
Yes, it has become a Christmas tradition here as well.
I was just about to post Die Hard. It wouldn't be Christmas without John going up against Hanz.
I watched this last night. Unfortunately I watched it alone. It was very unnerving. Really a great movie, and proof you don't have to go over the top with gore or budget to make a great horror film. If I'm alone at night and hear three sharp knocks I know I'll feel the hair stand up on my neck ;)
I always love stumbling upon little horror gems like this, that needn't go over-the-top with cheap jump scares or tons of gore to try and get the audience worked up. It was simplistic, psychological, tense, and the few jump scares we did get were more than enough to freak me out. I'd say out of every 50 horror films that I've seen lately, only one or two manage to stand out, and this is one of them. I'm a big horror fan, but lately, we're delivered the same garbage that doesn't tell a proper plot, have any likable characters, or manage to scare me in the slightest, unfortunately.
Totally stupid sequel in oh so many ways.
I love the whole period/era. And Cary really is so very wonderful.
Still better than A Good Day To Kill The Franchise...ere I mean Die Hard 5...
I have not seen that one. Here is how I rank the rest:
1.DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE The best by far, and the chemistry between Willis and Jackson is great.
2. DIE HARD The original is a classic
3. DIE HARD 4.0 It has its moments
4. DIE HARD 2-DIE HARDER Why? WHY?did I watch this dribble without pay?
It was one of my favourites as an opinionated little kid. I much preferred it to the other disaster movies of the era, including Earthquake. It's closest competition, for a small impressionable fella growing up, was the Poseiden Adventure.
Anyway, revisiting on Blu ray after all these years, I can definitely say the movie holds up very well. Superb ensemble cast for the ages, with the great McQueen and Newman in top form, along with other greats like William Holden, Fred Astaire, Richard Chamberlain, and a small part for OJ Simpson as well. Susan Blakely looked as beautiful as I remembered her.
The special effects were incredible for its time, and I am pretty sure Die Hard was inspired by this movie as there are several similarities in some of the scenes.
I was particularly impressed by the work in the elevator shaft, which looked very realistic, as well as some scenes on a broken stairwell.
The most chilling bit was at the end, when McQueen's fireman tells Newman's architect: "You know, we were lucky tonight. Body count's less than 200. You know, one of these days, you're gonna kill 10,000 in one of these firetraps, and I'm gonna keep eating smoke and bringing out bodies until somebody asks us... how to build them." I immediately thought of the World Trade Centre Towers, that collapsed 26 years later. The fact that the novels that inspired this movie were themselves inspired by the construction of the World Trade Centre was particularly poignant.
Great 70's disaster flick.
PS: On the Die Hard debate, that last one......nearly killed me. Willis should be ashamed. He is privileged to have one of the greatest franchises of all time available for him to work on at his age, and he screws it up with that disgrace. Shameful.
The last action sequence seems a bit to long, but overall the pace is adequate, and although we basically know what's coming next, still keeps the movie suspensfull.
I know many will chastise this as taken on an airplane but I disagree the film is good the mystery even better and Neeson is great as is the rest of the cast the cgi is bad but I feel this may be Neeson's third best action film and the third best film of the year for me
1. Captain America: Winter Soldier
2. Godzilla
3. Non-stop
