Die Hard, a review by DJ DoenaJanuary, 2nd Director: John McTiernan Bruce Willis ... Officer John McClane Bonnie Bedelia ... Holly Gennaro McClane Reginald VelJohnson ... Sgt. Al Powell Paul Gleason ... Deputy Police Chief Dwayne T. Robinson William Atherton ... Richard Thornburg Alan Rickman ... Hans Gruber Synopsis: John McClane is a NY police detective who visits his wife for Christmas. She works as an executive in a company in L.A. and they celebrate not only Christmasbut also the new offices: the Nakatomi Tower. But it isn't a party until someone crashes it. In this case Hans Gruber and his gang, a pretending terrorist but actual thief who wants the 650 million Dollars in bearer bonds in the Nakatomi safe. What he didn't expect was "Roy". My Opinion: Still a great piece of action cinema. John was one of the first heroes who actually bleed during their lone gunman action but there aren't many people who can keep up with his cool badass attitude. Of course Alan Rickman was also brilliant as the villain and if you ask me he was the best opponent John ever had. Or as Barney put it in How I Met Your Mother: "Charming international bandit. In the end, he dies hard. He's the title character."

And I enjoyed this one just as much as the first one. It is very entertaining. I like how they put together all the clues and puzzles. I also enjoyed the entire main cast... thought they all did a good job. Now I just need to get part 1 in my collection and I will be all set. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From What Movies I Been Watching on August 20th, 2010) Tom's TV Pilots marathon, a review by Tom
Plot: The man. The myth. The driver. Doug Heffernan (Kevin James) is THE KING OF QUEENS, but his wife Carrie (Leah Remini) really rules the roost. Doug is the ultimate guy's guy, but he loves Carrie so much he's willing to sacrifice his tricked-out rec room (plus his 70-inch TV) so that her father Arthur (Jerry Stiller) can move in, a decision he's regretted ever since. Doug's free time is split between quality time with his wife and play time with his buds. A parade of crazy neighbors and oddball citizens of New York's middle-class borough help make this show the reigning comedy champ. THE KING OF QUEENS proves you don't have to have a huge castle to live like royalty. The King of Queens 1.01 Pilot Writer: Michael J. Weithorn (Writer), David Litt (Writer) Director: Pamela Fryman Cast: Kevin James (Doug), Leah Remini (Carrie), Lisa Rieffel (Sara), Patton Oswalt (Spence), Larry Romano (Richie), Victor Williams (Deacon), Jerry Stiller (Arthur) This series is often fun to watch. The pilot though is nothing special. It sets up the premise, but wasn't really funny. Rating: (From Tom's TV Pilots marathon on June 4th, 2012) |
