Last night I watched an old favorite of mine, which I was ecstatic to discover had aged like a fine wine, not like an old can of skunked beer. I hadn’t seen it in probably 15 years and had my doubts. Luckily, it held up just fine, and definitely gave the recent “re-visioning” of the franchise a […]

Come Out To The Coast,…We’ll Get Together,…Have A Few Laughs…!
Posted: 23rd December 2011 by Tiberius in Christmas, Film, Film Review, HistoryNot Only is DIE HARD one of the great Action movies, It is a GREAT Christmas movie!
