Who needs the Energizer Bunny

John McClane just keeps going and going...

OK, so this movie review is not exactly breaking news as the latest installment of the Die Hard series has been in theatres for weeks now. However, Mr. M and I just saw Live Free or Die Hard tonight and thoroughly enjoyed all 2 hours and 10 minutes of it! An excellent review can be found here, more in depth than I would write. I couldn't help but notice half a dozen places where you would be expecting to hear the F-bomb, even see the actors mouths say the F-bomb, but you don't actually HEAR the F-bomb. I checked my ticket stub, and it was a PG-13 rated flick. For me, that kinda made it seem like I was watching the movie at home on TBS or something. Not that I WANT to hear the F-bomb, it just made the editing REALLY obvious to me and it distracts a little from the escapist mystique of actually seeing a movie on the big screen, in the theatre, which I don't get to do all that often anymore.

And seriously, the man is impossible to stop. Car crashes, falls through windows, down an elevator shaft (in a car), jumping to or from moving vehicles (cars, an F-15, a semi truck), getting shot. He just keeps going. And, d@mn, but it's fun to watch.

Installment four is definitely a worthy addition to the Die Hard series. Go Bruce Willis!
