Day 40: Die Hard 3 & Live Free or Die Hard

Die Hard 3






Whose Movie: Mutual Buy
Rating: Almost as good as the first

Okay, Matt and I were talking about which Die Hard movie was the best.  I said the first one was the best.  Matt said it was a tie between the first and the third.  I can see that.  The third one reincorporated all the things that made the first one successful, and then added a buddy.  Samuel L. Jackson totally kicks ass in this movie, and he adds to the plot.  He is an active "buddy" in the buddy film, and he doesn't slow Bruce Willis down.  This movie also used music the same way the first one did, but instead of Ode To Joy, they used Johnny Comes Marching Home.
Live Free or Die Hard



Whose Movie: Mutual Buy

Rating: Disappointing Buddy in a Buddy Flick

For a buddy movie, the buddy kinda sucked.  I love Justin Long, but after watching Die Hard 3 where the buddy kicked ass, this one was disappointing.  All he did was whine and need saving.  He didn't even kick ass until like the very end.  Other than that, the movie was awesome.  Bruce Willis still can kick ass.

Next Up: Dirty Dancing, Dr. Horrible, and Dogma
