Fox Bringing A Good Day To Die Hard To Blu-Ray In June
7 April 2013 12:53 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Fox has announced John Moore’s A Good Day to Die Hard for Blu-Ray in June. The film stars Bruce Willis and Jai Courtney.
There are horrible movies like Live Free or Die Hard and then there are downright awful movies like John Moore’s A Good Day to Die Hard. The R-rated Die Hard sequel looked sort of promising after the PG-13 shit that Len Wiseman dropped on us. I mean, even the trailers were focusing more on the over-the-top action and corny one-liners than say a coherent story or plot line and that’s fine, because the Die Hard series has pretty much lost all of its credibility since the fourth film was released.
I was fully willing to accept Bruce Willis’ John McClane as the next Superman, despite the character originally being the complete opposite, but I got lost somewhere between a confusing scene in Chernobyl (right? »

A Good Day to Die Hard follows other franchises in having that pass-the-torch installment, where the aging star fights the bad guys with his son.
Bruce Willis (Looper) is back as bad-ass NYPD cop John McClane, and when his estranged son Jack gets into trouble in Russia, it’s John to the rescue. Jack (Jai Courtney, Jack Reacher), a CIA operative, has been imprisoned in Moscow, and after father and son reunite, they must thwart a nuclear weapons heist that could trigger World War III.
The movie was panned by critics, with Richard Roeper summing it up succintly with, “What a disappointment.” One of the few positive reviews still wasn’t all that praising. Dallas Morning News critic Chris Vognar said, “It’s all more than a little silly, but »

North American Home Release For ‘A Good Day To Die Hard’ Reveals Tons Of Bonus Material
26 March 2013 2:36 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Everyone knows our opinion of the fifth film in the Die Hard franchise, A Good Day To Die Hard. It’s total crap. Right? I’ve just received word from Fox in the Us that the home release of the movie is set for the 4th June on DVD and Blu-Ray and on their Digital HD platform on May 14th. You can read our theatrical review of the film by Fordy right here (it ain’t pretty), but a much harder, longer version is expected for the home release. I’m hoping for some harder action on the UK version of the discs when its released later in the summer, but for now here’s the full rundown of the Us bonus materials expected for the North American release. There’s a ton of them.

Olympus a Real Hit? R-Rated Thriller to Have Genre's Biggest Debut of the Year
23 March 2013 10:49 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The year's first White House movie ahead of early estimates, but is it a bona fide box-office hit? Olympus Has Fallen, featuring Gerard Butler and Aaron Eckhart (neither of whom has been terribly lucky at the domestic box office of late), will be this March 22-24 weekend's no. 2 movie, behind only the 3D animated feature The Croods and easily surpassing early predictions. Antoine Fuqua, probably best known for Ethan Hawke / Denzel Washington's Training Day (which earned Washington a Best Actor Academy Award), directed the R-rated thriller should earn around $28 million on its debut weekend -- it opened with $10.4 million at 3,098 sites this past Friday as per studio estimates found on the web site Box Office Mojo -- thus boasting this year's second highest R-rated debut and providing relatively new distributing company FilmDistrict with its most impressive opening weekend to date. Early predictions by various pundits had the year's "first »

Why 'Olympus Has Fallen' Is the Best ‘Die Hard’ Sequel We’ve Seen in Years
21 March 2013 3:01 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
By now, action audiences know the Die Hard drill. Terrorists invade a recognizable facility. Law-enforcement agents are neutered by a series of lethal threats, prompting a lone-wolf soldier who happens to be caught behind enemy lines to take it upon himself to wipe out an army of foreign antagonists, rescue the hostages and save the day. Yet, the formula that worked so well for John McTiernan’s 1988 classic Die Hard hasn’t necessarily worked for the countless other films that have tried to follow in its massive footsteps. Even official Die Hard sequels fail to live up to the high bar set by the original (see John Moore’s A Good Day to Die Hard for an example of such recent failures). Actually, don’t. It’s beyond terrible. ...

New Red-Band Clip & International Poster For Gerard Butler’s ‘Olympus Has Fallen’
10 March 2013 5:12 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
It came as a bit of a surprise recently when I discovered every Die Hard sequel had began life as an stand-alone action flick before characters names were changed to incorporate John McClane and his wise-cracking charm. It’s a shame nobody working on the latest entry thought to give the script for Olympus Has Fallen a tweak, following John Moore’s woeful, Russian-set sequel, A Good Day To Die Hard. It couldn’t have been any worse. If you’ve yet to see the trailer for Antoine Fuqua’s new action-thriller, it’s effectively Die Hard in the White House, and looks a barnstorming guilty pleasure.
The all-star cast sees 300 hunk, Gerard Butler as a off-duty Secret Service Agent attempting to save the President and his staff when foreign terrorists invade the iconic address.

The 6 Must-See Movies of March 2013
4 March 2013 7:00 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
This January and February lived up to their dumping ground stigma. We saw a few satisfying films here and there, but we also saw A Good Day to Die Hard. Brian Salisbury gave that movie a whooping, and he, along with other critics, could have been much harder on John Moore’s bland nightmare of a movie. The good news about this March, though: no movies directed by John Moore. Instead we’re seeing films from Park Chan-Wook, Sam Raimi, Derek Cianfrance, Harmony Korine, and Antoine Fuqua, directors a bit more trust-worthy. Even though Fuqua’s Olympus Has Fallen didn’t make the must-see list, it looks like a better Die Hard movie than the one we just endured. Without anymore further mention of A Good Day to Die Hard (seriously, I think I’m hung up on it), here are the five films to check out this month: Stoker Now in limited release. Fear »

Director John Moore talks working with Bruce Willis on A Good Day To Die Hard; also, is there a longer cut on the horizon?
27 February 2013 12:09 PM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
I know that some of you dug it, but for me, A Good Day To Die Hard was not up to par. I'm not going to jump into a rant about it, as we've already heard plenty already, but the disdain for the film by many (most?) is something that factors into this story. It seems that director John Moore, who generated next to no excitement upon being announced as the helmer of the fifth iteration of the franchise, had chopped a director's cut of the film, which is "substantially »

Open The Gates Of Hell! First TV Spot For Butler’s ‘Olympus Has Fallen’
22 February 2013 1:06 PM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
With John Moore’s Die Hard shitfest currently taking a mint at the international box-office, us action fans are in desperate need for a great return to the well-worn genre of ‘reluctant hero’ overcoming the odds. Thankfully, Gerard Butler could be about to bring us Die Hard In The White House, as his former Secret Service Agent sneaks into the iconic address to kick ass when ruthless terrorists invade Aaron Eckhart’s Presidential home in Antoine (Training Day) Fuqua’s Olympus Has Fallen.
The action-thriller has a strong supporting cast, which includes Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd, Rick Yune, Radha Mitchell, Dylan McDermott, Melissa Leo, Angela Bassett and Cole Hauser, who coincidentally, was criminally underused in Brucey’s A Good Day To Die Hard disaster.
Check out this first television spot for the film slated for Us cinemas 22nd March and the UK on the 19th April.

'A Good Day To Die Hard' - must watch for die-hard fans (Ians Movie Review)
19 February 2013 11:23 PM, PST | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Film: "A Good Day To Die Hard"; Actors: Bruce Willis, Jai Courtney, Sebastian Koch, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Yulia Snigir; Director: John Moore; Rating: **1/2
With over-the-top action, crazy car chases and loud blasting action sets, John Moore's "A Good Day To Die Hard" delivers the goods in explosions and destructions. Unfortunately, this franchise, the fifth in the series, deals with secret agent-cum-father-son bonding over gun shots and blasts, which seems more like a twist than a justifiable entry into the "Die Hard" series. Nevertheless, fighting bad guys under impossible odds is the basic outline, and a good one at that!

What A Day To Die Hard – The Marathon Review
18 February 2013 11:07 AM, PST | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
A little over a month ago, we posted that in celebration of it’s 25th anniversary there will be a Die Hard Marathon showing all four movies starting around Noon on February 13th followed by the premier of A Good Day To Die Hard at 10Pm getting out just before Midnight. That’s almost 12 action-packed hours of Die Hard awesomeness! As you can guess, there was no way I could refuse to take this opportunity to see one of the greatest action-movie series of all time for the first time on the big screen, or make that Mega-Screen since I decided to see this at Wehrenberg’s Chesterfield Galaxy 14 Cine, which in my opinion is one of the best movie theatres here in the St. Louis area. For $25 you got all five movies plus a collectable lanyard that entitles you to a 25% discount at concessions throughout the whole day and with their wide-selection, »

10 things that still don't make sense in 'A Good Day to Die Hard'
18 February 2013 2:03 AM, PST | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
The long awaited fifth "Die Hard" movie, "A Good Day To Die Hard," won the box office crown this President's Day weekend, but we've got to admit that after seeing John Moore's action flick we're still confused about a ton of stuff in the flick that really didn't make a whole lot of sense. Full disclosure, neither I nor HitFix's Drew McWeeny (whose review can be read here) are trying to be too tough on the latest John McClane adventure. We were actually both very much looking forward to it after the surprisingly good "Live Free or Die Hard." On the other hand, "A Good »

Latest Willis-as-McClane Film to Become Least Watched Domestically?
17 February 2013 8:50 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Box office comparisons between the current and the previous Die Hard movies [See previous post: "Is the latest Willis / Die Hard movie a domestic box-office hit or a flop?"] However, when compared to the previous four movies in the franchise, the latest entry is nothing but a box-office disappointment -- though, I should add, it's the first movie in the franchise not to open in late spring/summer. (Pictured above: Willis as the invincible hero John McClane in A Good Day to Die Hard.) Directed by John McTiernan (who's currently facing a potential one-year prison sentence for lying to the FBI during the Anthony Pellicano wiretapping investigation several years ago), the original Die Hard movie released in 1988 scored $7.5 million (approximately $14 million today) at 1,276 theaters on its first weekend in wide release, July 22-24. The movie eventually cumed with $83 million (approximately $162.5 million today) in the United States and Canada. Director Renny Harlin's Die Hard 2: Die Harder (1990) grossed $21.74m (approx. $41m today) at 2,507 venues on its opening »

Is the Latest Die Hard Flick a Domestic Hit or a Flop?

Willis stars in the action thriller A Good Day to Die Hard, but fifth installment in the Die Hard franchise doesn't have a very good weekend in North America The latest Bruce Willis Die Hard entry is having a just okay weekend at the domestic box office. The perfect date movie, it grossed a passable (for such a widely popular and long-lasting action franchise) $8.23 million at 3,553 theaters this past Thursday, Valentine's Day, plus an estimated $25 million from Friday to Sunday (February 15-17), according to studio estimates found on the web site Box Office Mojo. (Pictured above is A Good Day to Die Hard's star Willis as hero John McClane.) The movie's domestic total is $33.2 million after four days. That's hardly a fantastic opening, especially when taking into account that tomorrow is the Presidents Day holiday in the United States. Now, the Big Question: Could the latest Die Hard flick reach »

A Good Day to Die Hard and Bruce Willis Top Box Office with $25 Million

Bruce Willis and his fifth turn at John McClane in A Good Day to Die Hard beat out last week's champ Identity Thief and a quartet of new arrivals including Safe Haven and Beautiful Creatures to claim the number one spot at the North American box office over the President's Day weekend. While business roared back to life following the crippling blizzard on the East Coast last weekend, the numbers were still down roughly 12% from last year's levels.
It has been six years since Willis battled bad guys in Live Free or Die Hard. That 2007 PG-13 rated entry opened in late June and ended up making a franchise-high $134 million (pre-inflation) while scoring the best reviews for the series since the 1988 original.

The latest entry in the quarter-century running Die Hard franchise starring Bruce Willis, A Good Day to Die Hard, beat out last week's champ Identity Thief and a quartet of new arrivals including Safe Haven and Beautiful Creatures to claim the number one spot at the North American box office over the President's Day weekend. While business roared back to life following the crippling blizzard on the East Coast last weekend, the numbers were still down roughly 12% from last year's levels.
