Exclusive Preview of ’68: Jungle Jim #1
29 March 2013 2:48 PM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
We’ve been keeping Daily Dead readers updated on the latest ’68 issues for a while now, and we’re excited to bring you an exclusive first look at ’68: Jungle Jim #1, which will be out in stores on April 3rd. The four-part mini-series continues the story from the Jungle Jim one-shot, following Private Brian Curliss in a zombie-invested Vietnam:
“Vietnam, 1968: Behind enemy lines, Private Brian Curliss is alone. The enemy caged him, the dead want to devour him and the voices in his head are driving him to madness. A madness that emerges in the form of an unstoppable killing machine wrapped in burlap and bamboo…
Curliss is a one-man-army, sworn to wade through a wet red jungle gone straight to hell in search of a ghost named Jungle Jim. To the Viet Cong, he’s a nightmare. To POWs trapped in enemy hands, he’s salvation. To the legions of shambling, »

A Good Day to Die Hard and Bruce Willis Top Box Office with $25 Million
17 February 2013 7:13 PM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
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.
Twentieth Century Fox took five years to deliver the inevitable follow up and finally did in the form of R-rated A Good Day to Die Hard, the first franchise »
A Good Day to Die Hard Lags Predecessors at Box Office with $25 Million Weekend
17 February 2013 12:57 PM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
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.
It has been six years since we last saw New York cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) take down hordes of 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.

Rated: A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)
17 February 2013 8:23 AM, PST | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
Like aging rock bands on tour belting out the same ancient hit song over and over again, a trend has emerged in Hollywood which allows former action heroes of decades past to give it another try. A Good Day To Die Hard is the latest film to ride that wave.
The unique thing about action films is that, typically, if they turn out to be popular and profitable, you can almost always guarantee that there will be a sequel. Similarly, if that original film experiences unusual success for all those involved, you can almost always guarantee that more than one sequel will be attempted. Rocky, Rambo, The Terminator, and Die Hard are all excellent examples. Sequels for these films should have stopped when the number that came after the main title was “2”, but that didn’t happen. These franchises were once solid and commendable film accomplishments; some of the most »

Blue Bloods Review: The One Who Breaks
15 February 2013 10:00 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
"Warriors" took Blue Bloods fans to one of the scariest scenes known to humankind. The middle of a 16 year old's driving lesson. The surprise was that it wasn't NIcky that invoked our fear, it was Erin.
Who would have guessed that Erin was an aggressive driver? She yelled at other drivers as though they could hear her and used the horn liberally, as Frank put it and did it all while coaching her nervous daughter.
I couldn't believe she instructed Nicky to cross over the double yellow line instead of waiting for the cab to move, then criticized that she wasn't going fast enough. Oye. I didn't blame Nicky for calling an end to mother / daughter driving time. As she told Erin in this Blue Bloods quote.
Behind enemy lines in a tank, for sure I'd want you to be behind the wheel. | permalink
Apparently Reagans were not known for their driving prowess. »

Movie Reviews: 'Die Hard,' 'Beautiful Creatures,' and 'Safe Haven' Hit Theaters
15 February 2013 10:23 AM, PST | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Whether you're an action fanatic, Ya addict, or romantic softie, this weekend the box office is serving up something for everyone. From John Moore ("Behind Enemy Lines"), "A Good Day to Die Hard" follows John McClane (Bruce Willis) as he travels to Russia to rescue his potentially wayward son (Jai Courtney). Once there, he discovers his boy is actually a CIA operative. Soon the duo find themselves battling (surprise!) terrorists with a taste for destruction/large sums of money. If "Die Hard" doesn't get you yippie-kay-ay-ing, check out "Beautiful Creatures." Based on the "Caster Chronicles," the uber-popular Ya series, the supernatural story centers around two star-crossed lovers, played by Alden Ehrenreich and Alice Englert. However, if you want your romance served straight-up, look no further then "Safe Haven." From the tear-jerker king, Nicholas Sparks, the love story stars Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough, and promises its share of heart-clenching and eye-dabbing. »

'A Good Day to Die Hard' movie review: This is not the 'Die Hard' you're looking for
14 February 2013 12:43 PM, PST | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
"A Good Day to Die Hard" has some of the stuff you expect from a "Die Hard" movie -- Bruce Willis as John McClane, insanely over-the-top action -- without any of the charm, wit or personality that actually defines the action franchise.
It's too easy to say "Good Day" is as bad as "Die Hard" gets, but that doesn't mean it's not true. At 97 minutes -- a record brief running time for the franchise -- it's a nasty, brutish and short movie that relies on nonstop destruction to distract from an overly convoluted plot.
The basics of the story involve McClane traveling to Moscow in search of estranged son, Jack (Jai Courtney) a.k.a. John Jr., only to discover that Jr. is an undercover CIA agent trying to protect whistleblower Komarov (Sebastian Koch) from government assassins. When things get really heated, the older McClane steps in to help out. »

Sound Off: John Moore's 'A Good Day to Die Hard' - Your Thoughts?
14 February 2013 8:24 AM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Now that you've seen it, what did you think? He's back, again! For more explosions! John McClane - the "007 of Plainfield, New Jersey". Returning for his fifth time, it's A Good Day to Die Hard, directed by John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines, The Omen, Max Payne), another action movie about McClane but this time he's in Russia when shit goes down. Bruce Willis returns to take on the bad guys and he's joined by actor Jai Courtney playing his son Jack. So how is this one? Better than the fourth, third, or second? Or more action trash? Once you've seen it, post a comment with your thoughts about A Good Day to Die Hard. To fuel the explosions, as much as I enjoyed some of the action in this, overall there wasn't much there. The best part about A Good Day to Die Hard is that it's very lightweight entertainment, »

12 ways to fix the Die Hard franchise
14 February 2013 7:13 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Feature Simon Brew Feb 15, 2013
As A Good Day To Die Hard opens to mediocre reviews, we come up with a dozen things on our Die Hard 6 wishlist...
Warning: The following contains light spoilers for A Good Day To Die Hard
By now, quite a few of you are likely to have seen the latest Die Hard movie. Chances are, many liked it a lot more than we did. However, with Die Hard 6 all but already confirmed, we've got a bit of a wishlist of things we'd like the franchise to sort out. So without further ado...
1. Enough of this 12A/PG-13 nonsense
We may as well start with one of the key areas of complaint, and get it out the way. Few people have any quarrel when a movie organically arrives at a 12A/PG-13 rating, because that's appropriate for the material, and for telling the story properly. Where the »

A Good Day to Die Hard Review: Bad Day for Fans
13 February 2013 7:12 PM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
Dear Bruce Willis,
What happened to you? You used to represent the best in the action hero archetype. The "everyman" who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time; a man who, when the stuff hit the fan, found a way to save people and make us root for you. David Addison be damned, you were John McClane! You were the best of us. And we loved you.
But now...
A Good Day to Die Hard is a terrible film. There, I can save you time in reading this review, because it needs to be said early and often. Take every dumb cliche; every ridiculous action film notion, and then add terrible editing, a horrible script, suspect directing, and a shaky handheld camera and you get the latest (and hopefully last) film in the decades-running Die Hard film franchise.

Is This 'Die Hard' A Big Joke?
13 February 2013 3:26 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
It's supposed to be a parody of itself, right?
That's the only way to explain the ridiculously over-the-top, repetitively numbing fifth film in the "Die Hard" franchise, the clunkily titled "A Good Day to Die Hard."
John McClane used to be a cowboy. Now, he's a cartoon character – specifically, Wile E. Coyote, given how many times he should be seriously injured and/or killed in this movie. He's shot at, involved in several serious car accidents, crashes through glass windows and ceilings and plummets through floor after floor of high-rise scaffolding. The most he suffers is a scratch here and there, and then he's ready to pop back up again with a bemused twinkle in his eye and a wry quip.
Part of the charm of this character, which was crucial in defining Bruce Willis' career, was the regular-guy, Reagan-era resourcefulness he represented; now, he's weirdly superhuman. But as »

A Good Day To Die Hard Review
13 February 2013 2:28 PM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
A Good Day To Die Hard is not among the very worst action films I have ever seen – nor is it even the worst movie opening in theatres today – but as lazy, forgettable, utterly soulless Hollywood filmmaking goes, this is a particularly depressing exercise in banality. Whatever the film wishes to call itself, it is not a Die Hard movie, in any way, shape, or form, not only bearing no conceivable resemblance to the original 1988 film, but standing many worlds away from the franchise’s fourth and most recent entry, Live Free or Die Hard. It is something else entirely, something ugly and crass and uncomfortably mean-spirited, and while I am sure it will leave my thoughts for good only a short while after finishing this review, for the moment, I feel utterly sad and disheartened by how far this once entertaining series has fallen.
I am sure many viewers will feel the same way. »

A Good Day To Die Hard review
13 February 2013 1:34 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Review Simon Brew Feb 14, 2013
John McClane heads to Russia for the fifth Die Hard movie. Unfortunately, the magic was lost in the long-haul flight...
It might just be a good job that John McTiernan’s heading to prison. If the director of Die Hard and Die Hard With A Vengeance slapped his eyes on the fifth instalment of the series, he might otherwise be tempted to go and pay a few people involved a visit. With good reason too. And we’d give him a lift. Because A Good Day To Die Hard is, and there's no nice way to say this, pretty terrible. It's a bad Die Hard movie, and a bad action movie.
It starts promisingly, with a tease that A Good Day To Die Hard will be far more respectful of the series than its immediate predecessor. The screen is black. Michael Kamen’s take on the music starts to play. »

Interview With John Moore On A Good Day To Die Hard
12 February 2013 7:12 PM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
John Moore, the director of Behind Enemy Lines and Max Payne, finally got to realize his big dream this year when he was able to direct a Die Hard movie, A Good Day To Die Hard. The fifth films in the long running series which has John McClane (Bruce Willis) traveling to Russia to help his wayward son Jack (Jai Courtney). Though not the strongest film in the franchise, it was still packed with enough action, explosions and badass moments to make it an enjoyable watch.
Last week, the film had a press day in Los Angeles and I was lucky enough to get a one-on-one interview with Moore to discuss the film. We talked about how he got the job, working with a new sound system on it, his sadness over the disappearance of film and much more.
