So I wanted to rate these flicks but felt weird about giving them their own proper space since one is direct-to-DVD and the other two are as old as time itself. :P But I couldn't ignore them either, so here we go...
Bender's Big Score (2007)
- directed by Dwayne Carey-Hill
7/10 This is the return of Futurama. Worth a viewing if you're a fan of the series, which I am, though I was a little underwhelmed by the movie. And I was more than a little disappointed to learn that this film, along with its three follow-up films, will be dissected into episodes for the "fifth season" of the series on Comedy Central. I'm guessing that decision, to separate each film into four separate episodes, is what made the experience less than stellar. Something seemed off about the movie. But hey, it's Futurama and it's good for a laugh... just not the best the series has been known to deliver.
Die Hard (1988)
- directed by John McTiernan
8.5/10 An oldie but a goodie. It wasn't until recently that I watched this film in its entirety. I knew it was going to be great, I just didn't know how great. It's the boilerplate for every modern action flick. Save for a few niggling issues this film stands the test of time.
Die Hard 2 - Die Harder (1990)
- directed by Renny Harlin
7/10 Not as great as the original, but an entertaining popcorn flick through-and-through.
DS333, okay.
