A GOOD DAY TO DIE (2013)

Die hard is a franchise that has been successful and different from each other die hard movie, giving you twists and turns that have kept you on the edge of your seat. Cementing your position for the front seat for the next die hard movie. A good day to die tried to raise the bar of action, but fell far short from audiences expectations. It seemed that it didn't have a solid story so it borrowed some of the early scenes from its more successful die hard movies. It did raise the bar for most ridiculous American cliche in one movie. It takes more then explosions and gun shoot out to make a good movie. But this most recent edition to the franchise thought people would be blown away from the wow factor of die hard and Bruce Willis in the title. This was one Bruce Willis movie that made him look older by sharing Bruce's action scenes, and slowing him down. Maybe his son is supposed to take the reins because Bruce is getting to expensive for a franchise that may have died because of this latest edition. So buy the four blu ray bundle of die hard and pretend there isn't a fifth movie.



THE HOST(2013)

The Host showed so much promise during its trailer to be a stand out action, adventure with a little bit of romance flick with a difference.  It only seems to fall short of all it's attempted genre's. It started off like many movies with straight off action, and then a long explanation of how Melanie/ Wanda got in their unfortunate situations. The movie tried to convince its audience that their was a love triangle in the 125 minutes that it ran that would equal the quality romance movies that people have instilled in their mind and later have used movie quotes when communicating with there loved ones. But the word LOVE seemed to be thrown around hoping that it would stick and be enough to feel the audience with a powerful emotion. But all that i felt was the lack of emotion that was coming from the actors who were forced to read the bad script. The advertising tried to use the success of twilight to promote The Host as if it was Stephenie Meyer next great addiction. Hopefully the bad reviews will stop any chance of the next part coming out any time soon because its PG rating stopped it from taking bolder steps in its failed attempt genres. There a movies that promise so little and deliver a whole lot more than The Host, So save your money and watch something with the courage to give an explanation that didn't seem to come out of disney.
