One Second Movie Reviews (Part 12)
August 21, 2009 by CaleSend to a FriendSvetlana and I are pretty obsessed with Netflix. I take the slightly more OCD route though by rating all my movies (between 1 and 5 stars) and rearranging my queue on an hourly basis. I will often berate her for giving odd ratings: “5 stars out of 5 for The Descent? Really?” She doesn’t care. I also send a lot of “notes” to friends, a Netflix feature that allows you to suggest movies to your friends via an up to 200 character mini review. Svetlana wishes ILive Free or Die Hard Blu ray
“The best of the best is back and better than ever” (WNYW-TV) in the latest installment of the pulse-pounding, thrill-a-minute Die Hard action films. New York City detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) delivers old-school justice to a new breed of terrorists when a massive computer attack on the U.S. infrastructure threatens to shut down the entire country over Independence Day weekend.

5 Stars live free or die hard
this is a very good action movie! i like it because there is almost no scean with out action. it is somewhat funny!
2 Stars Don’t buy Blu-Ray edition! NO UNRATED VERSION!
Boy did I get screwed! Having previously enjoyed this film as a rental from Netflix in standard DVD form, I took advantage of a special “buy 2 get one free” offer from Amazon on selected Blu-Ray titles. It never occurred to me that Fox would put LESS on the Blu-Ray than the standard DVD edition. SHAME ON YOU FOX!!!!!!!
3 Stars Awesome visuals with ridiculous story
I understand the good guy has to win. But when a villain mercilessly kills so many people without blinking and kills colleagues without an afterthought and then when it comes to killing the good guy, he has to prolongue it and give this whole “I’m going to kill you after I do this and this and this and I’m going to get pleasure out of watching you die, etc”, and this all comes after you’ve told countless henchmen to kill this person (which means a few minutes ago you didn’t mind somebody else doing a killing job that you wouldn’t see), I guess I’m just tired of the rehashed ridiculousness.
This villain assembles a team that has the entire United States of America by the balls, but then when it comes down to crunch time, it struggles with a cop that can’t be killed by hovering aircraft, crumbling freeway overpasses, or henchmen that managed to kill entire departments of security but can’t kill this one cop. This villain has everything planned beautifully, and then sends killer after killer, one by one just like the others, to kill this cop instead of just keeping the killers around him for protection, so when McClain does find him, he has to face several people with guns at once. Not that this would stop him, of course. But it’s a movie that tries to convince me that a brilliant villain would all of a sudden become very careless and that hired killers would turn into bumbling idiots.
The ridiculousness got to a point where I was actually rooting for the villain to win. There he is on the ground. You have a gun. Just shoot him.
But this film isn’t about believability. It’s about special effects and yippee ki-a mo fo. And if that’s your thing, than this movie’s awesome special affects doesn’t disappoint.

YouTube and Netflix Streaming on LG BD 300 is The Greatest Thing Ever
I got an LG BD300 for my birthday, and so far, I absolutely love this device. By the far the most used feature is Netflix streaming . Fortunately form me, my router is right next to my TV, so connecting the machine was very simple: just run an ethernet cord out from my Apple Airport into the BD300. Volia, I’m connected. The quality is quite good, and network problems are rare. I can’t get the highest quality, but it is still very good. The library is actually very impressive.
