Live Free or Die Hard (2007)

Cast: Bruce Willis (John McClane), Timothy Olyphant (Thomas Gabriel), Justin Long (Matt Farrell), Maggie Q (Mai Lin), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Lucy McClane)
For complete info, see IMDb's Live Free or Die Hard page.

Live Free or Die Hard is the most action-packed and (in my opinion) best of the Die Hard movies. Bruce Willis may be a bit older than he was for the first three movies, but making this movie was a great idea and I'm very glad I saw it on the big screen. John McClane still has it and he kicked ass again in this movie. The plot is well done, the acting is great, and the special effects are AMAZING.

If you like action movies and enjoyed the other three Die Hard movies, get to a theatre to see Live Free or Die Hard as soon as possible. You won't be disappointed. It's the perfect action movie and it's very well done!

Grade: A-

Catch and Release (2006)

Cast: Jennifer Garner (Gray Wheeler), Timothy Olyphant (Fritz), Sam Jaeger (Dennis), Kevin Smith (Sam), Juliette Lewis (Maureen Monette)
For complete info, see IMDb's Catch and Release page.

This movie about a woman learning about her fiance's secrets after his death is actually a pretty touching romantic comedy. Considering how much the release of this movie was delayed (which tends to be a bad sign), I wasn't sure how good it would be, even though I'm a Jennifer Garner fan. Catch and Release wasn't the typical romantic comedy in most ways, which is good. Parts of the movie were standard, but it was refreshing to see a bit of a different take on the romantic comedy.

Grade: B

Go (1999)

Cast: Katie Holmes (Claire Montgomery), Sarah Polly (Ronna Martin), Scott Wolf (Adam), Jay Mohr (Zack), Timothy Olyphant (Todd Gaines), William Fichtner (Burke)
For complete info on this amazing cast, see IMDb's Go page.

Go is slow in the beginning, but as soon as it gets to the point where you're seeing the same basic story through everyone's perspective, it gets very interesting and funny. The cast is wonderful. Every time someone else showed up, I was surprised at how deep the great casting goes.

This is definitely a very off-beat movie, but my husband and I enjoyed it. I'd say it's well worth renting or recording.

Grade: B+

The Girl Next Door (2004)

Cast: Emile Hirsch (Matthew Kidman), Elisha Cuthbert (Danielle), Timothy Olyphant (Kelly)
For complete cast list, see IMDb's The Girl Next Door page.

This was a fun movie. A lot funnier than we anticipated going into it and a fun way to spend a couple hours. I'd definitely say you should rent it if you don't have time to see it before it leaves theatres.

The Girl Next Door is a great teen romantic comedy that's a lot funnier than the previews showed. There's a really good cast and directing.

Grade: B+
