"Yippie Ki Yay, Mother F--"
Nothing like a good action movie to make me feel better.
I just got finished watching "Live Free or Die Hard" and I was blown away, and you guys know it takes alot for me to be blown away by an action movie...or if you didn't you do now. The story was classic Die Hard, don't watch this movie expecting a revolutionary plot. It's kind of comic book-y, but like I said, classic Die Hard.
Len Wiseman, the directior and also the director of the Underworld movies, did an excellent excellent excellent and did I mention excellent? job on this one! It flung the bar up even higher for action movies and I thought they had done it all. I was plesantly surprised.
The villains were bad ass! They weren't half-steppin' in this movie. There was this once French bad guy that did what's called "parkour" which is kind of like a freelance gymnastics using your body and the environment to perform some really amazing stunts. It's hard to describe in words. But if you've seen the opening sequence in X2 with Nightcrawler, it's very similar to that minus the teleporting and wire work. Very cool stuff. I want to take classes and learn how to do it!
I also wouldn't mind learning to play the cello once I've graduated. There are so many things I want to do to take up all my free time! Learning languages, reading, writing, exercising. Oh, so many possibilities.
Well, that's the end of this strangely short post. Just thought I would recommend this crazy, good assed movie!
Peace. Out.
