The Movie Guy: A Good Day to Die Hard and Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning
Tweet A good day to Die Hard (Now in theaters…) Let me start off this review by first saying that I love Bruce Willis movies in a way that I am fairly certainly isn’t healthy for anyone to love them. This is an actor, who no matter what sort of role he is playing, [...]

Tweet Warm Bodies (Now in Theaters…) So let me come out and say that Warm Bodies is not the first ‘Zom-Rom-Com’ (Zombie romantic comedy…) ever to be made despite what ads and reviews for the movie seem to proclaim. That dubious honor falls to (as far as I know…) 1993’s ‘My boyfriends back’ a story [...]
