Film 177/365, Day 187/365 – Hard to Kill

Seagal kicks ass.  This is up there with Seagal’s best work, his fighting is fluid, fast and deadly.  Throw in Kelly LeBrock to make it more pleasing on the eye, let’s face it she’s not there for her acting skills and why would you want someone to act when Seagal is breaking bones left, right and centre!  Smashing!

Synopsis:  A hit squad go after cop Mason Storm.  They break into his house and leave Mason and his family for dead.  Unfortunately for them they didn’t complete the job.  Mason is taken to a secret hospital where he spends the next couple of years in a coma.  When he wakes he only has one thing on his mind… revenge.

Film 56/365, Day 60/365 – Die Hard 2: Die Harder

John McClane, now with the L.A. police department, finds himself in Washington DC for Christmas. Waiting for his wife to arrive from a flight from L.A. John uncovers a plot to take over the airport. Before it’s too late, and anyone will listen to him, the terrorists take complete control of the airport and shut down the runways leaving a number of planes circling in the skies above slowly running out of fuel.

Whilst not quite as good as the original Die Hard 2 is still a great follow up. All of the characters from the first film make an appearance throughout the film except of of course for poor old Hans Gruber. Which I think is why I don’t give it as good a rating, Alan Rickman is practically irreplaceable. What you do get from Die Hard 2 is great action and all the fun and excitement.
