Shrek III or Die Hard 4
The boys and I went to see Live Free or Die Hard this evening.
We had considered, briefly, seeing Shrek III but in the end carnage won out over animation.
I don't do movie reviews very well — I simply like something or I don't. I didn't like Anchorman to the point that I walked out before it was over (Maybe the last half was kick-ass funny. I don't know. I should probably point out that I was in the process of being divorced when it came out).
I thought Live Free or Die Hard was very good. So many things that couldn't/wouldn't possibly happen do happen causing just the right amount of explosions, destruction and popcorn eating.
As we learned from Be Cool, if a movie contains the word "fuck" more than once is gets an R rating. LFODH employs the word but a single time, with the "mother" prefix, in a manner that is not gratuitous but that ties the story together and allows the audience to see into the souls of some of the characters … only moments before Bruce Willis blows them away. (I almost cried.)
Live Free or Die Hard was exactly the type of movie I thought it would be. I may go see it again.

I would have chosen Shrek III but then I'm girly and that's what we do. Little Miss Pen is going to see it tomorrow as part of a Birthday outing for one of her friends, I'll let you know her opinion, I know how highly valued it is!
