“Die Hard represents the class of modern action pictures and the standard by which they must be judged. Few films falling into the "mindless entertainment" genre have as much going for them as this movie. Not only is it a thrill-a-minute ride, but it has one of the best film villains in recent memory, a hero everyone can relate to, dialogue that crackles with wit, and a lot of very impressive pyrotechnics.” HardActionFilmDiesFallMemoriesClassModernMinutesHeroStandardsEntertainmentWitDialogueRelateGenreJudgedVillainThrillImpressiveMindlessBest FilmVery ImpressivePyrotechnics Author:James Berardinelli

“Our heroes are simple: they are brave, they tell the truth, they are good swordsmen and they are never in the long run really defeated. That is why no later books satisfy us like those which were read to us in childhood - for those promised a world of great simplicity of which we knew the rules, but the later books are complicated and contradictory with experience; they are formed out of our own disappointing memories.” WorldLongBookRunningMemoriesSimpleChildhoodHeroBraveSimplicityComplicatedTelling The TruthLong RunsDefeatedContradictoryDisappointingSwordsman Author:Graham Greene
“What happened after 9/11 - and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not - was deeply shameful. The atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons....The memory of 9/11 has been irrevocably poisoned; it has become an occasion for shame. And in its heart, the nation knows it.” PeopleThinkingKnowsShouldHeartHas BeensWarReasonWantedUsedFightingNationsMemoriesIssuesHappenedEventsHeroHorrorShould HaveShameOccasionsFakeJustifyCashShould Have BeenShamefulAtrocitiesUnifyingWrong ReasonsWedgesRudy Author:Paul Krugman
