I watched Conversations with God.

I found it to be a very inspiring film. Planning to read the book now.
Oh I forgot. the book he writes comes about after God speaks in an audible voice to him at one of his low points when he was ready to give up.

really? Yugh, no, i was ready to gut my eyeballs when his daughter started being all soppy at the end. Even Terminator 3 was better than Die Hard 4!

What dfo you mean all soppy at the end? She was about to be killed for gods sakes! What do you want her to act like the chick in transformers? "I am hot, funny, couragous, I fix cars AND I know how to rig a car to a tow truck"

I somehow doubt that's going to be a best-seller amongst the Muslim population hahah...
I read two of the books though, I especially liked the first one.

I watched Brick Lane
The F-35 scene spoiled it for me... when he magically flies it under a bridge to strafe at Bruce. It was just shameful.

But you know it's interesting that I too thought of T3... I guess it's just when good movie franchises go bad.

The F-35 Lightening scene was THE BEST PART OF THE WHOLE MOVIE!!!

If that isnt how the F-35 can maneuver in real time, or at least how they can make it manever, WHO CARES! ITS A MOVIE!

It was completely ridiculous yet totally entertaining, totally John Mclane style, yippie kay yay madness, just like in the FIRST movie.

you're right, women don't do that, little girls do. I don't really want to spend 2 hours watching some girl bounce around in heels and screech for her daddy because she's been kidnapped. I expect her to take her heels off and plant it in the middle of her kidnappers eyes

i thought she was going to cry : bachaaaaoooo any minute

Okay, in every Die Hard, there's some unbelievable part or parts.... but it's okay because Bruce Willis was just constantly funny, and could always make having a bad day look really cool.

This was like all the unbelievable stuff without the funny and cool.

I guess you dont like Justin Long or Timothy Olyphont.

I liked their acting in this movie, and Bruce Willis was entertaining trying to catch up to the 21st century.

I think the whole cast had a good chemistry.

You know, you sound like someone who used to post on this forum a couple of years ago. Her name was Forbidden Hearts. Remember her? Anyway, I dont believe it is what "little girls" do. People get scared of being killed, man or woman, and they would act in an irrational way.

The movie wasnt about his daughter. It was about the terrorists, and John trying to save the hacker and take them down, while getting his daughter back. No one said this was going to be some sort of genre breaking mind bender.

Then watch P2, or Resident Evil Extinction. Chicks can save the WORLD.
This movie isnt about women kicking butt. ITS ABOUT JOHN. MCLANE.
