Maybe a decade ago I stumbled into a Die Hardfilm on the road somewhere. I wanted to wind down in a hotel room. The action flik that I never wanted to see in a cinema was much better than I anticipated. This sequel A Good Day to Die Hardis just plain old stupid.A Good Day to Die Hard

Remember the days when everyone in the airplane has to see the same movie. All new planes have personalized entertainment unit, which makes it difficult for movie fans to sleep during a flight. I am getting better at turning of the little screen! Because I had seen many of the new films on offer, I sampled three lesser-known films on recent flights.Jack Reacher, A Perfect Plan (Un Plan Parfait), This is 40

It took the US government 10 years to find and kill Osama Bin Laden. The film spends a long 2 hours and 37 minutes to chronicle the long hunt. The first hour is so slow that you feel as frustrated as the people who were hunting Osama for years without meaningful progress.Zero Dark 30
