Work hard and play hard

Seems like David Beckham is a genuinely nice bloke. You certainly don't have to appreciate the football teams he's played with, but he's alright, the lad. Humble even. He however was the biggest football star of his time.

Make a copy of a copy of a copy

The general stupidity of the characters is something else, but that’s how it goes oftentimes. Barbarian started out great, it was exciting and could have paved way for an excellent horror film. But they ran out of everything, ideas in particular.

Very harsh and unpleasant kind of business

The grandson of a famous gunslinger and cattle thief Jacob McCandles aka. Big Jake has been kidnapped for a ransom of $1 million dollars, so he sets out to rescue the boy. Decent western although its comic moments are shit.

More relaxed, poised, musical and open

According to a theory, by Norwegian psychiatrist, psychotherapist, author and professor Finn Skårderud, a man is born with too little alcohol in the blood (0.05% too low in fact). Four Danish teachers are encouraged by the study so much that they try it out, consume alcohol until they reach and maintain the appropriate level of inebriation, and the results seem positive. Teaching that once was boring seems so cool and innovative now. But the project can also have consequences. Thomas Vinterberg’s Another Round is genuinely funny, beautiful and heart-warming masterpiece.

A German terrorist Simon (Jeremy Irons) is in New York City and he plans to rob the Federal Reserve Building. John McClane (Bruce Willis) and a Harlem store owner Zeus (Samuel L. Jackson) race all over the city trying to figure out the puzzles that the terrorist gives them. John McTiernan's Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995) could just well be the best piece of the Die Hard franchise.
