Alan Rickman, Timothy Olyphant, William Sadler…look, you guys are great. Love the mugging. Dig the accents. But let’s face it, you’re not what the “Die Hard” series needs. You’re not real-life badasses (I’ve seen you in “Truly Madly Deeply,” Mr. Rickman. Tisk, tisk).
No, Justin Long and I agree, what the “Die Hard” series needs most moving forward is a real-life convict, someone hard, someone who’s actually been to jail, someone who can be a real foil for John McClane.
“Paris Hilton!” Long enthused. Wait, what? “I would like to see Paris Hilton be the bad guy [in "Die Hard 5”],” Long joked with MTV News. “That would be fun. Let her play a diabolical, super-scientist or something like that.” The hotel heiress even bears a remarkable resemblance to a former “Die Hard” baddie, Long pointed out. “Let’s face it, she is sort of like the female Jeremy Irons,” he said, laughing.
Who would you like to see match wits with John McClane? Chime in below.

As my buddies and I said in our animated review on our website spill.com, I’d like to see Michael Chiklis play John Mcclaine’s evil brother. Or John Mccain can play a deceptive evil politician. Man, this is gonna be good. Only, as the titles for the films have gotten stupider and stupider, “Die Harder”, “Die Hard with a Vengeance” and now “Live Free or Die Hard” the real question is, what can they possibly name it that is dumber than what they’ve already come up with?
“Die Hard or Don’t…See If I Care”
“Die Hardwood Floors Under This Old Carpet”
“Die Die Die Hard My darling”
“Die Harrrrdddd with Pirates”
You get the idea.

I just discover the best way to inform about a movie thanks to NyTimes rating system. I just watch “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer“, and this is the review in a small capsule:
“Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer” is rated PG. It has modest action and major cleavage.
Other movie I just saw its Evan Almighty:
“Evan Almighty” is rated PG. It has some mildly naughty humor, but nowhere near as much sex or violence as the Book of Genesis.
I just start putting together this small reviews here: Ny Times Capsules
