Confessions of an unpaid homebased beerdrinking chickenwings eating movie critic:
I'm a sucker for any movie which stars a gun wielding Bruce Willis.
I have all the Die Hard movies on DVD. So what if you didn't like 16 Blocks? I'll secretly watch it at home inspite of the bad reviews online. There's more to him than the honest cop who beats up local thugs/ international terrorists/ other not so honest cops. He's capable of playing lead roles in other genres too, you name it he's been there, romance (The Story of Us, Moonlighting), comedy (The Whole Nine Yards, Friends), sci-fi (The Fifth Element, 12 Monkeys) , thriller (The Sixth Sense, do you remember the stellar father figure like screen presence) and film noir (Sin City, Pulp Fiction). But till this very day, he remains one of the most typecast and underrated actors in the industry.

Whether you play John Hartigan or John McLane.. Mr.Willis, I admire you and I'd like to have a beer with you someday.

In the Tarantino school, the pesky loudmouth might get an A. But what good would it do him in the real world?
