The DIE HARD film franchise has long since been forgotten by modern film going audiences replaced by...well, it really hasn't been replaced by anything.

The werewolf genre is the pariah of horror and monster films as that there are more bad ones then good ones and the good ones appear so seldom as to go unnoticed when originally released. Unlike the vampire genre, the werewolf genre finds it hard to reboot and/or throw away old conventions for something new and exciting, so,...

The first 'PIRATES' was a welcomed relief of originality that had been extinct with much of the pirate films in the 30 years hence.

Entertainment > Movie News & Previews Anticipating the theatrical release of Sin City 2: 1 of 4

Not being a huge fan of the original SIN CITY there is no doubt that it was a technical achievement in both filmmaking and to the comic book to film sub-genre itself.
