So I once had a friend say, "That movies are suppossed to be a social event, and that she could not imagine ever going to a movie by herself." Well I beg to differ. There are times when I have needed time to myself and while books and nature are always a good outlet sometimes I just do not want to think. So I go see a movie. Other times I go alone because I am unsure of how horrible a movie it will be. The movie can be from any genre, but the movies that tend to have the worst acting or plot are Sci-Fi, Martial Arts, or Action.
It is a movie from the last genre which I saw today and I am whole heartily glad I did not see it with anyone else. I saw "Live free or Die Hard" or Die Hard 4. Now I am a fan of the previous three and while they all had their fair share of bad acting but for the most part had pretty decent action. Well this movie fails in both regards. The action makes just make so little sense. I mean how many Jet fighter pilots that you know of would fly a multi-million dollar jet in between levels of a highway when he can just use his missiles to blow his target up? Or how many helicopter pilots do you know would just let a car fly up a ramp and crash into their 'Copter?
There were some decent lines, "How about you dig deep and grow some big balls, because you are going to need them before this is over". Or "Stop moving you damn Hamster!"
Anyway if you have to see it, wait for video, do not spend $9+ to go see it.

Nice blog Jon,
I do not know if I could go see a movie alone. I don't think its weird to see a movie alone but for me even if I think it might be a bust or something stupid, I know I can always count on one of my friends to help me mock it or have a second opinion.
