Yesterday night, I watched Die Hard 4.0 (or Live Free or Die Hard) with friend. I do not remember exactly the previous series. The only thing I remember is that John McClane (Bruce Willis) is a never-die hardcore detective. This time, he takes on a team of high-tech terrorist team (hackers) who wants to shut down the whole U.S.

I watched Shrek the Third (Shrek 3) with my friend (a guy, too bad ). I watched the previous Shrek series, and Shrek 3 is as good if not better. Recommended!

Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, 300 is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite.

The movie started with a scene of happy people preparing to board the New Orleans Ferry. But tragedy happened when the bomb on board planted by a psychotic patriot set off, and resulted 543 casualties. Not a very pleasant way starting I must say. Doug Carl (DENZEL WASHINGTON), an agent of ATF, is assigned to recover the evidence of the after bombing, but he is further involved in the investigation of the crime when he knew more things could actually have been done.

My friend, HuiXin (Bear the Pooh’s author) was invited to special screening of the movie “Monster House”. Here is her review.
