"Hello I'm a Mac.......... and I'm Die Hard"

Have you ever seen the Apple Mac advertisements? They will always start with, "Hello I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC" and continue with all that crap they do....anyway, the reason i'm bringing this up is because I have just watched the movie "live free or die hard" aka Die Hard 4.0 and the hero's sidekick is the guy that was acting in the Apple Mac advertisements (the Mac guy).

Now I'll try not to give out any spoilers so, allow me to give some introduction to the movie. The reason the movie is called "Die hard 4.0" (take note the 4.0) is because it is about cyber terrorism and the "4.0" is kindda like a "dot.net" way to put it. The Mac guy plays the role of a hacker that accidentally helps the terrorist come up with a code to hack government computer systems. As a note the terrorists boss is an American, so that rules out any external Al-Qaeda extremist groups doing the terrorism. Like other series in the Die Hard franchise, it is packed with action.....with lots of explosions, shooting, people dying car chases and not forgetting some hot chicks.... Acting was Nothing special and I can say the same for the storyline. Its a typical American action movie. Yet it was fun to watch, so I recommend watching it.

More interesting was the cinema in which i watched the movie. It was part of a special offer called "wake up movie", where the movie, tentatively, started at 6am, YES, 6am and we get a croissant and coffee for free and it (only) costs 3 euros!! It was the first time i experienced watching a movie at that hour. We were "earlier than the birds". However the movie only started at 6.50am due to some delays....and afterwards we went straight to work....how cool is that?

I wish there were something like this in Malaysian theaters :)
