It's official, Terminator : Genesis has its Kyle Reese , and he will be played by A Good Day to Die Hard 's Jai Courtney . Courtney joins Emilia Clarke (Sarah Connor), Jason Clarke (John Connor) and the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger in the new flick, which is intended to kick off a trilogy of Terminator films.

To be clear, the RoboCop remake made $2.8 million on it's opening day , which was a Wednesday , while The Lego Movie took in $2.1 million, it's sixth day of release. There are a couple of ways to look at this. One, the reboot beat out the No. 1 movie in American , which made almost $70 million in three days. If The Lego Movie, which has uber strong word of mouth and is loved by everyone I know who's seen it (child and adult alike) then RoboCop could do quite well this weekend. Thursday and Friday numbers will tell the tale.

The second of two terrorists-take-over-the- White-House movies to come out in 2013, Roland Emmerich 's wannabe blockbuster bombed in the wake of box office success Olympus Has Fallen -- and that movie was Rated R while this Channing Tatum/Jamie Foxx vehicle was a family friendly PG-13 . Which is the better flick? Stick with me! While on a tour of the White House with his young daughter, a Capitol policeman springs into action to save his child and protect the president from a heavily armed group of paramilitary invaders. For about 75 per cent of its running time, White House Down is a better Die Hard movie than A Good Day to Die Hard . It's funny, action-packed and features decent turns by Tatum and Foxx. It's too bad the movie shifts into autopilot for the third act, because I had a blast for the first hour and 30 minutes. What works? The action scenes are decent, although I prefer the brutality of Olympus Has Fallen, and the performances solid. Everything...

Of all the promotional material I've seen for A Good Day to Die Hard , this is my hands down favourite. Why, because it's A Walk Down Memory McClane, as in John McClane 's greatest hits. Too fucking cool!  I cannot wait to see the character back on the big screen Feb. 14. This is a must see for any self-respecting action fan, period! Bruce Willis returns as John McClane in the fifth installment of the action franchise. This time, he travels to Russia to get his son, played by Jai Courtney, out of trouble. Yippe-ki-yay, motherfucker! Source: Movie Fanatic Related articles Film: Contest: Hey Chicago, see A Good Day To Die Hard early and for free Die Hard getting a 25th Anniversary blu ray set!

It's Friday . Which means, for some inexplicable reason, we've got more promotional material for the new Die Hard movie. Not that we're complaining, because we sure as shit aren't. As is standard with this kind of stuff, the powers that be at 20th. Century Fox have edited down what is clearly a lengthy sequence -- the beginning of a car chase from the looks of things -- and crammed as much material into one short video. The point is clearly to highlight one great vehicle stunt and the return of a smart ass John McClane . There is much rejoicing. I personally can't wait for this motherfucker to open. In fact, I just told my wife to line up a sitter for the weekend of Feb. 15 to 17. A Good Day to Die Hard opens Feb. 14. John McClane travels to Russia to help out his seemingly wayward son, Jack, only to discover that Jack is a CIA operative working to prevent a nuclear-weapons heist, causing the father and son to team up against underworld forces.  T...

Of course I post this knowing full well that our little backwater corner of the universe doesn't have an AMC Theatre , therefore driving myself and other local Basementites batshit crazy because we won't be able to partake in what will truly be an epic movie marathon . But The Basement's biggest audience is outside of our Bible belt , so it's with great pleasure and jealousy that Shawn and I inform you all five Die Hard movies hit the big screen for one day only Feb. 13. That's right, John McClane fans, you can watch Die Hard, Die Hard 2: Die Harder , Die Hard with a Vengeance and Live Free or Die Hard right before the premiere of A Good Day to Die Hard . Now THAT is a day at the movies I'd kill my own mother to be a part of. Here's a little peek at said marathon. The series screens at select AMC Theatres, so follow the link and get on board, you lucky bastards. The rest of us will catch A Good Day to Die Hard when it opens Feb. 14. Sour...

That's right, 17 new images from the upcoming R-RATED action fivequel A Good Day to Die Hard. With Arnold Schwarzenegger back in The Last Stand this weekend, Sylvester Stallone's Bullet to the Head due later this month, and The Bruce's latest Die Hard out Feb. 14, this truly is the Year of Action. Thanks to Jon Cross for coining that phrase. Below are said images, featuring Bruce Willis, co-star Jai Courtney as his son, and hot Russian chick Yuliya Snigir showing more of what's underneath that leather motorcycle outfit. John McClane travels to Russia to help out his seemingly wayward son, Jack, only to discover that Jack is a CIA operative working to prevent a nuclear-weapons heist, causing the father and son to team up against underworld forces. And now the pictures: Thanks to The Lebanese Cinema Movie Guide for digging up these images.

That's what our friends at JoBlo.com are saying. Contributor Paul Shirey says he's heard from a credible source that the fifth entry in the Die Hard franchise will receive an R rating for it's Feb. 14 release, with an official announcement coming soon. Gotta say, having grown up with the series' R-rated roots, I'm giddy. No, I don't need copious amounts of blood and gore to make me happy, but I also don't need "Yippe-ki-yay motherBLAM!" either. John McClane, much like Shawn and I, is a foul-mouthed, smart aleck, motherfucker, and that comes off best uncensored. Shirey says it might seem silly to get excited about a movie's rating, and I agree. But it's nice to see a big studio like 20th Century Fox realize the brand they are working with and not compromise it. Is there hope for Hollywood after all? Doubt it, but at least they're trying. John McClane (Bruce Willis) travels to Russia to help out his seemingly wayward son, Jack,...

Not that we're complaining. Oh no. Not us. Sure, there's the one CGI-enhanced sequence involving our plummeting heroes and an exploding helicopter, but the rest is pure gold. There's also more story this time, not that story is uber important with a movie like this. We've got explosions, gunfire, a hot chick in black lingerie riding a motorcycle, and The Bruce making funny. Bring on Feb. 14! And I gotta admit, the line "Me and my boy are gonna put a whuppin' on you" makes me proud to be the father of a son. John McClane (Bruce Willis) travels to Russia to help out his seemingly wayward son, Jack, only to discover that Jack is a CIA operative working to prevent a nuclear-weapons heist, causing the father and son to team up against underworld forces. Jai Courtney, most recently seen as one of the baddies in Jack Reacher, plays . . . well . . . Jack. Thanks to EW.com for the trailer.

The Bruce and things that go pop, as that old Outland comic strip once said. Did I just date myself? If so, I hope I put out. Yes, this appeared in Entertainment Weekly a couple of days ago. But, in the interest of good taste following the Newtown shootings, we figured we'd hold off for a day or two before posting anything with a firearm on it. And, being an action movie, guns figure big in A Good Day to Die Hard. I actually dig this poster for the fifth Die Hard film. It gives supporting player Jai Courtney a bit of the short shift, but this franchise still belong to Bruce Willis, dammit. So he deserves to be front and centre. This time around John McClane travels to Russia to help out his seemingly wayward son, Jack, only to discover that Jack is a CIA operative working to prevent a nuclear-weapons heist, causing the father and son to team up against underworld forces.  A Good Day to Die Hard opens Feb. 14.
