Die Hard, Read harder

Am getting bored sitting at home. My friends never seem to organize themselves. 4 years of engineering and our group of 6 has not gone for one single movie together. dhikkar hai !!
So my friend Ranade and I decide to go for Die Hard 4.0, which has just hit the theatres. What an awesome movie. Poora paisa vasool. The action sequences are amazing. As are the special effects. And Bruce Willis rocks and does the 'cop who is caught in the wrong place at the wrong time' routine perfectly. The one liners are to die for. The villain is far more high tech this time, it's all about computer hackers, explaining the '4.0' in the title. To top off the superior movie, the theater was awesome too. Starcity has improved its seating, and overhauled it's entire wall paneling for better sound absorbers. Also has a sofa section in case you want to take the special someone.
The downside is they charge double on the popcorn. 30 frigging bucks !!! Didn't eat during the movie.
Other than that have been reading books. No no, not those self help books, or those spiritual philosophical books. Just the plain old fiction thriller, by Lee Child, called Persuador, in which the bad guy ends up dying..slowly...painfully...well, it's a real nice read. So much so, that i got another one by the same author, called Killing Floor, and the protagonist is the same as the first one.
