• 'A Good Day To Die Hard' Review: One Really Bad Day For Fans Of John McClane

    I'll give it to Fox's marketing people: this first teaser trailer for the fifth John McClane outing, A Good Day to Die Hard, is zippy and fun. What happens in the movie? Who is McClane fighting, and why? Who's the guy with him? Why did that woman even bother wearing a bra if she wasn't…
