Bruce Willis (left) as John McClane in the five-film Die Hard series

Welcome to the party, Pal: 'Die Hard' and Bruce Willis's John McClane make it to 25, just about intact

DVD & Blu-ray review: Looper (15)

“This time-travel crap, just fries your brain like a egg...” maintains Jeff Daniels's cerebral thug, and the first hour of this mind-bending sci-fi is a little too mind-frying.

The trailer for A Good Day to Die Hard, the fifth film in the Die Hard, er, trilogy, has just been released. Here's all you need to know about it in numbers:

Bruce Willis plays a sheriff leading a search party in 'Moonrise Kingdom'

Man with the child in his style

Wes Anderson's films are as formally distinctive as Peter Greenaway's, and sometimes as maddening. They are pictorial things, but less in the way of a film than, say, a graphic novel. Where Greenaway thinks like a painter, Anderson uses the camera like a cartoonist, each frame hyper-composed in colour and composition, an eccentric mini-work of art in itself. What the frames don't have is much sense of physical or emotional movement from one to another. It's the same with the dialogue. People in Wes World don't overlap in their conversation – a character says something, then there's a pause, then another character replies. Again, it's like the thin white lines dividing one box from another in a comic strip. Some find the effect very charming.
