Preliminary reviews before my full-length jobbers on these flicks, with one in honor of Gleason, who died the other day. His work as the easy-to-hate cheap baddie in many 80s movie will continue to inspire bit actors for years to come.

DIE HARD (1988) - ***** - Masterpiece
DIE HARD 2 (1990) - **1/2
DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE (1995) - ***1/2 or ****
