PIVEN LIVES IN THE KINGDOM

DIE HARD WITH A LOUSY TITLE

John McClane is dusting off his Beretta and coming out of retirement for a fourth Die Hard, and though it’s been over a decade since he last shot holes through Euro-thieves, Fox is hoping the rickety, irascible cop will provide a sufficient challenge to… Continue reading
