Comments on: Are you ready for the summer? http://blogs.e-rockford.com/movieman/2008/04/28/are-you-ready-for-the-summer/ When film critic Will Pfeifer isn’t watching movies, he’s reading about movies, talking about movies, thinking about movies or dreaming about movies.

(I even like the third in the series, right up until its nonexistent ending). And the first two are set during Christmas, though DIE HARD takes place in sunny LA. Bob -- Yes, I was kidding.
