Live Free or Die Hard may work better for an audience that doesn't know much about the series is than it will for Die Hard die hards, who will be wondering who that impersonator is and what he did with the real John McClane. The original Die Hard came out of nowhere to blitz the 1988 summer box office. The fourth installment arrives with a weight of expectations that Atlas would have trouble shouldering and, when the dust settles in September, it's unlikely that Live Free or Die Hard will be one of this year's big success stories.

I'm a quasi-only child. With my brother and sister, I've more of a tendency to be semi-maternal.

Verging on schizophrenia, I suppose, if you analyse it carefully. (Natalie Dormer)

I started hiding my paintings in certain ways, like behind panes of glass for example.
