"Yippee ki-yay, motherf****r!"
Legendary action movie icon Bruce Willis can currently be seen on the big screen in his fifth go-round as John McClane, the perpetually "wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time," in A Good Day to Die Hard. In his 28-year career as an actor, Willis has starred in more than 60 movies — five last year alone — playing such diverse characters as a time travelling hitman, a deep-sea oil driller (in space), a taxicab driver (in space), a dead child psychologist, an honorable boxer with a killer hook, an assassin named "Mr. Goodkat," a professional gambler named "Dink," and a charming killer named "The Tulip." Some of his movies have become classics, while others...not so much, but they all boast one thing: Willis himself, a bonafide movie star the likes of which are rarely seen in Hollywood anymore.

In a career that spans decades, Willis got his start doing theater in New York before getting his break on the TV show Moonlighting and then moving on to movies. At the age of 57, Willis seems to be busier than ever, carving out new franchises like The Expendables and RED (whose sequel, RED 2 opens later this year), while still appearing in smaller, art-house projects like last year's Moonrise Kingdom.
This week, Bruce Willis returns to the franchise that made it all happen with A Good Day to Die Hard, the fifth installment in Willis' most enduring franchise. This time, Detective John McClane will travel to Russia to meet up with his son (Jai Courtney) in a sequel that is poised to win a long, three-day weekend. But while audiences flock to see the latest chance to see Willis say "yippee-ki-yay," what do we know about Willis' entire career? We've got you covered as long as you have under 8 hours to spare.

For many, it's been a disappointing, downward spiral for director M. Night Shyamalan, who was billed as "the next Spielberg" following his releases of The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. His most recent movie, The Last Airbender, disappointed followers of the popular cartoon and earned a dismal 6 percent rating on RottenTomatoes last summer. The movie went on to nearly sweep the 2010 Razzies, "winning" Worst Director, Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay, Worst Supporting Actor, and even Worst Eye-Gouging Mis-Use of 3-D.
Among those most disappointed with the director are the trio behind M. Night School, a website created to raise $150,000 to send him back to his alma mater, NYU Film School. We talked to Chris Baker to learn more.

Yesterday The American Film Institute unveiled an updated version of its top 100 movies of all time, with Orson Welles's 1941 masterpiece Citizen Kane once again topping the distinguished list.
AFI issued its first top-100 list in 1998 in commemoration of the institute's 100th anniversary. If the updated rankings are any indication, AFI apparently doesn't think much of movies made over the last decade. The new list includes only four films released after the initial rankings were compiled: Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Saving Private Ryan, Titanic and The Sixth Sense.
