Ok folks, we have a veritable smorgasbord of badassness. Evil McNasties and one lone noble man standing up for Goodness and the American Way.
John McClane has become an American Icon. Maybe not as big as Rocky (OK, not even close to Rocky), but certainly a figure that is engrained into the minds of 30somthings everywhere.
This collection’s release has been timed to coincide with the theatrical release of the fourth installment in Die Hard series.
Here is your chance to own all things Die Hard…at least until they release a box set with all FOUR films (Don’t worry, that is at least a year away).

Based on the character from the novels of British novelist Jonathon Gash, this BBC series is about Lovejoy (no first name) an antiques divvy (one that has a special sixth sense for detecting fake antiques) who is both charming and a tad scruffy. The series went for 6 years. It is about damn time Lovejoy comes to DVD.
