It's the 25th anniversary of Last Action Hero.

Don't have a link for you, sorry.

I liked the movie. Not a lot. But it was fun and worth the half-price matinee ticket.

This was my favorite bit....(John Practice was played by by F. Murray Abraham who played Salieri in Amadeus.)

Jack Slater: [John Practice has just betrayed Slater] Danny told me not to trust you. He said you killed Mozart.

John Practice: Mo- who?

Jack Slater: -zart.

John Practice: [thinks for a bit, shrugs] You know, I kill a lot of people, I can't remember half of them.

There were a lot of great bits in the movie but they didn't add up to a good flick. it was just okay. It could have been so much more.

I think it's fun, mostly because it doesn't take itself too seriously. Kickin' soundtrack, too.

The one part I remember distinctly is that Arnie's character had a closet full of the same shirts, pants, and boots - his action hero uniform.
