And what says summer better than a rousing beach comedy?

It wasn't only interest in getting back in the water that turned me on to Hot Water.

Over the last year, I've come into a wealth of knowledge about jet skis, yet I've never been aboard. It turns out that Hot Water provides plenty of simulated jetski action. But that's not all.

To mark today’s release of A Good Day to Die Hard on DigitalHD™, DVD and Blu-ray, we got to attend a rather fabulous event at Mercedes Benz World at Brooklands race circuit near Weybridge experiencing just what John McClane would have gone through while making the movie.

Throughout the course of the day, we were guided by Bruce Willis’ stunt double (Larry Rippenkoeger) who was responsible for most of the stunts that you saw John McClane perform in the movie. He guided us through the use of the ‘pod’ that you may well have seen on DVD / Blu-ray extras in the past for car stunt movies.
