The Gerard Butler and Aaron Eckhart film came out in and surprised a lot of folks by getting a sequel. It's also interesting to me that the White House is called Olympus but London doesn't get a cool codename… Asgard Has Fallen could have worked. Enjoyed this? Please share on social media!

There is good in America. Our ideals of democracy, freedom, and equality have inspired nations and individuals in every part of the globe. We certainly do not give enough to humanitarian aid, but we give a lot. We don't always put ourselves on the side of peace and justice, but sometimes we do, and we should be proud of those times. I kept telling myself this, somewhat desperately, throughout Antoine Fuqua's new shoot-'em-up, Olympus Has Fallen , which is both a shameless exploration of the worst aspects of the American psyche and, in consequence, one of the most depressing and despicable films I have ever seen. That probably makes the movie sound more interesting than it is. Trust me, there is nothing interesting about it. It is simply Die Hard in the White House. With that synopsis, you could pretty much write the script yourself. On the one hand, it's just another dumb, by-the-numbers action movie. The opening of the narrative works quickly to off a female character, knowing that there's nothing like dropping a dead woman on the screen to provide any males nearby with wounds, motivation, and depth. In this case, though, the males so provided are two: U. Other than the tragedy that unites them and a supposedly irresistible regular guy machismo, neither of them has any particular character to speak of. Once we have established the transcendental rectitude and sympathy of the most powerful man on earth, we can get down to hating the foreigners.

There are very few films in the past decade not named John Wick to generate a sequel, let alone, multiple ones. Both actors felt it made their performances better. The entire first floor was recreated for shooting down in Louisiana. The entire top of the building and everything around it was done with CGI so they could add in the effects of explosions and everything else that happened to the place. They had a cab mock-up of a chopper so they could film actors inside it and did the rest of the scenes using CGI. In fact, all of the aerial scenes are done using CGI.

No mans sky ships

It makes no sense for the Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff to have a nuclear missile self-destruct code. As the hooded and chained hostages walk towards the chopper, the sniper Hercules Six tries to figure out if the president is among them. Enjoyed this? Kang uses the term "Sea of Japan". A24 is teaming up with IMAX to bring three of its most beloved films to the format for some special screenings this spring. With that synopsis, you could pretty much write the script yourself. Not only do they fly through the air in a completely unnatural manner - they're quite obviously on wires - but two of the three men bounce upwards, towards the end of their fall, without ever touching the floor. The directors of Abigail talk about how they wanted the teeth designed to make the titular character feel like an "apex predator. There are stupid bureaucrats who won't listen to our hero and waste lives needlessly. The intruding Gunship shoots down both planes sent to intercept it. Protocol dictates that he should be met by a member of the President's cabinet. That probably makes the movie sound more interesting than it is. Once we have established the transcendental rectitude and sympathy of the most powerful man on earth, we can get down to hating the foreigners.

We have an exclusive clip from upcoming horror film Bag Of Lies for you today. Surely the US military would storm the White House, no matter what theory anyone had. But whatever. And so we slog on. The directors of Abigail talk about how they wanted the teeth designed to make the titular character feel like an "apex predator. With Supergirl starting to fire up production on season 4, it seemed like a good time to post five things we'd like to see in the new year. Near the beginning of the movie, in the Presidential Limousine, the First Lady's seatbelt is on, then off, then on again. As the hooded and chained hostages walk towards the chopper, the sniper Hercules Six tries to figure out if the president is among them. There's no Zero Dark Thirty shilly-shallying here, no oh-water-boarding-is-just-enhanced-interrogation, or does-torture-work-or-doesn't-it. It is inconceivable that anyone trying to be covert would do something guaranteed to draw attention. It's too fun not to. He consciously chooses to save the president's life and allow nuclear war.
