Olympus

On the weekend we went to see a film called Olympus has Fallen. It was about a group of nasty terrorist types who took over the White House leaving a disgraced former secret service dude to save the day singlehandedly. Honest. We didn’t make it to the end, but we can imagine what happened plenty well enough. Amazingly, we were among very few people who bailed. Credit goes to those who stuck it out for the entirety of this turkey. For those who like to watch stuff get blown up and people killed, this movie has plenty of that. It features a really dumb and poorly written script which balances the acting, which also stunk. In fact, everything about this one stunk. Even Morgan Freeman stunk.

    You know it’s bad when not even Morgan Feeman’s voice can pull it out of the garbage. I’ve been warned!

    Thanks for the heads-up. I probably won’t bother going to see this one after all. I might go to the cinema 4 times a year, so it would be a shame to waste one of those rare trips on a lemon.

    LOL! Mom and I went to see this a little while ago. We thought it was cheesy and I think I commented on FB about not giving North Korea any more ideas. The acting certainly did stink but for us it was an ok escape for a lazy not quite spring afternoon.

      The Croods
      This prehistoric comedy adventure follows a family as they embark on the journey of a lifetime when the cave that has always shielded them from danger is destroyed.
