London Has Fallen
After about two hundred billion cliché lines, I stopped watching the trailer.
In 2013 there were two movies about the White House being attacked: "Olympus Has Fallen" in the spring, and "White House Down" in the summer. Even though White House Down was better, Olympus Has Fallen pre-empted its success and was the more successful of the two. It was about Gerard Butler as a secret service agent protecting the President played by Aaron Eckhart.
In London Has Fallen, there is a symposium of world leaders in England and guess what! It's attacked! It's attacked by (judging from the trailer) the most one-dimensional and vague terrorist character in cinematic history. This man - complete with a scary-sounding foreign name - is upset with western culture and wants to kill all the world leaders. The trailer didn't say, but I suspect his motivation is that he is just angry that his character is so horribly simplistic.
But, hey, maybe it'll actually be good!
London Has Fallen is rated R for strong violence and aberrant clichés throughout. Just kidding. It's rated R for strong violence and language throughout.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
So, uh, a journalist goes to the middle east. And, it's . . . uh . . . funny and stuff? Basically it's Tina Fey doing her impression of Bill Murray in last year's "Rock The Kasbah".
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot doesn't really look that funny, frankly. Just like Rock The Kasbah.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is rated R for pervasive language, some sexual content, drug use and violent war images.
Zootopia
Not to be confused with "The Secret Life of Pets", which comes out later this year.
Zootopia is a world imagined without people. In this world animals are just like people, and the world is built for them. The story revolves around a rabbit police officer and a fox she works with to solve some mystery about animals going rabid or something.
Watch out for this one, because it's the same people that made Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen, and Big Hero 6. I think it's very promising!
Zootopia is rated PG for some thematic elements, rude humor and action.
Which one will you see?
Big Shot Critic
This is the idea I need for my research paper writing! I was searching for something like that, but it wasn't the thing I need. Thank you http://awriter.org/customwritingscom/ very much for this blog and posting
