I am NOT a critic. I'm merely an observer. (Books, movies, plays, musicals etc.)

Not everyone was happy with his being treated by a hero.  Of course, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) had to investigate and thankfully, it was proven that he and his Co-Pilot, Jeffrey Skiles, wer...

I call the past couple of weeks a GERARD BUTLER FESTIVAL because a couple of his movies are playing in cinemas all over. After the death of the British prime minister, the world's most powerful leaders gather in London to pay their respects. Without warning, terrorists unleash a devastating attack that leaves the city in chaos and ruins. Secret Service agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) springs into action to bring U.S. President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) to safety. When Asher falls into the hands of the sinister organization, it's up to Banning to save his commander in chief from a horrible fate.- WWW Another movie that would take you to the edge of your seat.   This second installment is definitely more nail-biting, thrilling and all those other similar terms that describe an exciting movie.  If you "hate" the US of A and think that as a people they are arrogant, then don't watch this, because you would hate them even more, but if you don't ...

Rated R for Violence Director: Philipp Stölzl Writer: Arash Amel Stars: Aaron Eckhart , Nick Alachiotis , Liana Liberato , Yassine Fadel , Olga Kurylenko , Garrick Hagon and David Bark-Jones Liana Liberato has been appearing in a lot of psychologically damaging roles in the past and her role as Amy Logan is the mildest, in my opinion, among those types of roles. She is a very good actor and I don't know how she could play everything so convincingly at a very young age.  She was sixteen when she filmed this with Aaron Eckhart and almost seventeen when this was released.   The script that the critics lambasted as unoriginal and a hodgepodge threadbare of motifs, is actually pretty exciting.  Yes, yes, I agree, the story is somewhat old,  but hey.  In fashion, old styles become new trends with a little rehashing.  The Man of Steel has been rebooted several times and locally, Darna and Dyesebel have multiple personalities. Copycat...

The Taste of Life ;-) When I was much younger I wanted to be a chef, but with my temperament, I don't think I would last inside an industrial, a hotel or a restaurant kitchen.  The cooks would probably throw rotten tomatoes at me or spoiled food.  I also realized, that even if I had training in baking and culinary arts, I couldn't repeat a recipe.  Maybe I could produce something similar that sometimes is better, but sometimes is worse. Haha! While I was watching this, I imagined myself as Kate(Zeta-Jones), God forbid,  something happens to rest of my family and I'm left with my nephew, I guess my case would be different.  Wait, I don't even want to think about it so why am I verbalizing  it? I also missed our mini-restaurant sorta kinda chain.  Sigh.  OK, I won't talk about it.  It just hurts too much.  I'm just happy I met a lot of people through that business of ours. Aaron Eckhart is so charismatic here.  I'm ...

Instead of saying anything negative(because there are a lot), I will just mention the good points. OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN: 1. It has Gerard Butler as Mike Banning, the HERO. Gerard is one of my Hollywood crushes...sigh 2. Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart, Dylan Mc Dermott, Angela Bassett and Finley Jacobsen were superb! 3. Nothing beats the " original " WHITE HOUSE DOWN: 1. The story is very believable and has integration.  The actors were ALL great. 2. I didn't "see that coming" 3. Channing Tatum is hot!  4. Joey King is a darling 5. James Woods, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Richard Jenkins are so convincing.  6. Jamie Foxx is very charming. 7. I like the fact that the President has more action scenes here Lesson: Never look down on flag twirlers ;-) Similarities: 1. Target: White House/President of the United States of America 2. Inside Job 3. Hierarchy :p 4. Codes 5. Nerds 6. Terrorists Differences: 1. Perpetrators and purpose/mission 2. ...
