I watched Olympus Has Fallen on Netflix, it's a rip off of Die Hard. It really is Die Hard in the White House without Bruce Willis.

Also, it didn't make any sense, some North Koreans seize the white house and take the president and other key members of government hostage. Their demands and for the US to withdraw from the Korean DMZ and pull back one of the fleets we have in the region.

The Speaker of the House (Morgan Freeman) takes command and is prepared to give into these demands in exchange for the Presidents life. This would never happen in real life. We wouldn't allow South Korea to be overrun just to save the lives of a handful of politicians, even if one of them is the President.

The movie has some decent action, but it's nothing you haven't seen before. I gave it a 4/10 on imdb.

Olympus Down sucked. It was so terrible. Action movie at a snails pace. The one with Channing Tatum was my favorite movie of last summer. Where they took every summer blockbuster cliche and threw it right in your face.

The grand Budapest hotel, Snowpiercer, Under the skin, Blue ruin, Joe, Like father like son, Le passe, Omar, Only lovers left alive
Thanks, I downloaded Blue ruin, like father like son, le passe and Omar. I already know the first one (was very close to seeing it in cinema months ago), cant find torrent of snowpiercer, and under the skin and only lovers left alive I checked up and they sound like they would bore me to absolute tears.
