Default Looks like Attacking The White house is hot in Hollywood

First came Olympus has Fallen. Now there is "White House down"

What will be next?

Seems like it's in to make movies were The white House is under attack.

Haven't seen none of them yet. So I can't say if they are worth the money

I'll have to wait until they come on Blue-Ray.

From what I hear Olympus has Fallen is a steaming load of don't-watch-this.

White House Down is directed by Roland Emmerich, so it will do exactly what it says on the tin and probably quite well. Just don't go in expecting Doctor Zhivago.

Didn't Jack Bauer already put down one attack on the White House? It must be time to call him in again...

Had forgot all about our jack Bauer. However his job was made in 24 hour/episode.

In these two films the hero(es) did the job in, well I don't know how long these movies are.

I would make some crass joke, but odds are with my luck, i'd have a federal swat team in my living room shortly thereafter.

I remember during the movie "Independence Day, when the White House was blown up by the aliens, the whole theater erupted in cheers.

White House Down was supposed to be a comedy movie IIRC.

Olympus Has Fallen was a very good movie I think. It was worth renting.

Don't care how many times movies whack the White House.
Give credit where credit is due.

Olympus has Fallen is a steaming pile of "die hard knock off"

It is Die hard in the white house. I was waiting for Gerard to say " Yippy Ky- yay mother effer"


Soooooooooo Original.

I love Gerard Butler, it hurt me to see him in this steaming pile of hot garbage.

Haven't seen them, but "White House Down" is a pretty stupid title.

I seem to remember some one mention Olympus has fallen in an another thread. I can't remember which I do however recall his negative response about this movie.

It was something like it couldn't be done etc etc.

When you watch a movie like this one or like Battleships then just watch it as you were totally unknown to some of the facts known to you.

I started a thread killing this movie, and was kinda taken to task by the community in it.

I maintain my position, this movie is a pile of horse manure.

One jet patrolling DC, thats it? Post 9-11 Really? *spit*
