White House Down
With Wit, Reviewed By Kimmo Mustonenen
Hollywood has hit me in my surprise place.
How is this possible?
I have large Hollywood knowledge – it cannot sneak up on myself.
But it did.
“Olympus Has Fallen Over” was released to us in March. It is June and the remake is already out!
Surprise!!!
A movie film that made $93 million is for to be a new movie costing $150 million in making.
Hollywood is smart.
“White Houses Downer” jumped from Roland Emmerich’s head and onto the screen with a splatter.
Bummer to me? Sure – but at least I didn’t have to review “The Heat” – flaming pain death would be better than that.
Or a kick to the ball sack.
Plot? Sure.
“White Houses Downer” is another “Die Hard” in the White House.
Django (Jamie Foxx) is as President Obama. He is for the quipping and is cool. Mike the Magician (Channing Tatum) is John McClane, with shoes.
There is a kid stuffed with cute. Hans Gruber (Who Cares) is running wild after falling from Nakatomi Plaza. Argyle (Nicolas Wright) has with a promotion now tours for the White House (not a downer, nor falling over) and is somehow whiter.
Maggie Gyllenhall looks more for the weird than ever (impossible! Yet true… would still do her if drunk).
Now (drums roll with excitement) – summer action movie roll-call… BEGIN!
CGI explosions: Here, sir!
CGI buildings falling down: Here, sir!
CGI car chases: Here, sir!
CGI aircraft: Here, sir!
Two dimensional characters: Here, sir!
Interesting thought inducing story:
Oh, shit.
Not here.
Ever.
Damn.
Where have you gone, Steven Seagal? You were never “just the cook.” Your “Die Hard” was better than this “Die Hard.” And on a boat.
And Magic Mike – why? Lucky for you there is more clothes than the last movie where you wear a mere banana hammock.
Terrorists could easily have defeated you in your budgie smugglers.
You have the muscles for wearing the nut huggers, but when defeating bad guys, the packed lunch is not to be out front.
Good job Magic Mike.
So… my thumbs know not what they have to do. I stayed awake. Is that good?
Maybe there is a yes – but the movie had so much loud ka-bang that not even the dead could stay asleep.
My butt did not hurt. But, again, the ka-bang made my seat into magic fingers that caressed my gluteus nicely with love.
I still had yearnings for the sweet, sweet smoke (I’m for the cutting down of it – to many munchies making me Mr. Fat Finn) but not so much that I cried for “White Houses Downer” to end.
See it if you missed “Olympus Has Fallen Over.”
Or have so much time for wasting that your life is a worthless pile. Then see the thing. That is all.

P.S. “Under the Dome” is the shit. A cow was cut in to two pieces. There was teenager sexing, plane explosions and death. How to be perfection? Acting lessons. And maybe Malin Akerman’s little sister. She is candy in my eye. Make it so, CBS. Now.
