White House Down - Movie Review

Roland Emmerich seems determined to blow up every single thing he comes across. White House Down continues the director's legacy of destruction in cinema that includes Independence Day, 2012, and Universal Soldier. This time around he brings along Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Joey King, and Jason Clarke for a ride that even the famous Oval Office will not be able to withstand.

Straw Dogs (2011) - Movie Review

First, let me just say that I have not seen the original version of this film from 1971 which stars Dustin Hoffman and Susan George so I am not able to offer any comparison between the two. That being said I still had a pretty good idea of how the movie would play out based on the trailer which can be viewed at the end of this review. This is a fairly straightforward tale that does have some interesting twists and turns, but could it live up to the promise of being the intensely violent thrill ride we see touched on in the trailer?
