The Mrs and I had night to watch a couple of movies and enjoy some pizza. The movie we watched were in order: London Has Fallen and Spy
London has Fallen Synopsis
Secret Service agent Mike Banning finds himself trapped London in the wake of a terrorist attack; using his inside knowledge, Banning works with MI6 to rescue the President from his kidnappers.
What's that? it sounds familiar? Ahhh...I see what you have done. You have confused London has Fallen with this:
See its totally different; in Olympus has Fallen Secret Service agent (and former presidential guard) Mike Banning finds himself trapped inside the White House in the wake of a terrorist attack; using his inside knowledge, Banning works with national security to rescue the President from his kidnappers. Duh.
After thinking about it I am almost Sure the VP played by Morgan Freeman is working with the Terrorists to gain the Presidency
My opinion: Awful movie, just awful the plot made no sense. believability was out past Pluto and then was downgraded to a dwarf plot. The only interesting part was the Mike Banning character was really stabby...really stabby
Overall the movie had a silly plot, ridiculous physics, nonsense dialogue and giant leaps of logic.
Don't waste your time.
SPY Synopsis
(Full Disclosure I really dislike Paul Feig and Melisa McCarthy movies)
Spy is a movie written and directed by Paul Feig and staring Melisa McCarthy. Paul Feig is best known for directing movies like Bridesmaids, The Heat, and the new Ghostbusters re-boot. Melisa McCarthy is best known for staring in movies like Bridesmaids, The Heat, and the new Ghostbusters re-boot.
First the reason I watched, A lot of people I trust vouched for this movie as a good funny movie. So I gave it a watch. The poster and trailers do not give an accurate feel for what this movie is about. Overall the movie had a silly plot, ridiculous physics, nonsense dialogue and giant leaps of logic.
Give it a watch, you will really enjoy it. It is not Hot Fuzz funny but what is?
So there you go...what's that? You are saying I basically gave the same review for both movie recommended one and shit on the other?
Well one was taking itself really serious couched in the guise of a movie with political overtones. In doing so it made me call bullshit. The other was a comedy a farce it made no bones about it. That's why I can recommend it.
