“WHITE HOUSE DOWN” MOVIE REVIEW. When BRAIN meets BRAWN in this Explosive Political Thriller.

“WHITE HOUSE DOWN” PRESS PREVIEW

“WHITE HOUSE DOWN” is one non-stop action thriller glossed over with all touches of explosive suspense.

Stay braced, because this film will harness you on edge of your seat.

It is surely one of the best flicks to be released this season.

The pacing is nothing short of stupendous, impressive and brilliant.

More.

We watch CHANNING TATUM (John Cale) a D.C. cop whose dream job is to join the Secret Service as he scales and stomps the innards of the White House infested by terrorist killers.

Our hero Cale is making a desperate bid against time to rescue his 11 year-old daughter Emily (JOEY KING) from being exterminated.

Emily is being trapped in the colossal building whilst on a guided tour.

The US President James Sawyer is in danger, and  he is admirably portrayed by JAMIE FOXX.

Will these principal characters escape unscathed?

JAMIE FOXX shines in his role as the US President, but it is CHANNING TATUM with his dare-devil hyperbolic heroics that’s guaranteed to take your breath away.

 The film director is ROLAND EMMERICH, an established filmmaker backed by a strong folio of “die-hard” type blockbusters such as “Independence Day”, “Godzilla” and “2012″.

The plot bears a distant similarity to “Olympus Has Fallen” screened in March this year.

The cast and the plot may be different, but it’s essentially the same political action story: the White House has been seized by an outside force and one hero zooms in to defeat the bad guys, thus saving the President the American Way.

You can’t keep a good man down, can you?

Bless CHANNING TATUM, as he will be joining the grand league of A-list action stars as of now.

Right.

Now let the TRAILER breeze you through this motion picture:

“THE VOW” Movie Review. LOVE means NOT having to say YOU are SORRY.

“THE VOW” PRESS PREVIEW

Trick or treat, THE VOW is positioned as a soulful, nostalgic film.

So go watch it with someone you care about.

It has a potent and moving  brew, and is a definitive classy cocktail of intimate drama.

There’s plenty to like about this film:

it is well-made, well acted and goodlooking with a luring score that’s set to sear your tear ducts.

THE VOW explores both love and pain in their finer moments and is a celebration of love.

It’s aptly directed by MICHAEL SUCSY with emotive acting from RACHEL McADAMS and CHANNING TATUM.

The film may connect well with some people on an emotional or visceral level, so do bring along a packet of tissues.

Love is presented here as a fascinating visual essay.

THE VOW is said to be based on a true life story on Kim and Krickitt Carpenter who are real-life husband and wife.

They met with a severe traffic accident way back in the 1990s.

 Krickitt suffered intense injuries from the crash. And when she regained consciousness, she had no recollections whatever, of dating her husband – much less of being married to him.

Kim then decided to woo his own wife all over again, in a determined effort to win her heart the second time around.

CHANNING TATUM and RACHEL McADAMS take on the roles of the husband and wife respectively.

Love means different things to different people as this film will be.

The young and the lovey dovies will surely appreciate the yearning and the angst portrayed in this bitter-sweet amnesia story about falling in love twice.

The baby boomers may find the “vanilla” plot a tad formulaic and irksome.

Let’s borrow an old famous line from a 1970 classic called LOVE STORY which says: “LOVE MEANS NOT HAVING TO SAY YOU ARE  SORRY.”

Yeah, imagine a cold, lifeless world out there, devoid of romance.

VIVA LA, LOVE!
