Movie Review

 
MOVIE PROFILE:
London Has Fallen
Released: 4 March 2016
Rated R for Extreme Violence, Language Throughout 
Running time: 99 minutes (1h 39m)
Genre: Crime Drama/Action/Thriller

SYNOPSIS:
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is dead and his funeral is being planned. Nearly 200 world leaders and protection teams are attending. Upon the arrival of President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) of the United States at St. Paul's Cathedral, all hell breaks loose in London. Multiple terrorist attacks occur without warning. London Bridge blows, rogue police and impersonating insurgents shell St. Paul's Cathedral and attempt to kill Asher. It's up to Secret Service Agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) to save the President. As they attempt their escape, Marine One is shot down along with Marine Two and Three. Will they make it out of London and back home? Watch and find out.

And now for the good part, the review. I'm handing this one 10/10 and no, I'm not going to just show up and utter the words, "it's my favorite movie" and give no justifiable reason. It is my favorite movie but I WILL give a justifiable reason. In fact, I'll give plenty. So, I love crime movies, action movies, and comedies. This has the slightest hint of comedy in it but that's all that's needed, it's the perfect amount. But, it's so insanely suspenseful that you'll stay on your couch or chair (Not going to assume what you are sitting in) whether or not you even understand the content. I must admit that the middle of the movie gets a little boring. It's night and Banning and Asher are lost in London and seek help from MI6 and then terrorists find them and attempt an attack. There's a lot of waiting involved and I don't like waiting. I hope they didn't create that scene just to lengthen the movie because if they did, that's just not a good reason to have dine that. If they wanted a longer movie, then I think they should have designed it as a long movie and brought up the length to 2 hours or whereabouts. That is the only blemish I see in this movie and the rest of it and the level of suspense it has makes up for all of it. 10/10 that's final.

Christmas List

So, Christmas is in 15 days from the time I wrote this post and obviously I want things, many things because I'm a greedy boy, just kidding, I'm not. I just want things. I've got a long list so obviously I'm not putting all 19 things on here. I'll put more like 7-10 of them if that's all good. I'll try to keep my explanations entertaining as I tend to drag my writing on and on as I'm doing now. Shutting up. 1. Air Jordan XXXII Bred These are the highest quality of basketball shoes this year and the whopping $185 price tag shows it. The core of the shoe is made of carbon fibre and the shoe is made out of Nike's Flyknit material. This shoe has the perfect amount of traction and it's very comfortable and easy to play in. I use two pairs of shoes for basketball at school, one for practice and one for games. These will be for games obviously and that's why I need the highest quality of shoes. I recommend getting a half size higher as these shoe

NLCS Game 3: Dodgers v Cubs, 17 October 2017

Today is Game 3 of the National League Championship Series. The Dodgers, as you know, lead the series 2-0. They took game 2 on the Justin Turner walk-off 3-run home run in the bottom of the 9th on Sunday in Los Angeles. Today, the series moves to Chicago for three games on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Carl Edwards, Jr, a reliever for the Cubs said, "It's always tough to lose. (But) we'll come back. Before you know it, the series is going to be tied." ~Courtesy of the Trib (Chicago Tribune)~ The Cubs are home tonight and they have a reputation this postseason of low scoring games at Wrigley. Tonight the Cubs will win from home-field advantage. My prediction Cubs 3, Dodgers 1. They'll cut the deficit in half tonight.
