Tripled.
Olympus Has Fallen is one of Gerard Butler’s better movies.

I thought it was pretty good. I liked the fighting. However, like all of these types of movies the whole america will rise thing is over done. When that bitch was being dragged and she started saying the pledge of allegiance and damn near stuck a fork in my eye.
Saw Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.
Not too bad. Definitely a step below the 007/Jason Bourne movies. BUT worth the price of admission if you like Spy/Thriller/Action movies. Chris Pine is decent, but the Russian villain is what makes the movie good. The evil “plot” is believable enough to add some realism to the movie as well.
The Burrowers - slow burn horror-western. A posse track a Sioux hunting party who they think are responsible for a recent spate of deaths and disappearances, only to find out they are really pursuing an ancient race of subterranean flesh-eating nasties.
It’s a superior creature feature with a cast of established character actors - Clancy Brown, Doug Hutchison and William Mapother (aka ‘Tom Cruise’s cousin’ -a revelation here) - and talented unknowns.
Robot and Frank - it’s Memento with added robots. Superb.

It appears that way.
The way I see it, if Superman kills Batman, it’s not such a bad thing, because it will be the Ben Affleck version of Batman (not the Christian Bale version).
This news is making this movie suck more and more.
There are only two reasons why they’d cast Jesse Eisenberg:
They are ‘modernizing’ Lex Luthor by making him a slightly douchey, socially maladroit genius billionaire computer hacker who has the monopoly on the world’s technology. Closer to Richard Pryor’s character than classic Luthor.
This is all a terrible misunderstanding: Zack Snyder wanted Bryan Cranston and told one of his underlings to “get Heisenberg”.
There is nothing even slightly dark, evil, or sinister about Eisenberg. They might as well have gotten Jonah Hill.

I think he’s creepy. Just not in a way that scares me unless he’s alone with small children.

Nah - Jonah Hill is pencilled in for Doomsday.
I gave up on this movie as soon as they dusted off a decade-old concept that should’ve stayed in development hell.
Never mind Batfleck. They couldn’t even stick to the original plan and finish up a dedicated Superman trilogy. It’s the lack of a clear direction that worries me.
…
Bad Grandpa. Hilarious when he was in the male strip club running around with nuts hanging down.
Extracted - when an experimental technology for living within another person’s memory malfunctions, a scientist’s consciousness is trapped in the mind of the test subject for four years leaving his body comatose.
The volunteer - a convicted murderer- is the scientist’s only means of contact with the real world and his only hope of escape.
A very well-executed, smart indie sci-fi in the vein of Inception and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Since they’re rehashing old script ideas they may as well cast Jack Black as Green Lantern liked they planned:

Yeah that Heath Ledger guy’s a real douche, WTF is Chris Nolan thinking?
