Few of us know that "Olympus" is the Secret Service code for White House. Nevertheless it reveals the base of the plot of Antoine Fuqua's Olympus Has Fallen, the movie about a terrorist attack on most significant government building of America. As terrorists secured their mission and kidnap the President, National Security Team engages with effort to save his life and avert much bigger disaster. Their success depends of Mike Banning's insider knowledge about how security organized around the President and White House. The problem is that Banning was fired some time ago and now is out of the trust. Also few of us know that the same plot was used in Sony Pictures, who was filming White House Down directed by Roland Emmerich in the same time. In this competition of two quite similar films Antoine Fuqua has some advantage expressed in brilliant actors cast. The main hero Mike Banning is played Gerard Butler. You may know him as George in Playing for Keeps or Frosty Hesson in Chasing Mavericks. Another remarkable movie Gerard Butler starred at is Coriolanus. Some of us may remember 300 where Gerard Butler played King Leonidas. As for President Benjamin Asher, Aaron Eckhart (Rabbit Hole, Love Happens, The Dark Knight) secured this role in 2012. Morgan Freeman also stars in the movie as Speaker Trumbull, a man behind the curtain, who took the power when the President was kidnapped.

The sixth part of the adventures of Harry Potter was filmed by David Yates, who filmed the Order of the Phoenix, too. As before, there were reductions in the source material: the books themselves, as we recall, were getting thicker from volume by volume. But the fascination it has not been affected: the love of suffering young wizards magically contrasts with the overall dark background, where there extreme fear of the meeting with Volan de Mort rules. The comic couple, Ron-Hermione amuses the audience perfectly, while their companions in misfortune, Harry and Ginny honestly work out the necessary romantic part. And yet each new movie about Potter is more horrifying, sad and fantastic than the previous one: all these options are caused by the development of the story and by unlimited technical possibilities of the modern cinema.

I'll be back, he promised in a 1984 sci-fi action movie The Terminator , and we see how California ex-governor keeps his promise: "The Last Stand" features exactly that kind of Arnold Schwarzenegger as we have remembered since the times of The Terminator and Commando. His character Ray Owens is a sheriff in small peaceful town on the USA-Mexican border, reluctantly involved into the last stand of local policemen against the most wanted drug kingpin who just spectacularly escaped from FBI and now heading to the Mexican border in order to slide abroad as soon as possible speeding above 200 Mph on his Corvette ZR1 with a hostage in a tow. But Ray Owens is not just a sheriff, he is the former FBI anti-drug department officer recently retired after some bungled operation (and, what is more important, he is also ex-Terminator as we know). Of course, he could not stand aside, and this is where bloody massacre begins. We'll see Arnold Schwarzenegger with shotgun blowing out enemies brains; we'll see him with monstrous machine gun doing the same, etc. Furthermore, aside of these "special features" we will se definitely brilliant cast of actors: Rodrigo Santoro, Zach Gilford, Genesis Rodriguez, Forest Whitaker, Jaimie Alexander, Eduardo Noriega, Luis Guzmán, Johnny Knoxville – an exciting list, isn't it? However the most serious thing you need to know that this movie is the first American action film directed by Kim Ji-woon, a talented Korean cinematographer, worldwide known for his masterpieces: "The Good, the Bad, the Weird", "A Bittersweet Life" and "I Saw the Devil."

James "Jim" (Patrick) Caviezel, Jr. adequately coped with the important mission, proving that may look quite organically in the struggles and, most importantly, clearly demonstrate the seasoned, indomitable will, indeed befitting the leader of the inhabitants of northern lands. In practice the Outlander turn to be Alien or Foreigner, arranging a highly desirable and even necessary earthquake for the creators of action packed movies who amicably believed in their inability to create something original, to surpass the existing standards of entertainment. Just as Old Norse language sounded firstly, adventure of the film was enriched by the fresh, young and hot blooded action. Howard McCain does not destroy the traditions he even fills it with vivifying force.

While it's difficult to imagine Conan without Arnold Schwarzenegger this movie lives up to the reputation of the earlier Conan films. Plenty of action, especially after Conan's father is murdered and the village has been destroyed. Conan becomes a thief and a pirate as he sets out to become a magnificent warrior and is on the trail of the evil Khalar Zym, the person responsible for his tribe's village being destroyed and the death of his father.Conan the Barbarian becomes one because of the misery in his past and as he travels about he encounters women who want him along with plenty of adventures, monsters, and witches. Jason Momoa (Ronon Dex of Stargate: Atlantis) is Conan in this updated version of Conan the Barbarian directed by Marcus Nispel (director of Friday the 13th (2009) and Pathfinder)."The 3D aspect enhances the action scenes and there are plenty of them throughout this exciting sword and sorcery film. Cast includes Rose McGowan (Grindhouse, The Black Dahlia), Stephen Lang (Avatar), Ron Perlman of television's Beauty and the Beast, and Rachel Nichols (Criminal Minds)."

In this continuation of the Hobbit Trilogy (proceeded by The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in 2012, and concluded by The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies in 2014), Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) and the dwarves (led by Thorin Oakenshield II, played by Richard Armitage) continue on their quest to reclaim their homeland from the dread dragon Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch), who has taken up residence in the Lonely Mountain. Meanwhile, Gandalf the Grey (Sir Ian McKellen) investigates the ruins of Dol Guldur, where a growing evil stirs. This film features a faster pacing than the previous installment, and bridges the events between the first and third movies in the fantasy trilogy based on J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved classics. Giant spiders, beautiful wood elves and evil orcs wait in this epic film, along with politics, intrigue, and even a dash of romance.
