As our national security team scrambles to respond, they are forced to rely on Banning’s inside knowledge to help retake the White House, save the President and avert an even bigger crisis. Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) directs an all-star cast featuring Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, Melissa Leo, Ashley Judd and Rick Yune. (c) FilmDistrict

Our Thoughts:
This was a movie we were looking forward too, and it did not disappoint. This movie starts fast and ends faster with great action scenes and a level of uncensored carnage that keep your heart racing throughout. Olympus Has Fallen delivers within its means taking a controversial premise with great on screen performances, and lets be honest who could ever get tired of seeing Morgan Freeman as president. Great on-screen performances by the entire cast takes what could be a bland action movie and turns it into one we declare a must see.

Real Man’s Rating: 7.5/10

Summary:
When veteran 911 operator, Jordan (Halle Berry), takes a life-altering call from a teenage girl (Abigail Breslin) who has just been abducted, she realizes that she must confront a killer from her past in order to
save the girl’s life. (c) Sony

Our Thoughts:
The Call starts of strong and even through the middle keeps you on a fast paced thrill ride. A very entertaining film that will keep you locked in throughout, but the abrupt and nonsense ending end leaves you calling for more. This is a very enjoyable film and one you wont regret seeing, but may leave you scratching your head at the end.

Real Mans Rating: 6.5/10

Summary:
Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have ruled the Las Vegas strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt’s growing ego. But lately the duo’s greatest deception is their public friendship, while secretly they’ve grown to loathe each other. Facing cutthroat competition from guerilla street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose cult following surges with each outrageous stunt, even their show looks stale. But there’s still a chance Burt and Anton can save the act-both onstage and off-if Burt can get back in touch with what made him love magic in the first place.(c) WB

Our Thoughts:
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is far from Incredible. While it delivers some good laughs, it is purely carried by the work of both Steve Carell, and Jim Carrey. This is a movie we recommend if you want some cheap laughs or have nothing better to do, but not something to build your night around.

Real Mans Rating: 6/10
