Olympus Has Fallen
Basically Die Hard in the White House. I actually enjoyed this a lot, Gerard the Butler I find a very watchable actor in whatever he does. There's nothing here that will blow your mind and some of the plot details are frankly daft but it's still a decent actioner.
Kick Ass 2
I loved the first one and this isn't far behind. In fact in some ways this sequel improves on its predecessor. I felt as though this one wasn't trying as hard to be offensive, it has a steadier more relaxed tone. It does admittedly have a somewhat saggy middle section but the last forty minutes or so makes up for it. Here's hoping a third instalment happens.
