With Skyfall reaching the critical and commercial success that it did, whoever directs the follow-up …
While my money is still on fairy tales to once again dominate the movie industry, much like what Twilight did for the supernatural romance genre, I’ve got a feeling that storming the White House is going to take a close second in this new celluloid race. The first of two new movies dealing with the Oval office under attack, Olympus …
