Michael Douglas is a lawyer in NYC who doesn't like home security systems.
He loves his wife and little daughter, but one weekend when his family goes out
of town he lets his balls get the better of him and he hooks up with a Dee
Snider impersonator. If that wasn't already bad enough it turns out that
she's also completely insane. Whoops. Things quickly turn from bad
to holy fucking shit bad when this psycho decides show him the true meaning of
"not gonna take it".
I've never seen FATAL ATTRACTION before and I was kinda shocked at how shocking
his film was. I can only imagine that back in 1987 it had people tripping
out! Things start out innocently enough and I thought Douglas was an idiot
for hooking up with Close. I would have felt a little more sympathy for
him if he'd been drunk or something, but whatever, he does what he does thinking
that both parties involved are responsible adults....but ohhhhh no this chick
starts stalking him the very next morning!
Lackluster nudity, 80's fashions, strong direction, cute dog, cute rabbit, NYC
street scenes, good pace, I really enjoyed FATAL ATTRACTION. The story is
pretty much timeless. Even nearly 30 years later this shit still happens
everyday. Recommended.

OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN (2013)
Terrorists attack the White House, blow up a bunch of shit, kill a fuck ton of people and threaten to kill the President. Now the only guy who can save the day is Secret Service dude Gerard Butler.
As far as action movies go, I enjoyed OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN. The action was pretty much non-stop and a lot of the kills had a certain FPS feel to them. The stuff I didn't care for was the patriotic music, the inspiring speeches, the CGI looked kinda cheap at times and that Secretary of Defense character was really annoying.
Blood, high body count, cussing, fire, various vehicles, annoying kid, zero tits, predictable story. Would I ever voluntarily watch it again? Probably, it'd be some good mindless fun to have on in the background while doing laundry.
Part 2 - London Has Fallen (2016)
Part 3 - Angel Has Fallen (2019)
