Gerard Butlers's ‘London Has Fallen’ Seems Not As Success As Its Predecessor

Gerard Butler's newest movie ''London Has Fallen'' opened in theatres all across the US on Mar.4, 2016. Butler's another recent movie ''Gods of Egypt'' is loved by the fans.


The numbers mentioned that it has already collected $39.8 million in the box office. However, the critics did not give a good rating to this movie. Directed by Babak Najafi, this movie was initially premiered in Hollywood on Mar. 1. The promotion of this movie took a different turn when Freeman lent his voice to the GPS App Waze.

IMDb rated the movie at 6.4/10, however rotten tomatoes and metacritic's scores were not good. YouTube has the trailer uploaded. Vox did a comprehensive story which had the heading ''London Has Fallen is a step-by-step guide to how not to make an action movie.'' The original movie ''Olympus Has Fallen'' was a huge success; however it seems that its predecessor will fall flat in the box-office.

As per the Guardian, the movie is doing well in the UK. UK opening collection of £3.23m from 513 cinemas was a good sum. Gerard Butler's role as Mike Banning was appreciated by the fans. This presidential bodyguard's acting prowess coupled with Freeman's voice made it a popular choice in the UK movie goer's arena.

Butler, the Scottish actor too pulled the crowd in his home ground. This action packed drama which involved terrorist attacks is expected to pull more crowds in the coming weeks. Set in the backdrop of terrorist attacks, the contemporary world situation is depicted clearly in this movie. Movieinsider gave the plot in details.

Butler did many blockbuster films like ''Tale of the Mummy,'' ''Dracula 2000,'' ''P.S. I Love You,'' ''How to Train Your Dragon,'' ''Olympus Has Fallen,'' ''Gods of Egypt'' etc. His awards list might not be very long, however, his fan base is quite huge. ''Gods of Egypt'' was released on Feb. 26, 2016 in the US and a day before in Australia. It has collected $73.1 million so far (as per boxoffice mojo) in the box offices.

In the personal front, the ''One More Kiss'' famed actor did not reveal anything about the plans of marrying girlfriend Morgan Brown. His upcoming movie ''The Headhunter's Calling'' is expected to be released sometime in 2016.

Nigerian army Claims the Second Rescue of Chibok Girl

A second schoolgirl that was seized in the Nigerian town of Chibok has been found, the army says. But a spokesman for the Chibok girls' parents has cast doubt on the claims, saying that the girl's name is not on the families' list of those missing. An army spokesman said Serah Luka was among a group of 97 women and children rescued by troops in the north-east. Islamist militant group Boko Haram has abducted thousands of other girls in recent years, rights groups estimate. This comes two days after the rescue of the first Chibok girl, Amina Ali Nkeki. The army has previously given misleading statements about the rescue of the Chibok girls - in its initial statement after Ms Nkeki was found, it used a wrong name. In all, 218 girls remain missing after their abduction by the Boko Haram Islamist group from Chibok secondary school in north-eastern Nigeria in 2014. Ms Nkeki told a Chibok community leader that six of the kidnapped girls had died, but...

Obama administration Issues Transgender Access to School Bathrooms

The issue of directing public schools to allow transgender students to use bathrooms matching their gender identity is being discussed by the Obama administration on Friday. A joint letter from the Departments of Education and Justice will go out to schools on Friday with guidelines to ensure that "transgender students enjoy a supportive and nondiscriminatory school environment," the Obama administration said on Thursday. The announcement comes amid heated debate over transgender rights in schools and public life, which includes a legal standoff between the administration and North Carolina over its controversial House Bill 2. The guidance goes beyond the bathroom issue, touching upon privacy rights, education records and sex-segregated athletics, all but guaranteeing transgender students the right to identify in school as they choose. "There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on ...

Will Ferrell and His Bird Collectian As "The Birds are for God"

An acclaimed actor and comedic genius like Will Ferrell is incredibly pleased to spend some valued time with his incredibly expensive bird collection, according to his good friend Adam McKay. McKay, who has directed Ferrell in films like "Anchorman" and "Step Brothers," told HuffPost Live on Monday that Ferrell's home is brimming with birds of all kinds, and Ferrell himself is a bit of a bird whisperer. "He has giant cages on his property filled with different tropical birds, and these are the kind of birds that will bite you, that you have to be careful with, but when it's him, they just fly right to his arm," McKay said. "Often times if you're at his house ... he has, like, a cockatiel on his shoulder for long stretches." An affinity for birds isn't exactly surprising, but what will shock you is the enormous monetary value of Ferrell's flock. "He had to have his bird collection insured, and I think it's wor...
