Olympus Has Fallen - Review

Saw a screening of Olympus Has Fallen tonight.  Thanks to my weak-ass camera phone, my picture of our surprise guest turned out blurry.... Anyways, GERARD BUTLER was there to introduce the film, and he sat 2 rows behind me to watch it through as well!

NOTE: If you have screening tickets and you're waiting on line and someone comes out to say there are no spots available, there's a chance you won't get in...STAY IN LINE!  Wait it out, because you never know what may happen.  In this case, I was about #20 in line when the 1st warning announcement was made, and I moved up to #3 after they let more people in and made the 2nd warning announcement.  Then the line had become so short due to people leaving that they just let everyone else in.  HA!  It was cold as hell waiting in line but in the end, it was all worth it.  Lesson learned, people... it ain't over til the fat lady sings.  To some of the beautiful ladies behind me, sorry, but you could've seen Gerard Butler... =/

The movie was enjoyable, very action-packed, somewhat predictable, generic plot, but still fun.  It touches on the whole United States-North Korea conflict going on and had an Air Force One feel to it.  I'm going to start writing fuller reviews soon, but I'll leave this one short for now.  There are several funny moments throughout, but the funniest for me was the "hashtag" moment.  That's all I will spoil for now, but I would recommend this if you're looking to sit back, relax and enjoy an action thriller that has the feel of a summer blockbuster flick.

6/10

UPDATE: I forgot, before the screening they were giving out Olympus Has Fallen mini-posters, and afterwards, they gave out this Olympus Has Fallen pin.

New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat, Sunday, March 3, 2013

A poor attempt at panoramic photo... Welcome to Madison Square Garden!

New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat, Sunday, March 3, 2013.  We should've had this one... We had a 16 point lead after the 1st half.  Then LeBron James came out strong in the 3rd and next thing you know, we're tied.  We didn't hustle as much as we did in the 1st half defensively, and we were getting sloppy.

All in all, as a fan of basketball, this was an entertaining game.  It was a great experience watching arguably the best player in the league right now in LeBron James in an NBA basketball game, and it was icing on the cake to see 3 LeBron alley-oops and the LeBron James vintage-ball-to-the-side-dunk (which I took a nice mid-air photo of, see below), even though it sealed the win for them.  As a fan of the Knicks, very disappointed.  We should be 3-0 against the Heat.

They also gave free Knicks t-shirts to everyone, size XL, sponsored by Time Warner Cable:
 

Celebrity Row included one of the LMFAO guys, tennis players Victoria Azarenka and Juan Martin Del Potro, singer Phil Collins, actor Paul Rudd, director & long-time Knicks fan Spike Lee, New York Giants Michael Strahan and Victor Cruz, comedian JB Smoove, and more (see Celebrity Row photo down below).

I'm so excited now, because this happened last night....



My goal of experiencing an Undertaker Wrestlemania entrance will be met!
I had received an ominous text before the show that read, "I have risen."  But now it's official...
