White House Down Bombs

I admit it. I wanted to see White House Down. I'm not a guy who makes it a habit to see Channing Tatum movies, but I needed a good action flick, and after seeing the million ads during the NBA playoffs, decided to go see it. I understand how it got an A- on Cinemascore and I liked it. The public did not though as it bombed. It bombed huge. Like Battleship bombing. Yeah, remember that one? And that had Rihanna in it. This one had Channing Tatum and an Academy Award winner in Jamie Foxx. The problem is that the marketing people couldn't decide how to market it and they should have just tried to show it as a thriller and not try and market it as a buddy cop movie. The second one of the dual movies also always loses. Gerard Butler just did this movie and just like the summer of the earth getting blown up by an asteroid while volcanoes rained down their lava on LA, when you have two of the same movie, one gets killed, even it is the better of the two.
