OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN: episode 6 of the GERRYSTORM podcast

26th April 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

This time I’m discussing the first movie outing of disgraced Secret Service agent Mike Banning, a man who attracts president-related disasters like I attract dog hair from my cream retriever when I’ve just put on new black trousers for a job interview.  He’s on a boring desk job at the US Treasury (Mike, not my… OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN: episode 6 of the GERRYSTORM podcast Read More

1st January 2020 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I’ll be making that joke all year so you’d better get used to it. But what a year it’s been! (It’s actually the law that all annual round-up articles start like that so don’t email me.)

Angel Has Fallen: interviews!

25th August 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

When I first watched Gerard Butler’s interview (below), I kept hearing all these strange noises, necessitating frequent pausing on my part to look accusingly at the dog and wonder if I was going to need to open a window. It turns out he’s actually sitting in the world’s creakiest chair (Gerry, not my dog). Don’t… Angel Has Fallen: interviews! Read More

Gerard Butler’s ‘Fallen’ Oeuvre

24th August 2019 by Sarah 2 Comments

Less a deep dive, and more – considering the less than philosophical subtexts to the three Has Fallen movies – a shallow bellyflop, it’s time to look back at Butler’s battles as Mike Banning. You can see on this site I refer to myself as a Gerard Butler apologist, and I make no apologies for… Gerard Butler’s ‘Fallen’ Oeuvre Read More

American movie presidents can only make us wistful nowadays, and in Angel Has Fallen the White House is graced by Morgan Freeman himself, as President Allan Trumbull. Yes there is a god, probably also played by Morgan Freeman. Trumbull has been promoted since London Has Fallen, Mike Banning’s last batshit outing, when taking on hundreds… Angel Has Fallen Read More
