I suppose I could just copy and paste my review of “Olympus Has Fallen” from two months ago and it would suffice to fill this space as well as describe the latest installment of another film about an attack upon the residence of the President of the United States. I could, but there are certainly…
You’d think they could have at least come up with better name for it. I’m talking about Sony Pictures Animation’s Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 for which the first trailer has been made available for viewing.
