When a comet threatens his wife and child — well, let's just say the star doesn't react quite as you'd expect I thought I knew plot twists. I’ve seen The Sixth Sense, The Usual Suspects and every Planet of the Apes movie ever made, including that terrible one by Tim...
Gerard Butler’s excellent end-of-world thriller Greenland will make you sick, in a good way

The Ordinary-Guy Action Movie Lives On, Thanks to Gerard Butler

Gerard Butler’s disaster movie Greenland isn’t what you think it’s going to be
