CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard The United States presidential line of succession, while not the most exciting thing we learned in civics class in high school, is a fundamental part of the federal government that ensures that someone is always in charge. This has been used as a plot device time and time again in various movies and TV shows and is usually treated as a serious matter. There are times, however, like in XXX: State of the Union where Ice Cubeâs character must thwart a plan by a nefarious and power-hungry government official to take out the president and everyone else in front of him to become the leader of the free world.
Now streaming on: It's not so much that the Earth is destroyed, but that it's done so thoroughly. "2012," the mother of all disaster movies (and the father, and the extended family) spends half an hour on ominous set-up scenes (scientists warn, strange events occur, prophets rant and of course a family is introduced) and then unleashes two hours of cataclysmic special events hammering the Earth relentlessly. This is fun. "2012" delivers what it promises, and since no sentient being will buy a ticket expecting anything else, it will be, for its audiences, one of the most satisfactory films of the year. It even has real actors in it. Like all the best disaster movies, it's funniest at its most hysterical. You think you've seen end-of-the-world movies? This one ends the world, stomps on it, grinds it up and spits it out.
