Roland Emmerich is the fucking Mozart of big dumb action movies. I am an unapologetic fan of his movies and I think it's because he has a firm understand of the basic building blocks of cinematography and shot composition that other directors *ahem Michael Bay* seem to think are beneath them with rapid editing and shaky cam bullshit. I've also heard that White House Down is a better Die Hard movie than whatever the hell name of that Die Hard movie that came out earlier this year.
