    The White House in ruins? Glad it's just a movie. Happy 56th birthday to Gerard Butler. Watch him in MACHINE GUN PREACHER, OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN, LONDON HAS FALLEN, and GAMER all night on Pluto TV Action: pluto.tv/us/live-tv/5...

    #DailyStream: a movie about faith, yet without sanctimony. Gerard Butler is hugely engaging in #MachineGunPreacher, a tough guy surprised to find he cares. Also with an excellent supporting Michael Shannon. On @hulu @PrimeVideo US; @SkyUK Store UK
