Then again, nothing says summer studio fun like annihilating violence. ![]() Emmerich, who was born in Germany in 1955, is compulsively repeating a historical trauma. ![]() Yet as you watch the White House go up in flames - an image that doesn’t provoke the same shock or giggles that it did in his 1996 flick, “Independence Day” - you may wonder if every time he blows or burns something up, Mr. ![]() Maybe he just likes playing with matches. Once again, for reasons best left to him and his therapist, he has created a pop diversion about the near-destruction of the world. “White House Down,” the latest conflagration from that master blaster Roland Emmerich, is as demented and entertaining as promised, and a little less idiotic than feared.
