Skyline (2010)

Expectations were low, was thoroughly pleased!

[9/10 · 21 September 2011]

I went through waves of feelings towards this film before seeing it. Wanted to see it really bad! Then everyone I knew completely disagreed and I questioned my judgment for a good film, then I still wanted to see it, then I heard these horrible reviews, eventually I watched it when it came on DVD and I don't understand these bad reviews at all?

I found it a thrilling movie, loved the graphics, the suspense, EVERYTHING. I did notice the half cheesy plot but otherwise I enjoyed it.

Seriously don't understand the 4.5 star rating here on IMDb, it's worth way more then that! Mixed feelings about the ending, to sequel or not to sequel? That is the question.

Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World (2011)

It's a kids movie after all...

[6/10 · 21 September 2011]

I don't think this was a bad film, granted it wasn't a good film but for me I couldn't help relate it back to the original movies and in that sense I think it did well, it didn't stray too far from the original plot lines and I liked that because I was afraid after all these years it would have changed completely.

So many of these reviews rate it as "cheep and crappy", well it's definitely cheap, the graphics are pretty much exactly the same as the original films and its not going to win any awards for being a brilliant flick but the movie wasn't made for YOU, it was made for the kids.

I think as a kids movie, or family movie, it does well and I believe the children will love it just as I loved the originals when I was younger. Yes the plot is cliché and predictable but to a kid it's a whole other world where they can be a hero without growing up.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)

Brilliant!

I predict this will be the movie of the year.

I was thoroughly immersed in this movie from start to finish and when leaving the cinema (twice in the last 24hours) I could only hear the endless chatter of comments like "That was great" and "Brilliant way to end the series".

Though, in my opinion, some key factors were missing or needed more exploration I think you'll find it's easy to clue on whether you've read the novels or not. Some previously main characters were lucky to slip in a line or two whilst some of the more minor characters sneaked their way up to the top.

The film was brilliantly directed. Music, lighting, script; everything was flawless. Some scenes had my skin crawling and heart racing for absolutely no reason other then the fact that it was utterly eerie, it was hard not to grip the armrests in anticipation.

Dramatic musical build up mixed perfectly with lingering silences in all the right places. Spots that would usually host a soft violin were left with the honest and real quiet so that you could wrap your head around everything.

My emotions were chewed up and spit out over and over, I didn't know whether to grieve, cheer, laugh or scream and neither did the audience I was with.

By the end I couldn't even think of the fact that it was the end of an era, I couldn't even grasp everything that had happened which is why I'll be going to see it for the third time within this next week.

You wont regret paying for the full experience with this one.
