Harry Potter and the deathly hallows...I've mastered, five magicks

This review is on Harry Potter and the deathly hallows. In being a fan of the books and movie franchise I know as I am sure many of you know as well what is supposed to happen. But it has been so long since I read the last book that I didn't remember some of the stuff in the movie. Which led me to believe that the director changed the story...but unlikely and my memory is becoming shit in my old age. The movie starts off with Harry saying good bye to his adopted family. The same with the other two main characters, then the action picks up immediately. The first few minutes were fast paced and exciting, good enough to get you to grab onto the armrest and hold on for the ride. But then hits a snails pace and drags on. I know its how it is supposed to go and is very necessary for the story. The conflicts and constant shifting of emotions were acted out well by the three actors. Possibly there best work to date. The setting of the movie is very dark, the mood is dark, even the lighting during the day is dark. And it fit the theme of the story very nicely, I thought I would get tired of the constant gloom but actually was quite appropriate. Even though they didn't get as far as I would have liked I still very much enjoyed the movie. As gritty as the settings were the comedy that was few and far between was a hit every time lighting the mood just enough to carry into the next scene. I give Harry Potter a 3 1/2 out of 4. The main characters aren't quite there with their acting abilities. But close enough to make this the best Harry Potter movie to date in my opinion. The only thing that bugged me was the audience. They were complaining about having to wait until July to find out what happens. Pick up the damn book! Are they so sloth like that they are too lazy to read? Give me a fucking break!

Skyline. Don't look up...at the screen.

This review is on Skyline, and I actually feel obligated to write this review to give warning to all who read this. Skyline was so bad, so bad...after the movie ended it was like dropping an extremely heavy couch after climbing twenty flights of stairs with it. The relief of it ending was a god send in itself. Where do I begin? The movie starts off with this couple. The actors I don't really recognize, I think one of them was on Haven which is on the Sci Fi channel. They go to L.A. to meet their rich friend who is the actor from scrubs, I think he was in Clueless as well I don't know his name either. But I don't think anyone cares either. Any who. they go to L.A. and "party it up" then BOOM bright lights and everyone is going towards them. Did no one pay attention when your told NOT to go towards the light? Let alone a strange light that came from the sky? For fuck sakes people have some common sense! Well the main character looks at the light being captivated and gets pulled away which gives him "Powers" ...really? You don't see it until the end. But aliens invade, big surprise. The mother ships looked original in a sense that they didn't look like one of the droid vehicles from Starwars episode II. And the floating drones weren't knockoffs of the aliens from Independence day or the other floating drones from the Matrix. There was very little originality in this movie, and the bad acting didn't help anything either. I have so many complaints I don't want to name them all and I already feel like I'm nitpicking. But the icing on the cake was that they didn't even bother to end it. They probably just thought "Eh this is good enough we already know this is going to be bad who gives a shit." Show some form dignity. Skyline gets a 1 out of 4. With the money they spent making this they could have made an Independence day 2 and as bad as it would have been it would have been better than Skyline.
