Skyline/Harry Potter 7 part 1

Happy day after Thanksgiving!

So, Skyline was not as bad as everyone said it was.The plot was pretty much: aliens attack with blue light that sucks you in. 5-7 survivors stay in big building. Some die. They run downstairs.
Aliens scare them. They run upstairs.
Aliens scare them. They run up downstairs.
Aliens scare them. They run upstairs.
Aliens scare them. They run up downstairs.
Aliens scare them. They run upstairs. Aliens scare them. and then just to switch it up, they go to the roof! And fight aliens.
           The best part is watching the aliens fly around and fight because they actually look pretty cool. The acting here is not stellar, but it feels like a less nausea inducing version of Cloverfield. While the ending was not as full of closure as I would have liked, it was a entertaining film to watch. It felt a  tad long, and it also didn't have the best script. I saw it at the dollar theater so, for a dollar, this was well worth it. I suggest seeing this movie once it comes out on DVD or going to see it at a dollar theater.It's hard to give this movie a rating. I liked it, but wouldn't have wanted to pay full price for admission. So it's worth a watch but still only gets a 2.7 out of 5.

Harry Potter 7 part one was great! Some people complained that it was too long, but they probably stayed through the credits (which are reallllllly long). This has been my favorite Harry Potter film so far and when it ended I would have been happy to watch more if it had been there. Dobby as comic relief was brilliant as was the animated sequence in which Hermione tells a story. I would be happy to watch an entire movie with that art style. My only issue was a weird scene in which a silvery version of Harry and Hermione make out in gigantic from. It was just unnecessary and I can't say I remember the book describing it quite like that. But still! Everyone should go see this movie which is (mostly) just plain fun.  HP7 part 1 gets a 4.5 out of 5.
