Quick Movie Reviews: Despicable Me and Skyline

Despicable Me: I had waited to see Despicable Me for quite some time and I was pretty disappointed with it. A film with such talented and funny people like Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, and Kristin Wiig should have been a lot better. There isn't anything glaringly wrong with it, it's just not that funny. A complete mixed bag .

2.5/5 Stars

Skyline: Dear god, this was terrible. I honestly can't think of anything remotely positive to say about this film. The acting and script are pathetic. I felt like I was watching a high-budgeted Sc-Fi Channel original movie. Not one thing that occurs in this film makes any form of sense. To top it off, just when you think it can't get any worse, Skyline manages to have one of the dumbest endings in film history. The ending is equal parts confusing, ridiculous, and unintentionally hilarious. Skyline makes this years Battle:Los Angeles (which was only a decent film) make look like a game changer in the alien invasion genre. Worst movie I've seen since Paranormal Activity. Skip at all costs.

1/5 Stars

  1. It’s too bad you didn’t really like it. I rented Despicable Me last night from Blockbuster for my two younger brothers and I to watch together and we all loved it. Enjoying this movie with my family made me really glad I told my mom about DISH’s new offer to give Blockbuster free for three months to new customers, http://bit.ly/jGJ7jn. I work for DISH so knew about it right away and was able to tell her too. My mom thought the movie was sweet and my brothers were laughing the whole time; the minions were a great touch. It gets five out of five stars from us.
