On My Holiday I Watched...Skyline

On My Holiday I Watched.....Skyline

When giant machines appear in the sky, radiating a bright blue light that entrances anyone who looks at it to be dragged upwards into it, it is clear that disaster is on its way. Alien ships descend onto Los Angeles, flying machines sent down to search buildings for any humans. No one can escape.

This movie was hard to write about, because it was just another 'alien invades big city a group of people are left will they or won't they survive?' films. Sure, it was good effects, but the acting kind of sucked (sorry!) and *MINISPOILER* i felt like one of the main characters died way too soon and not dramatically enough. I felt like, if you're gonna kill him then do it with some big action scene.

With all the sci-fi films out there, this wasn't that memorable among all the rest. It was good though, fun to fill time. But, apparantly, there is going to be a sequel? (I think!) And since it was left on a cliffhanger, I think i'll be up to watching the next one.

Oh yeah, and this movie gives a BIG HINT about where i went on holiday, for those who actually are trying to figure out;)

On My Holiday I Watched...Just Go With It

Just Go With It

Danny Macabee (Adam Sandler) has got it all figured out. He knows the perfect line to get women - 'I'm married, but my wife is a b****'. Which isn't true, because he's never been married, just uses a ring to pretend he is. Danny then meets gorgeous girl Palmer (Brooklyn Decker) and they get together. She then finds his wedding ring in his pocket the next morning, and leaves him saying that she doesn't want to ruin a marriage. But Danny lies again, saying that he's in the middle of getting a divorce. Sounds perfect, right? Until she wants to meet his wife. This is where his co-worker comes in, Katherine (Jennifer Aniston) and they get caught in a whirlwind of lies - which is pretty hard to get out of. 

This was the type of movie you see once and don't go back. I was on the plane and bored, and it just kind of entertains you. It was good, a bit predictable, but the thing I didn't get, was how Jennifer Aniston was meant to play the 'not so pretty working mum' when she is obviously stunning. And Adam Sandler annoys me. Otherwise, it was fine.
