Kazed reviews: Skyline (2010)

Synopsis: Strange lights descend on the city of Los Angeles, drawing people outside like moths to a flame where an extraterrestrial force threatens to swallow the entire human population off the face of the Earth I'll keep this short. This film was wtf. The film could've done without the first 15 minutes. For realsies. It was complete and utter nonsense. Wasn't needed, wasn't required, wasn't needed, wasn't required. Was.not.needed. Let me give you my list of shit that pierced my rectum for this film:

• The Aliens are never explained.
• Over usage of slow motion, I mean, what the eff? It's used at the most unnecessary time, it really pulled on my pubes.
• The shitty acting
• How it tried to be different with it's handheld-style camera work. Newsflash, dumbass, it's been done.
• BRAINSUCKINGALIENS. REALLY?
• The shitty acting
• The shitty acting

Really, it was a recipe for disaster. The guy from 24, (Eric Balfour) was (I guess) the main character in this here flick, and to be honest with you, I didn't care. Truthfully speaking, the only commendable aspect for the film was the visuals, but even then, it was like two occasions. So, watching it was not that unbearable, it was a watchable film, but then it got to the last 10 minutes, and OH MY GOD. Seriously, what were they thinking? How is that EVEN possible? (Now, for those of you who haven't seen it, <scroll over for SPOILERS> a guy dies, his brain is somehow 'special' compared to others, so this brain gets implanted into one of these aliens, and this alien he becomes, saves his fianceé from possible termination. So then- forget it. Just don't watch it, I beg you) It just didn't make any sense whatsoever, then again, neither did the rest of the film, but this was just blerg. Anyway, gets a 3/10 from me.

Wall Street (1987) review

Synopsis: A young and impatient stockbroker is willing to do anything to get to the top, including trading on illegal inside information taken through a ruthless and greedy corporate raider whom takes the youth under his wing. This has been on my 'to watch' list for a while now, and with the upcoming sequel due for release soon, I thought it'd be the perfect time to review Wall Street. WS was a film which impressed me to the point where I wanted to be a stock broker. Or a rich greedy S.O.B. No, seriously though, it was the performances in this film that drew me further into the film. The chemistry between Charlie Sheen and his father (in the film and real life) was unmatched; particularly the scene between Bud and his Father outside the elavator. the sheer aptitude both of these actors shown was just amazing. Most definitely the highlight of the film, it didn't leave my head after watching. Similarly, the dialogue had the same effect; leaving some of the most brilliant quotes I've heard in a film. It was Gekko, Michael Douglas' character who had left the biggest impression on me. His charisma, his attitude, the way Douglas delivered the lines, the sheer tenacity he showed throughout the film was what made Douglas' character work. The story was another factor which upped the overall badass-ness of the film; stockbroker looks up to rich guy, rich guy takes him under his wing, stockbroker becomes rich, rich guy destroys stockbrokers' fathers business, stockbroker destroys rich guy. Not as straightforward as that, but that's the gist of it. Sort of. Great film, not perfect though. Not everything is. 7/10 Kazed
