Dark Skies

(Movie, 2013)

Not that it matters but I kinda predicted the ending. Acting was OK except maybe for the older brother/eldest son. This could have been better if they were able to cast maybe Thomas Jane, not that Josh Hamilton was bad or anything. Kudos to the music/production team! The background music was awesome. It gave me the creeps just by listening to it.

Beautiful Creatures

(Movie, 2013)

When you have Jeremy Irons, Emma Thompson and Viola Davis in one movie, it should be great, right? It should be. They were great but the two main actors just gives me the icky feeling. I don't know why. If the male protagonist was played by the guy in Chronicle (Dane DeHaan), it could have been better. For the girl, they could have gotten somebody else. I don't know, those two just don't fit with the other cast.

The Host

(Movie, 2013)

I never read the book in which this film was based on. Nevertheless, I could say that this is a love story. I was actually quite excited about this because I love sci-fi movies. It turns out to be a 98% romance and 2% something else. Anyway, the movie was not that bad although it could have made much better.

Jack Reacher

(Movie, 2013)

The movie is a bit slow. It is actually borderline boring. It could have been made better. I think it has something to do with editing.
