Movie Review: Now You See Me

I LOVED THIS MOVIE! It's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. It's more than good. I'd watch it ten times in a row. Well, maybe like days in a row. It's about a group of four magicians that believe in the Robin Hood principle: robbing the rich to feed the poor, taking back the money scoundrels swindled from the people of America. But they do it through magic.
This movie is so good because of its intriguing plot.
Cynical FBI Agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) gets the assignment to nail these guys, and gets paired up with an INTERPOL agent (Melanie Laurent) and begins working with Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman), a man that makes his living on pointing out how magicians do their tricks and tearing down their careers. Although no one, not even the Four Horseman themselves, know who the fifth magician helping them is.
This movie is reveal after reveal, action on top of action. Debating about watching it or not? Think it looks stupid? Well, it isn't. Mwa ha ha ha ha!

Parents, this movie isn't exactly kid-friendly for a few reasons. Check out what these cool sites have to say:

HELLO EVERYONE!
Okay so I'm McKenna Andersen
I love reading, writing, sports, and TV. (more than I should:)
I,like my friends, is also a big Psych fan a long with Sherlock BBC, Doctor Who, and Once Upon A Time. The Percy Jackson series is one my favorites with Harry Potter, the Sisters Grimm, The Hobbit, and Artemis Fowl.
I have a strange fear of statues, bugs and fish.
Well that's about all you'll need to know about me.
Bye :D






Anticipation Empathy Post no.1: House of Hades by Rick Riordan

"Oh, poor thing!"
"Poor unfortunate soul!"
"That's too bad."
These are only some of society's sympathetic expressions. None of which have any effect on a mourning, impatient bookworm.
The Mark of Athena ended with a tragic and horribly horrid cliffhanger (leave NOW if you don't know what this means) and we fans, PJ psychopaths (or, Sherlockians will relate, highly functioning sociopaths) are mourning, and we have no idea about what yet.
This is a Great Depression in this flourishing fandom. Fangirls everywhere are drawing fan pictures, writing fan fiction about the next book, and crying into their pillows. I am writing this post to let you know that, like you, I am one of those fan-fiction writers and potential post-tartarus fall criers.

"Don't worry. I'm going to crawl to the ends of the earth, suffer loss and hatred, narrowly escape sudden death and utter starvation and come back with a copy of the House of Hades."

"Pre-order The House of Hades today on Amazon Kindle."

Are the only words we want to hear.
