Now You See Me Review

About a couple of weeks ago I saw the movie Now You See Me. In short it is about a group of four street magicians who are brought together by a secret organization to be the Robin Hoods of magicianry. All the while they are under the scrutiny of a police investigator and an ex-magician who has made it his mission to debunk their "magic tricks", starting with their robbery of a Paris bank while being in Vegas.

First off I have to say the movie was spectacular. The special effects and "magic tricks" were so good that at one point of the movie I felt like a child in awe of a birthday party magic show. In fact if the plot were bad (which it wasn't) the special effects alone may have been enough to make me watch the movie.

Secondly, the plot kept me guessing the entire time and by the end of the movie it took such an unexpected twist that my mind was blown, that is why I won't really reveal any plot details. From the beginning you sort of ask yourself, "Who brought them together?", "How did they do that?", "When did they get the chance to do that?"! And of course because of the character played by Morgan Freeman most of the questions get answered in time. In fact after he explains some things you might even think to yourself "That was so obvious," especially in some cases if you have at least a little experience from a childhood fascination with magic. 

Though, of course, some people may argue that some things don't make sense but there's a reason for suspension of disbelief. With a movie like Now You See Me, it's definitely a time to not nitpick at every detail because it's worth the viewing and even the little bit of brain work.
However my one complaint about the movie is, well, the secret organization, "The Eye", felt like a loose end that wasn't tied by the end of the movie. We never really learned who they were, or what they do other than they like to play "Robin Hood". BUT I've seen rumors of a sequel so perhaps it will all be revealed then. Besides if there really is a sequel I will definitely be along for the ride (as will my boyfriend who LOVED the movie)

TL;DR: Would recommend

For my other reviews I really hope to talk about things in the movie more but I feel like talking about Now You See Me with more detail will either make the movie sound bad because of all the holes everywhere or ruin the plot for not trying to leave all the holes.

Random Thoughts

I know I haven't been able to post for a few days but it so happens that Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my busy days and on Thursday I was really sick. But anyway's here goes a late entry;

• I've been trying to watch the latest remake of The Great Gatsby but it's actually a tad boring. Which is sad because I was really looking forward to it. I guess I just don't like the way it's narrated.
• My preggo friend, who from now on will be called 'N', went to the hospital yesterday!!! Her baby is 7 weeks and 5 days (well 6 today) so far!
  
• My boyfriend is such a sweetie, he came to take care of me yesterday when I wasn't feeling good. Even though the orange juice didn't really help it's the thought that counts! ^.^
• I finally got a new litter box for my cat. It's called a Booda Litter Box and since it has a dome top she has no way of trying to cover it up from the outside because then she just looks silly. The only thing I don't like is the liner because Peppermint keeps tearing it and taking it out. Plus it has a little piece for like a flap? But it didn't come with one...

• Also my Skoshbox shipped yesterday! It's a Japanese candy subscription box that I'm really excited for even though I probably won't stick with it.

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

The Good

• My Julep Box finally came this week! I'll definitely do a review on it when I get the chance. I don't really like nail polish but Julep may just change my mind
• I've been watching A LOT of movies lately. Now You See Me, World War Z, Oblivion. They were all really good I'll also be sure to review those when I get the chance. Has anyone else seen them or any other good movies? What did you think?

The Bad

• My cat continues to kick litter out of the box even though I've bought one with a shield... the worst part is she doesn't even know how to bury it 
• I've worked a closing shift every night I worked this week. It's so tiring. T-T
• I accidentally let all my library books get over-due again

The Ugly

The absolute worst thing that's happened this week is that all the screens in the drive thru at work (where the order shows up) are broken. It's such a hassle now that we have to reprint all the receipts. The worst part of it is that a group of cars that would take about twenty minutes to take care of wind up taking longer since we have to go so slow.
