Wow! This post is a little difficult for me because I used to be such a movie freak. I would buy DVD's all weeks and go to Blockbusters all the time, but that was a long time ago. Suddenly university and new priorities kicked in, so right now I don't watch a lot of movies because I don't have the time for it and if I do find time I get lost in series, what can I say... I'm addicted! Still I'm going to try to review some movies...

The most recent movies I have watched are "Now you see me" and "The big wedding". From this I think you can know at least one thing about me: I don't have time to go to the teather! These two movies, I watched from the comfort of my home, bed and on my time...as every single movie I have watched in over a year.

"Now you see me" directed by Louis Leterrier. Ok I'll admit it, I didn't liked it...I loved it! Why? Is the type of movie that has you guessing every second, also I knew all the actors so you know how great they do their job. This movie is about magicians looking to make it big time and they are choosen by "someone" to make their own show, they are helped financially and they piss people off when they "rob a bank" and give the money to the spectators. They keep making great magic towards the end, even when the police keeps going after them.  It's this kind of movie that's a "mindfuck" and you ask yourself in the end, what did I miss?! Also is the kind of movie that is so well executioned that it even makes you want to be a magician (really!). Those are the types of movies I like, because you think you know it all when you really don't know anything; I find this very refreshing, like exercise to the mind. It's a 5/5 stars in my book and you really should see it!

The other recent movie I watched is "The big wedding" directed by Justin Zackham. This movie has a very nice cast: Robert de Niro, Diane Keaton, Amanda Seyfried, Susan Sarandon...and many more. So what's not to like?! Katherine Heigl, that's what!! I really don't like this woman's acting! Anyways that is not the only reason why anyone should never see this movie...  it's just more of the same. The daughter (Seyfried) is getting married and divorced parents (De Niro and Keaton) have to fake being married because the groom's mother is a devoted Catholic; in the end they end up having sex and then feel guilty about it, De Niro proposes to his current girlfriend (Sarandon) the one he was unfaithful to! She accepts and they become one big happy family. I mean, come on! It's simply unoriginal and stupid to even make a movie like this. I really think I lost my time watching this because I was expecting something else and ended up seeing something I have viewed over a million times.

Someone does not like Izzie Stevens...

I want to watch both movies! I liked your review, but did you just spoil the second one or is there more? I think, as part of the assignment, you still had to hook the reader to the film's premise, even if you didn't like it. Other than that, the reviews were good.

I also loved Now You See Me and decided to write about it!! Excellent choice btw :)

I didn't see "The Big Wedding"" but it sounds to have an awesome cast so maybe I will see it later. LOL Katherine Heigl isn't that bad :)

I payed 35$ at Imax to watch Now You See Mee, and I don't think it was that great, but it was good in my Opinion. About yout post, it was great, you explain things you liked/love and some you dont. ;)

You made very clear why you liked and disliked each movie and I liked that a lot. I think adding photos or something visual related to the movies would have really made the post better since just blank words are not as fun, especially when talking about movies. Other than that very good post, well organized and easy to read.
