Well, as an assignment we had to select two movies and write about them as a critic. We had to write about the best movie that we had seen recently, and the worst. I have to admit that I hadn't been able to visit to go to the movies since summer, so I decided to write about the ones that I saw then. 


Best: Now You See Me

115 min  -  Crime | Mystery | Thriller  -  31 May 2013 (USA)
Ratings: 7.3/10 


I had to say I was really surprised with this movie. I remember going to the movies really excited to see This is the End, and it was full so we decided to see Now You See Me instead. The movie had a lot of famous actors but I wasn't excited about it. The movie is about four magicians that answer to a mysterious call and began to do a series of tricks together. They become really famous and decide to steal a bank using their tricks and doing it in front of a live public. The plot thickens when they achieve their goals and everything get complicated. At the end you have a wonderful twist that leave the spectator surprised and really into the movie. 
      I really suggest you to see it, I assure you will love it. The movie's effects are really well done, and each actor gives an exceptional performance. The movie has great music that make the public connect with every scene and  every actor. Even though they are criminals, you become so into them that you will love every single magician from the beginning until the end, seeing them as a some kind of modern Robin Hood.


Worst: This Is The End

107 min  -  Comedy | Fantasy  -  12 June 2013 (USA)

In my opinion, this movie was a total disaster. People talked so much about it that I wanted to see it so bad, but every time I went to the movies, it was full so I had to see it on Redbox. I was truly disappointed with it. The movie had an awesome publicity showing a lot of known actors playing as themselves. The movie is about the end of the world that occurs during a Hollywood party hosted by  James Franco. A lot of famous actors die and they have to stay inside Franco's house to survive. Trying to survive a lot of weird thing happen between them as the plot thickens. 
      Maybe, it was because I saw alone in my computer that I didn't laugh during the movie. I found it kind of lame. Some of the jokes were a little bit weird. Some thing that I really liked was that they used a lot of random references to previous works of the actors. I understand all of them, so I really liked that. Maybe the movie is more of a see it with your friends while you get drunk movie than a movie that you see alone. Anyways, even though I didn't like it, I still recommended it because maybe it has your type of sense of humor and you will laugh about it doesn't make any

Good reviews..thank God you just paid like $1 to see it, it's very frustrating when you pay $7 for a lame movie.

I really liked how you organized the posts. Putting them both in the same post but separate so that it is still easy to read. Your reviews were very good especially the best movie one where you mentioned a lot of different aspects to the movie, I really liked that. I really loved Now You See Me as well so I can agree. After reading you're review I am very glad I decided not to watch This is The End, from the trailer it looked kinda lame and you just confirmed my suspicions. Very good post in general.

I couldn't watch Now You See Me, when it came out, but I still want to, and your post convinced even more. I liked your post, how it's organized and the way you summarized their respective plots. My only comment is that in the last sentence of This Is the End's review, it seems like there's a word missing or something. Nonetheless, great post!
