Avengers: Age of Ultron

Marvel brings us the newest installment of the franchise where we get to see the Avengers fight a new enemy, make new allies, and find out more about the lives of the superheroes. While this is much grander than the first one, there was something in the first movie that made it stand out but it doesn’t seem to be replicated here.

Begin Again

Someone give Keira Knightley a record deal pronto! From the writer and the director of Once, a musical drama springs up again, involving a scorned woman and a down on his luck record producer, whose lives intertwine on one open mic night. It was a simple story, elevated by the performances of the actors, and a soundtrack that is quite fitting to the film. Begin Again was charming, and I could just see myself watching this over again.

Now You See Me

Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Common, Mark Ruffalo
Director: Louis Leterrier

When I was a kid, magic shows were a rave. No matter if it was good or very amateur, it was still, as they said magic. There were some good acts I've seen, but I was never really in the amazement that what they're doing was magic. I was one of those people who was watching how they do the trick. The summer brought in one of this year's surprise hits, and it was a movie about magic. Now You See Me plays on a con by using a con by itself: magic. It's a step away from the blockbuster flicks that's on screen, coupled with a cast that I found to be formed in random, bringing in the power of special effects. It's an entertaining flick, but it has to be something you see with an open mind, and just allow yourself to be taken away by the whole concept in order to enjoy it.
