The Purge   
Friday, June 07, 2013
“The Purge” has its moments of silliness; most of that in the final third of the movie. I have to admit that I was hooked though, for a bit. The tension builds nicely and you get to know the family enough that you care for them and their situation. The movie also tries to make a social statement about the Government and how people all have pent up anger and violent tendencies. Allowed to release that pent up and inevitable tendency for a short period, in theory, opens the door for 364 days of non-violence.

Now You See Me   
Wednesday, June 05, 2013
"Now You See Me" starts off introducing us to four different magicians, two are well known, one is on her way up and one uses his skills as a common street thief. Together, they are brought to a locked room in a dingy hotel by a mysterious benefactor and coaxed to become a team in order to achieve a certain goal. That goal is a mystery to us as is most of the movie. The movie then cuts to just a year later and the four magicians have become the Four-horsemen, a daring magician team that quickly becomes the talk of the world after just their first show.
