I'm a big fan of the first Now You See Ms (2013) with its great surprise ending. The combination of magic tricks mixed with crime always intrigued me,can't you'll get it all here with this sequel. I went to see this today with my sister and it was great. The plot was just as smart and suspenseful, the acting was great, and the graphics - especially the scene with the rain - were mesmerizing. The Four Horsemen deliver a whole new level of magic tricks, deception, and fun. Lots of crime and action in this sequel. It's just as great as its original and fills in a lot of missing info. Definitely go see it! I give it 10 stars for its cleverness, suspense, great action scenes, and overall an epic ride with The Four Horsemen.

Hush
(I) (2016)
"Hush" Will Keep You on the EDGE of Your Seat!
18 May 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I watched "Hush" on Netflix a couple nights ago. I wasn't expecting much at first, but what I saw blew me away.
I'm a huge horror movie fan, but this film surpasses the genre. It contains one of those rare, psychological feels that gets under your skin, leaves you at the edge of your seat, and keeps you tense. There was never a dull moment in this movie. Every scene had something unnerving to offer.
The film opens to a seemingly peaceful, comforting environment in the countryside. Deaf writer Maddie Young lives by herself in a small house with her cat, her Macbook, and a voice in her mind. All goes well until a stalker in a creepy white mask invades not only her home, but her life.
The premise of this film I found to be very unique; a vulnerable deaf woman having to survive a psychopath who's armed with plenty of weaponry. It's almost as if you're Maddie herself, trying to find a solution with limited sources.
What I really liked about this film is that it goes back and forth to her "deaf" point of view, which is how the audience can relate to her situation.
Hush (2016) is overall one of the most TERRIFYING and SUSPENSEFUL movies I've seen in a long, long time. It's innovative and clever as well. In other words, it doesn't resort to cheap scares and too much gore. It tells a story with very limited dialogue. Great acting, setting, and a pulse-quickening tension.

War of the Worlds
(2005)
The IMDb Rating Doesn't Give This Film Justice
15 January 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I'm a young fan of Steven Spielberg, and all his movies are wonderful and phenomenal. War of the Worlds (2005) is no exception. I don't know why it only got a 6.5/10 on IMDb. In my humble opinion, considering how intense and dramatic it was, it should've got a 7.0 minimum.
But hey, if I like a movie, then reviews don't matter to me.
Anyway, Steven Spielberg did it again with this bone-chilling, suspenseful, and INTIMIDATING movie. When you watch if, you feel as if you're a victim yourself of the Martians and their Tripods. They sealed a plan many years ago to destroy humanity and make our planet theirs. With their high-tech technology they can disintegrate a human- being in one nanosecond.
What made this film excellent was the acting. Tom Cruise plays a divorced man who, in the end, is the one who saves the day despite an estranged relationship with his children. You can tell he wants to protect his family at all costs, even if it means the end of the world, Dakota Fanning, being only 10-11 in the film, did a PHENOMENAL and convincing job as a terrified, anxious and innocent little girl. I could feel her shock and hysteria. I don't know any girl her age at the time who could've done a better job. Spielberg did a successful job at giving the atmosphere a claustrophobic, impacting-doom feeling. No one is safe; regardless at how well they protect themselves. Not even the US military. When you see one of those three-legged tripods all you want to do is sit at the edge of your seat!
I overall love the plot basis of how a dad can prove to his children how much he loves them during an alien invasion. I also love the comedic elements added in that were amongst Ray, Rachel, and Robbie; such as how when Ray says he's going to tattle on Mom every time they disobey him. Haha! It's a very simple plot yet dramatic, suspenseful, and TERRIFYING!
If I could choose, I would've given the main movie's rating an 8.0 out of 10. It's unique and never dull for a single moment. Wonderful movie with just the right amount scares, emotion, and triumph. You're amazing, Mr. Spielberg!
