Now You See Me: Now You Do not: Made Corruption Seen

After 10 years, the therd,Now You See Me, film gets to be seen. Directed by Ruben Fleischer, with the returning cast including Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, and Isla Fisher. We also get to see a couple of fresh faces, such as: Ariana Greenblatt from Barbie.

The horsemen return with new additions to their group, to stop Veronika Vanderberg (Rosamund Pike) from taking more money than necessary from her buyers.

All the Now You See Me movies are fun to watch, due to their magic tricks and for their lighthearted fun. So far this film, has been my favorite, in the trilogy. It had action, magic tricks, and a meaningful purpose for the trick.

I feel like this movie had fewer magic tricks than the previous, however I liked it better that way. There was more time for fight scenes, like the one in the upside-down room. Having something called the upside down in a movie, so close to the last season of Stranger Things I found very amusing. However, the tricks they used to stop Vanderberg were surprising. I enjoyed the plot with Charlie (Justice Smith,) it gave the movie a plot twist that I did not see coming. I am glad he did the right thing, even though his sister was not. I assumed the person behind all these missions was called the eye, it reminds me of the eye of Sauron , only difference is this eye is good (bummer.) these movies are good but not Lord of the Rings level good.

This film was much clearer on the purpose of what the horsemen were trying to do. In the first movie, they did a trick where they faked robbing a bank, who was stealing from the people, but the money turned out to not be there for real (it was confusing). This was straight forward, wanting to return the heart to the people, since Vanderberg was taking more money from the people, than necessary. In my opinion , it is funny that Vanderberg had an item called the heart, when she does not have one. Someone should tell the horsemen to come to the United States (we have a ton of corruption in government.)

The more I look at a picture of Eisenberg, he looks like Harry. I do like him as an actor, he is very energetic, (if he were younger, he could have been cast for the upcoming Harry Potter reboot.) Greenblatt was not the main character, but she did do a little more in this movie (rather than just following Barbie around.) Jack and Atlis are each other's sidekicks, who work well, thinking up the tricks together they have good charisma, (two of my favoritee charitors.) I hope there will be another Now You See Me movie, these are fun films.

Alien: Romulus: best in years

After six movies in the Alien franchise, (with the first one being the best). Fede Alvarez, who previously wrote Evil Dead. He now is directing Alien Romulus, which takes place between the first two Alien movies. Romulus stars: Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux from Shadow and Bone, Isabela Merced from Instant Family.

Rain and her brother Andy, team up with Tyler and kay, to travel to Yvaga, (a planet with sunlight.) However, to accomplish this, they need to steal cryo pods, to survive the nine-year journey.

One of the reasons I found this movie just as good as the first, is due to the storyline, action, and suspense.

Cailee Spaeny portrayed Rain, someone who wants to go live in Yvaga with her brother. She believes they can make a better life there. As a replacement for Sigourney Weaver's character, Rain was a good hero, who I feel had an interesting idea, to turn off the gravity to try and defeat all the Xenomorph. At first, I found Andy (a synthetic) played by David Jonsson, boring with bad jokes. However, on the ship, he becomes more interesting, due to him being on the wrong side for a while. Isabela Merced played Kay, a brave pregnant woman. My favorite part of this movie involves what she gives birth to. The seen was gross, but I enjoyed the action that followed. Tyler (Archie Renaux) did not have a ton to do, after producing the plan to steal the cryo pods. I do wish he had more screen time, only for the fact I liked his British accent.

For the first part of Romulus, they do not encounter an alien, it is spent getting to know the characters. This made the movie more enjoyable since you care about the characters and want them to survive. In my opinion, it was a good choice to have Fede Alvarez write and direct this movie. I liked his 2013 remake of Evil Dead for the same type of storytelling. Alien Romulus has been the best movie in the Alien franchise, in years.

Inside Out 2: Creatively Relatable

Everyone experiences several types of emotions at different points in life. The Inside Out movies show how emotions can work together, to form someone's personality. Inside Out 2 is directed by Kelsey Mann and stars Amy Poehler, Maya Hawke from Little Women and Stranger Things, and Kensington Tallman. As well as, Liza Lapira, Tony Hale from Arrested Development, Lewis Black, and Phyllis Smith from The Office. New additions to the cast include Ayo Edebiri, Lilimar, Grace Lu, Sumayyah Nuriddin-Green, Adele Exarchopoulos, Paul Walter Hauser from Cobra Kai.

It is the summer before Riley's first year of high school, and she wants to impress the high school hockey coach and team, at camp. Meanwhile, her mind is being introduced to some new emotions... Puberty! Just like the first Inside Out, the second one is creative, fast paced and has a good meaning behind it.

Albert Lozano is a very inventive person for producing all these designs of each emotion. Between Lozano, Pete Docter (a visual animator at Pixar), and a couple of psychologists from Stanford, they were able to make these personalities extremely accurate. All the islands in Riley's mind are fun to explore, my favorite is where all the core memories are stored. It is essential because that is how someone forms their sense of self. All the Pixar animators did a fantastic job creating the colors and expressions. The energy of the characters captured the attention of young and adult family members alike.

Additionally, all the voice actors played their parts well. Amy Poehler portrayed an upbeat and happy Joy. Maya Hawke played Anxiety, who fears the unknown. She was very hyper, like she had too much caffeine before coming to headquarters. She is one of my favorite characters since I can relate to having anxiety. Phyllis Smith voices Sadness, who believes she cannot do anything right. Her blue hair is a good representation of her mood, lots of times people refer to being sad as being blue. Lewis Black as Anger is hilarious. He looked like a red square, who would furrow his eyebrows every time he was angry. Disgust (Liza Lapira) along with Fear (Tony Hale,) helped get back to headquarters with Joy and Sadness, after they were kicked out by Anxiety. Ayo Edebiri voiced Envy, a green character, since she is jealous of everyone else. Adele Exarchopoulos, (Ennui), is French for boredom, which is why he lays there doing nothing. Embarrassment (Paul Walter Hauser) is shy and nervous about speaking and falls when he tries to shake Joys' hand. Something I found interesting was how even though they were Riley's emotions, they had emotions themselves. Joy gets sad when she runs out of ideas on how to get back to headquarters. Eventually, it is sadness who must be brave and go back by herself.

Growing up, you get to experience different emotions, in one way or another. I never cared about fitting in, like Riley does. However, even to this day, I want to get good grades in school, but taking tests still gives me anxiety. Inside Out 2 is a fun movie that everyone in the family can enjoy. Everyone has their own experiences with all these emotions, which is what makes Inside Out 2 so relatable.
