I just came from seeing Now You See Me, and I thought it was an AWESOME movie. It's a marriage of a heist movie and a movie about stage magicians, both of which are types of movies that I love, and the way they combined the two was a joy to watch. The story was well-done and creative, and Jesse Eisenberg, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine did a great job in it. If you like heist movies in general, or Inception in particular, or movies about stage magicians in general, or The Prestige in particular, or movies with lots of mystery and suspense in general, or any of the actors I've named, I highly recommend that you see this movie. :-D

(My only complaint was that one of the trailers attached to it was for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and the trailer spoiled one of the major points of dramatic tension in the first book, which I still haven't finished yet. On the other hand, the fact that there are shipping wars in the fandom probably should have been my first clue as to how that particular point of tension was going to be resolved. ;-) )
