Movie Premiere: Now You See Me

So earlier was the Movie Premiere of 'Now You See Me' at SM Megamall and we were once again fortunate enough to be invited by Pioneer Films (Movie Punch) to catch the premiere screening. 

We immediately noticed that we would be sharing this movie experience with 106.7 Energy FM which was the Media Partner for the event. It was also sponsored by Pizza Hut :) 

There were some games before the movie started and I really, really wanted to win that Palm Card! Hello! Pizza Hut! Palm Card (ahem, ahem) I just suck big time when it comes to draw lots. (I never win!) 

So after the games and obligatory photos were done, we settled right in to start the movie, I must say though I really liked the new video for the National Anthem, it featured modern day heroes, like a fireman rescuing a baby (instead of 'Chicago Fire' it could have easily been 'Tondo Fire'), OFW's, a doctor in the barrio etc. I personally liked it more than the spot the actor/playing the National Hero video. Kudos to GMA 7 for the production. 

It was a good thing I was able to catch the trailers - because I love trailers and the trailers that were previewed were all upcoming movies from Movie Punch.

Do Yuou see what I see? 

Like I always, I have a separate movie review from the movie premiere post, so I will (try to) save most of what I thought of the film but I will definitely say that it was amazing! I know I said in an earlier blog post that it was a cross between Ocean's 13 and The Prestige but now that I have seen it I would want to add another movie in the mix and this is one of my favorite movies I might add- The Italian Job. 


It's really one of those movies that will have you thinking throughout but not the kind of thinking where your head it hurt, the kind of thinking that you will gladly do because you are very much intrigued and you want to know what is happening, why is it happening, how it happened etc.

In an interview, director Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk and Clash of the Titans) has said that he wanted the movie to be a multi-level movie, where in people would be looking out for something, while others will be looking for something else. I literally have to stop myself and reserve the rest of my thoughts for the Movie Musings (Movie Review) blog post. So I will probably have to hit the breaks here.

Definitely a lot of fun - 'Now You See Me' is the type of movie that you will be discussing a lot with your friends after seeing it and the type that is open for discussion, argument and debate with good fun and humor of course. 

Paul and I actually want to watch it again and hopefully we get the chance to, it's really one of those movies you don't toss away after watching once. 

With a star studded cast, an intricate plot, surprises at every turn and amazing special effects - Now You See Me is definitely a movie to catch.  

Movie Review/Movie Musings post soon!
