Jay Chou In Now You See Me 2



The president, Jay Chou, is making his way across the pond for another stab at the Hollywood market. This time with Now You See Me 2. Which is pretty cool due to Jay Chou very well known love for magic. You can see on youtube many clips of him showing off card skillz and so forth. If you see the trailers, the four horsemen make their way to Zhong Guo and bump into Daniel Radcliffe. The president doesn't show up in the trailer, but it's been surmised that he plays a significant part. Also, why not get more pub for it a growing film market that is becoming more and more important to US films making a return.

I am surprised that he's even showing up in the list of stars and that he got his own.

Now You See Me - 出神入化



Now You See Me (出神入化) is an 2013 film. The movies stars Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg, Mélanie Laurent, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman. This movie was truly an ensemble cast as it included all the characters equally.



A group of magicians is gathered together to pull off a bank heist half a world away. The people are out to get them. Another magician who outs magician for a living are also after them. The group plan more elaborate heist. The cops try to gather as much evidence. The outing magician tries to decipher their tricks. The cat and mouse chase goes from Las Vegas, to Paris, to NOLA, and to the big apple. Who's gonna when?



This movie was well made, had a great cast, a pretty good twist, and a new take on the heist genre. I was at the edge of my seat for a lot of the film. However, towards the end, it started to drag a little. But it picked up again when they got to the twist. The cast of really good looking people also made this a really easy and enjoyable watch. A sequel is on the way and I am looking for to a new franchise.
