Now You See Me

If you haven't gone out and watched this movie yet, than what the heck are you doing reading this blog post? Go! Now! And I don't just mean stream it online, you need the full theater experience! Don't worry, I won't go anywhere. We can rave about the movie together when you get back.


Ok, now that that is taken care of, wasn't it freakin ah-may-zing?! It takes a lot to make it to #1 on my favorite movies list, but Now You See Me just beat out Inception with a wave of it's magic wand. Amazing.

I like lots of movies. Disney? Yes. Harry Potter? Oh yeah. But in order for me to really love a movie, I need something that gets me thinking - one where I want to go back and watch it again just to see what I missed. It's a movie where, just when you think you are two steps ahead of the game, you soon find out that you're actually three steps behind. You think, as the audience member, that you have the third person omniscient point of view. Well, you are in for a surprise.

And don't even get me started on the oh-so-handsome Dave Franco.

Now You See Me is stacked when it comes to the cast, elaborate when it comes to the tricks, and pleasing to the ear when it comes to Morgan Freeman. But you don't need to take my word for it - go find out for yourself!

Etsy

I have made a miraculous discovery. Etsy.

I happened upon this website as I was browsing through the YouTube videos of Zoella. She had purchased a cute bracelet from this site and I thought I would look into it.

As it turns out, this place is fantastic! Basically, it is a site where people can set up an online shop and sell their items to a worldwide audience. Some of the items can be a little pricey, but I was able to find some bargains. As a huge Harry Potter and Hunger Games fan, I was sure to browse the "Geekery" section of the website. And, because I'm a girl, I went straight to the jewelry part of this section. I hope this doesn't look tacky, but I took a screenshot of my cart and the items I bought. Here, you can see the crazy low prices for the jewelry, but the catch is shipping and handling. Normally I would have paid about $6 for this haul, but after they tack on another $6 for shipping and handling, it came to a little over $12. But in the end, I thought it was still worth it and made the purchase. I am so excited for these to come in the mail! Once they do, I will be sure to let you know if I am satisfied with the purchase.

But wait, they don't just sell jewelry. You can find anything from electronics to clothing to gift ideas! If you have some free time on your hands, I would definitely check this place out.
