Now You See Me is the best film I have seen in a long time - although my
adopted daughter who is One Direction's biggest fan is chomping at the bit to
give that a look so I expect I will be soon watching a British Boy Band in
action.

Well that review will get audiences to the theaters although time is running
out for a theater view. Probably the DVD/Bluray release is only a few months
away. Sony doesn't waste any time.
Not everyone understands science fiction. I've written before
about how few movie reviewers "get" horror and science fiction
films. Of course "Elysium" is no Bourne Identity because the
latter is based off books. But there are a lot of people bashing
"Elysium" because they don't like it's message. The message is
about now and the 99% vs the 1%. Elysium is a orbiting community
where in the future the 1% have moved. Obviously a metaphor of a
"gated community". Alex Jones bashed the film as being
"anti-white" thats because Los Angeles in the future is mostly
Hispanic. But geez, California was part of Mexico before it
became a state. A Latino ghetto (Damon plays a Latino) sells the
poverty element better than a "white ghetto" would have. Neill
Blomkamp's prior film was "District 9" which was about apartheid.
