Some of you may have heard about this. Some of you may have not. I just got back from this movie and it was incredible. It's based off the short story Eisenheim the Illusionist. Lead character is Edward Norton, who played the character down to a T. Paul Giamatti was the Chief Inspector, Jessica Biel is the love interest, and Rufus Sewell as the bad guy who doesn't believe in magic.

I give it an A-

Ask any girl if they like magic and you should easily score points with her. However, this is only in select theatres nationwide. Happy Hunting.

Seeing it later today.

However I think I may be looking forward to "The Prestige", even more. Nolan, Jackman, Bale, Caine and Scarlett. AND DAVID BOWIE

Never heard of it. But I'll look into it. Your taste for film is pretty good.

Edward Norton wasn't he the dude that played the Narator in Fight Club?

I thought the movie was extremely slow and boring at times...and this was by far Norton's worst performance

Even though the "twist" could be seen a mile away, the overall film was good stuff. Ed Norton is certainly one of the best actor's working today.

Giamatti was good as usual too.
