Wonderful!

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2006)

Finally, I was thoroughly entertained and didn't catnap during a film. Everything about The Illusionist kept me wide awake! This was so well done, so intelligent, mysterious and beautiful. I'd love to see the last five minutes again in slow motion. Ed Norton was superb. Paul Giamatti was great also. After all the hype about Sideways, I really didn't care for that one. But this production earned my sincerest admiration for Paul's acting gift. My congratulations to all who made this movie the highlight of my summer theater going experience. Perhaps there can be a sequel? Some Oscar nominations, I hope. I'm looking forward to reading Steven Millhauser's short story.
