A Wonderful Movie that Fell Through the Cracks
"Magic" is a great thriller with big stars, and based on a novel by a popular author. For some reason, critics jeered it when it was first released, and it apparently dropped off the face of the earth. As a last resort, I bought this tape, but found the viewing conditions were very bad. It's better than nothing, I guess, but the sex scene was edited and the language dubbed out, just like on television! This particularly hurts the final line of the film, which includes a certain four-letter word. Nonetheless, it's a disturbing and very funny thriller with great performances. Buy this video anyway, it may be your last chance to see this movie, ever.
