Movie Review - The Illusionist

Odds are if your nickname isn't Hooters, you haven't heard of this movie. I saw the preview, and I urge you to go to here and do the same before you read this review. The preview looks cool. Sure, it's a love story. But, it's a love story with Jessica Biel and Ed Norton. They're such an unlikely couple, but both good actors. I think they pull off the movie just fine, but it's slow. A little boring, and a little predictable. Me and the Hot Wife went to see it with Mia Wallace and Silent M. I really wanted to see it, but I can tell you not to waste your time. The movie sucked a steaming bowl of elephant piss. Picture a little bit of Romeo and Juliet with some David Copperfield type tricks, and of course....Yeah...I'm a fan. My personal favorite Biel movie would have to be Blade: Trinity because well...it is. She's pretty hot in that movie. This one she stays mostly covered up. Trust me, had she been at least a little naked, I would have told you to see this movie. Pretty much everyone involved has done better flicks. For Biel, it's a step up from Stealth (I think we all remember what a steaming pile of shit that was), and for Norton and Giamatti it's a step down from any of their works. In short, see something else. Not Crank, but something else.

In other news, I almost got a speeding ticket this weekend that I totally deserved, grilled some odd fish with the neighbors (and no rum was involved believe it or not), and saw a few more movies. I'll update with all that later this week, and hopefully plans for the weekend. I hope everyone else's weekend was as good as mine.
