the illusionist

| No Comments

March 30 movie: The Illusionist. I really enjoyed this. It was not at all what I was expecting -- I had somehow gotten it confused with Lord of Illusions. Very different movie! Here I was, expecting a cheesy supernatural horror movie with the guy from "Quantum Leap," and instead I get The Age of Innocence meets The Usual Suspects.

I knew nothing at all about The Illusionist going in, and I think that was the best way to see it. The movie genuinely kept me guessing. For instance, ten minutes in I thought I knew how it was going to end, and then my predicted ending happened half-way through, and the movie went in an unexpected direction after that. I like a movie that can surprise me.

(No kittens, no best girlfriends, but it did have oodles of true love.)
