I guess that's why we have multi-plex cinemas.  |
Yes, this is pretty much where I come down on "The Illusionist". Norton was very good but the real surprise was Paul Giamatti. He's in nearly every scene and was the glue of the film. I thought he was great in "Sideways" but terrific in "The Illusionist". You could almost hear the gears creaking in his head as he reasoned it out.
