Went to see The Illusionist a couple of nights back. A great movie - extremely lush and beautiful to look at with a good old-fashioned story. Try not to read the reviews or watch the trailers too closely - I find that they give just far too much away. It's set in turn of the century Vienna and the filmmakers do a wonderful job of capturing the feel of that time with sepia tones and, on some occasions, very subtle blurry vignette-type borders to the screen. I'd love to visit Vienna someday. The filmmakers also got a hold of the most expressive eyes in acting today - Edward Norton, Paul Giamatti and Rufus Sewell. Of course, Jessica Biel is pretty nice to look at too. Last time I saw her, she was being chased by a guy with a chainsaw.
