I don't go to many movies. This one intrigued me for three reasons: A period piece, set in early twentieth century Austria. Secondly, a movie about magic. I am a sucker for quality magic shows. Third, Jessica Biel, an earthy, smoky beauty. I liked it a lot. Is it a brilliant, deep movie? No. It is a love story/mystery. Edward Norton was suitably contemplative as the hero. Rufus Sewell, who played the prince, was creepily malevolent and kaiser-like in his portrayal. Paul Giammatti is a brilliant actor, the Walter Brennan of our time. Go see it or watch it on DVD on the TeeVee when it comes out.
