Another time
It might be the weakest of the latest “Magicians” movies (see Prestige and the Illusionist, the latter being overseen at the Box office), but it still has one strong central performance by Guy Pearce. I’m wondering when he will be in some top rated material again. Because the book does let him down a bit here.

He tries everything and he is pretty good in it, but does not have so much to play with, as Ed Norton, Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale. All are great actors and the others have the opportunity in their movies to shine. This being based on “true events” (some of them I guess, without having the complete background scoop on it), it does fall flat on it’s back at times (no pun intended). Plus it might be a bit too much worried about the love story, than actually the story of our main character. At least that’s how I felt … still it can make a nice watch!

Had Some Slower Parts Here and There
“Mary McGarvie” (Katherine Zeta-Jones) is a young woman living in Edinburgh, Scotland during the 1920’s who makes a living as a psychic along with her young daughter “Benjie” (Saoirse Ronan). Times are hard and after the theater she works for closes life gets even more difficult for the two of them. Then one day the great “Harry Houdini” (Guy Pearce) comes to town and with him is his challenge of $10,000 to any psychic who can tell him what his mother’s last words were to him. Desperate for the money Mary accepts the challenge and of all the people who apply is accepted whole-heartedly. Now rather than reveal any more of this film and risk spoiling it for those who haven’t seen it I will just say that this was an interesting movie for the most part. As always Katherine Zeta-Jones looked gorgeous every time she graced the screen. Likewise, both Guy Pearce and Saoirse Ronan performed quite adequately as well. Unfortunately, the movie had some slower parts here and there and at times it seemed the overall plot lacked direction. Again though it was still somewhat entertaining and I rate it as slightly above average.
