Update on the Illusionist
August 21st, 2006Ebert and Roeper did a review of the illusionist last night. Actually it was Roeper and another gentleman. It got one thumb up. This confirms my suspicions that the movie is not going to be something special. There just doesn’t seem to be much to talk about with this movie. It’s a sepia-tone love story. Sepia-tone? OMG? and they showed a clip from the movie and the accents that the actors used was very distracting. They really should have just spoken plain english and forgot the accents. My advice? Don’t go see the movie. But if you are a hardcore fan of fantasy just rent it when it comes to dvd -whiich won’t take long.
Sidenote: Sorry to see Mr. Ebert wasn’t with the show. He has been having health problems and we all hope he is ok. Making me feel old. It used to be the Siskel and Ebert show, then it’s the Ebert & Roeper show. Will it soon be the Roeper and somebody else show? Funny how the trademarked “Two thumbs up” continues on even though the shows critics change.
You can listen to their review in podcast at the Yahoo Podcast site.
