Magicians (2000)
On The Road to Vegas
I stumbled across this DVD at my local Blockbuster and was pleasantly surprised with the production qualities along with the acting. The script was a little weak in places but overall it is a nice little fun film about a couple of would be magicians, their assistant and mentor (Alan Arkin)who travel to Las Vegas to make it big.
Being a magician myself, I got a kick out of the film and what these people go through.
Pearl Harbor (2001)
Shorter is Better
I finally got around to seeing this so-called epic story of World War II. I was glad I went but was badly disappointed. If they had made the whole thing an hour or so shorter by cutting back on the love story, it might have gotten a 'buzz' and done a whole lot better at the box office.
The love triangle was so contrived it really got to be annoying.
Personally, I would have liked to see more about Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle (Alec Baldwin) and how HE made it made it back safely. In my opinion, Alec Baldwin stole the show from those kids that were supposedly the stars.
