The Illusionist (2006)
Mysterious
I liked this movie a great deal, although I felt it was a bit predictable I was surprised by the end. Jessica Beal, who I normally dislike was beautiful and subtle in her role. Ed Norton, while a great actor, is not someone I would have chosen if I was casting this movie, but solely based on his looks, not his acting, which he delivers in, despite his constant worried brow.
Paul Giamatti was very interesting, a very diverse actor with realistic emotions and reasoning.
My only regret was that I did not have the lights turned down for the entire film.
A good film, with surprise, sex and GORGEOUS photography.
Perfect Strangers (2003)
Not what I expected. At all
I rented this while I was staying in NZ and sat down prepared for a love story that turns into something like Fatal Attraction or something. Not at all. I appreciate the plot twists and enjoyed the extreme weirdness. Not horrible but not fantastic either ( in my opinion.
All in all I think the acting was pretty believable, but there are some plot holes (pretty gaping ones actually). However the story is pretty consistent with details from the beginning being carried over through the end.
I will look for movies with the lead actress and this director again in the future.
Enjoyable for those with twisted minds.
