Edward Norton, you were supposed to bring sexy back!

Speaking of new releases, The Illusionist is not worth seeing even for masturbation fodder.

The story is pointless, the characters are silly and if we're somehow supposed to believe that Edward Norton (37) and Jessica Biel (24) are childhood sweethearts than the post-production team really should have abra-cadabra'd the lines off his face.

Also and WOW, is that ending even supposed to be a twist? The "discovery" scene is lifted straight from The Usual Suspects except it feels like it's a half hour long and puts Paul Giamatti's police inspector in the uncomfortable position of being functionally retarded.

Hey there ladies (and a Frankenstein),

I just wanted to say that you've got a great blog! I am an aspiring filmmaker, so it's just so great to read your blog---basically anything having to do with film is of interest to me.

Anyway, I think this may be of some interest to you: I'm not sure if you've heard about The Ground Truth, but it's this great documentary about the lives of a few soldiers as they prepare for war and particularly what their lives are like as they return home. And for this week only, an extended seven minute trailer is being shown on AOL which you can see at

You can also check out other trailers, interviews, and video clips from the film, as well as a list of premieres and screenings at the Ground Truth's AIMpage:

It would be great if you could mention something about this important film in your blog and perhaps link to the AIMpage or add the AIMpage to your blog roll? Please get back to me and let me know! Thanks and continue on with the great blogging!

Best,

Andie
