Highlight: The Illusionist

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

The “Quick Change Artists” made the finals on “America’s Got Talent” with their fantastic ability to change outfits in the blink of an eye. For over 30 years, Siegfried and Roy attracted more people than any other performer in Las Vegas. And when David Copperfield said he could make the Statue of Liberty disappear, 50 million viewers watched, with bated breath, to see if he could do it. Ever since I was young, I’ve been amazed by magic and I know I’m not the only one. Now, the alluring mystery of magic is hitting the big screen with “The Illusionist.” From the people who brought you “Crash” and “Sideways” comes a tale of magic, politics, and romance. Starring Edward Norton, Paul Giammati, and Jessica Biel, watch this exclusive clip and trailer on Google Video.

SUPER SIZE ME is one man’s journey into the world of weight gain, health problems and fast food. It’s an examination of the American way of life and how we are eating ourselves to death. Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock unravels the American obesity epidemic by interviewing experts nationwide and by subjecting himself to a “McDonald’s only” diet for thirty days straight.
