The Illusionist – (we saw this in a theater, not yet available on DVD) Edward Norton as Eisenheim, a magician in late-19th century Vienna, who takes on the heir to the Austrian throne over his love for a childhood sweetheart (Jessica Biel) who has become the prince’s fiancée; Paul Giamatti has the role of the police chief. One of the most satisfying films we’ve seen this year.
