The Prestige
The inevitable comparisons between The Prestige and The Illusionist come, but their similarities end with the fact that they are about turn-of-the-last-century stage magicians.

Suspicious River (R, 2000) movie

Eat, Pray, Love (2010 Film)
I don’t know what it is about Julia Robert’s, but no matter what role she plays, I can’t help but be pulled into to whatever the story line may be. In this case, the story line was the well-known novel turned into a film, the 2010 movie “Eat, Pray, …

“8 Mile” (2002 Film)
