So I saw The Illusionist last night. While the movie was visually and aurally appealing, I have to say I found the storyline a bit predictable. I'm not going to go into it too much as that would require spoiling the plot, but suffice it to say that I thought the main twist could be anticipated about an hour before it happened because the movie would otherwise not make any sense. The long anticipation meant that most of the actual movie-watching was done with a sense of frustration. I don't want to bash it more than it deserves: all in all, it was not a bad movie, with good acting, good visuals and good music. I was just hoping for something more.
Completely unrelated to movies, earlier in the day I enjoyed a croissant and americano at a cafe I think I'd like to visit more often, Le Gourmand on Spadina. Both were great.
