After many months of waiting, the cinemas decided to make me real happy by screening 2 Edward Norton movies one (week) after another. Last week was the much hyped 'A Painted Veil', which received many praises regarding Edward Norton's and Naomi Watts' performance. This week, they screened 'The Illusionist'--the one that I had been keeping my eye out since that search for Edward Norton's new works in Aug '06. 'The Illusionist' was praised for the cinematograpy, pictureque throughout even though the plot thinned in the second half.

So he dies in 'A Painted Veil'... which I hafta say is so~ predictable. Seriously, it's either him or Kitty. Oh well...
And in 'The Illusionist' he made a whole elaborate trick to make sure him and his lover gets away to lead a new life. Basically the two lover birds disappear.
Well, the last time I "saw" Edward Norton was in 'Kingdom of Heaven', 2 years ago. ("Saw" in double quote coz leper King Baldwin with the shiny mask? Yea?? Tha's Edward Norton. Didn't really "see" his face...) And he died there too. Gee... It must be the curse of me liking them. They always end up dead. There's this one Korean actor whom I really like (Shin Ha-gyun if your curious) and he dies 8 out of 10 movies I saw.
