Movie Reviews of Magic
Movie Review: Presto, chango, Magic is fun...WE'RE DEAD!
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this when I was 12 years old and it freaked the shiznit out of me - low on gore, high on psychological thrils, MAGIC is an old-school horror flick of the classic kind - anchored by Anthony Hopkin's early bravura dual performance as Corky/Fats - but what I remember most about MAGIC isn't the movie, but the scary as hell TV spots that used to run back in the 70s on late-night TV - the bonus materials explain that after the simple, yet very creepy TV ads ran ONCE on TV in New York, they were pulled due to parental complaints about frightening their little tots - they're weren't far of the mark - as the camera pulls in and "Fats" intones his evil poem - "Magic is fun...we're...DEAD!" - you'll feel your blood turn to ice. A nice DVD to complete your horror collection - [...]Movie Review: Creepy old Anthony Hopkins film
Summary: 4 Stars
Magic stars Anthony Hopkins long before Silence of the Lambs. His character "Corky" is a magician who can't seem to catch a break. He decides to try his luck at using a ventriloquist doll during his act and he becomes a success. His ventriloquist partner "Fats" starts to take over Corky's thoughts and motives. The success that his act has brought him starts to push him further into insanity and he runs off to escape with Fats. It is at this point that Corky's weird life begins to fall apart. He finds his long lost love and her violent drunk husband when Fats decides to take over. I remember seeing this movie as a kid and it really scared me. Just the thought of a doll coming to life is a bit disturbing. Great movie!Movie Review: A ventriloquists nightmare
Summary: 4 Stars
Magic is a timeless suspense film starring Anthony Hopkinks, Ann Margret, and the always entertaining Burgess Meredith(better known as Mic from Rocky.) The story follows an up and coming ventriloquist "Corky" and his dummy "fats" on their near rise to stardom. This is a very entertaining yet creepy film where the dummy is in control of the ventriloquist(very similar to a Twilight Zone episode.) Just watching as Corky can't go more then five minutes without speaking as fats is sheer genius. Great acting plus a very clever story make for a timeless movie, as is the case in "Magic". I definately recommend this classic if you need a change from the typical cookie cutter horror/suspense films out there now.Movie Review: A great thriller from the 70s

I remember as a kid being scared to death by the TV commercials for this one. Every time it came on my sister and I would freak out. I hadn't seen the film years but always remembered it as a real twisted thriller. Well, now it's available again and years later it still remains a great, creepy thriller. Hopkins is sooo young here but already shows what a tremendous actor he is. Ann-Margret was still a true beauty and Burgess Meredith is just great. Eeerie, creepy and well acted. This one is still a winner all these years later. Oh, one other thing, those TV commercials - there on here and there still scary.Movie Review: its magic

I remember seeing this movie as a kid and found it to be scary. i now sort of compare it to the twilight zone episode of the dummy that comes to life..cool movie though.
