Sabkush Entertainment: The Sorcerers ApprenticeThe Sorcerers Apprentice
Remember Merlin, the most famous wizard of all wizard lore, long before Harry Potter came into being? Well, Merlin has a bunch of good and bad followers who have been playing around on terra ferma for almost 1,400 years. This time round, the game gets a bit too destructive: armageddon. And its left to good wizard Balthazar (Nicholas Cage) to save the world from bad wizard Horvath (Alfred Molina) by finding the new age messiah. And who is he? Nerdy New York student Dave Butler (Jay Baruchel), known as the Prime Merlinian, with palms of fire.... Movie Review: This ones a simple summer flick that keeps the popcorn crisp. Of course, the story isnt original and does fill you with a sense of deja vu, even as Nicholas Cage makes you wonder what exactly is his career plan. But then, theres Alfred Molina on the other side who seems to be having so much fun playing the mean wizard, he fills your heart with devilish glee. Watching Molinas antics as he tries to unleash his fury and dabble with gargoyles that change into dragons and mirrors that capture him in crowded NY washrooms sure is uproarious fun. Add to this the geeky Jay Baruchel with his laid-back charms and his sleepy super-hero act, and you have enough to keep the minutes ticking.
