The Sorcerers Apprentice

New this weekend, The Sorcerers Apprentice a the box office, destined to be a big hit.

Right up front, if you were a fan of the National Treasure movies that Nicolas Cage starred in, you will more than likely be a fan of this Cage flick. Although the story is very different, they have the same feel. Families again, benefit from another Disney movie. TSA, is really fun for all and maybe it's strongest selling point, especially for me, it's not animated. I am not anti-animation a the movies, but there is just so much of it and more on the way.

TSA is the mythical story of the Sorcerer (Cage) and his hundreds of years of searching for the next sorcerer that will save all of mankind from the evil that exists in the world. Baltazar (Cage) does have his enemies in the magical world, and he needs to find the new sorcerer to carry on. His search leads him to New York City, where he finds him. And the apprenticeship is on. And so is the race to teach him quickly enough, to stand in the way of evil, and save all of mankind from being "enslaved" by the evil world.

TSA is a fun movie with some rally nice effects, and also a well written script that keeps every ones interest. The story for the most part stays focused, and on track. Cage is strong here, and so is co-star Alfred Molina as our evil sorcerer. Although this movies seems tidy and wrapped up, upon further review you can see the door begin left open for this saga to go on in movies still to come.

The Sorcerers Apprentice. This is not fantactic Disney magic, or anything that is over the top great. But it is again, more family fun. Well done!
