Editorial Review: Description: The life and times of history's most famous escape artist and magician, Harry Houdini. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Nothing revealed.This is a TV movie covering the career, life and afterlife of the illusionist Harry Houdini/Ehrich Weiss. It is a romanticized skeletal treatment, covering the basics of the man (raised in poverty, self taught magician, life long mother issues, medium debunker) without any real depth or showing anything new. It is a well done enough production, recreating some of Houdini's daring feats, and the acting is decent (and Johnathon Schaech certainly looks fit enough to pull off Houdini's escapes and high ... Read More Rating: - You See What You Expect to See...Or so might say Houdini. This film was highly disappointing because rather than show the truth, the filmmakers slipped and fell and decided to serve up what they expect YOU, the viewer wanted to see. Not something I like to see in excess in a supposed biopic. (SPOILERS COMING, if you care). It starts out pretty promising; up until the halfway point or so, I was fairly impressed with the attention to detail of the material. I'm by no means a Houdini expert, but they were admirably throwing in things ... Read More Rating:  - Houdini, a wonderful movie to view and own.Houdini, is a television based movie. I find that it has easily become my favorite movie. With the strange twists, it gives some insight as to what Houdini's life was like. Of course, the whole movie isn't based upon the truth, but that's something to expect from a TNT movie. Every good movie, be it based upon the truth or not, has at least a few plop twists. The movie begins with Houdini's early childhood, up to his death, and a little past for entertainment value. The love story - like moments in ... Read More Rating:  - That's not how it happened!Before I saw this film I saw as many documentries on Houdini as I could. They got the facts all wrong! That is NOT the way that those people were. That's not what happened that night, ten years after his death. Those hoping to learn anything of substance about the celebrated magician and illusionist will walk away disappointed, because writer-director Pen Densham's superfical and overly melodramatic biography turns Houdini into a shrill, unpleasant narcissist. This TNT original film has "TV movie" written ... Read More Rating: - "Houdini" makes you believeThe first time I saw this movie it touched my heart like few movies have. It makes you believe in the power of true love and how nothing is impossible as long as you believe. Browse for similar items by category:
