...child, the magician had met and fallen in love with a young duchess and schemed to elope with her. In maturity, this beauty has become Princess Sophie (Jessica Biel), who is likely to be wed to Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell), a potentate as brutal as he is handsome--and he is very handsome. If Eisenheim and Sophie are to resume their tryst, they must elude both Leopold and his wily Chief Inspector Uhl (Paul Giamatti). All are ready to play roles in Eisenheim's game: to be his accomplice, his stooge, his unmasker, his ruin...
...whole Hoover bunch piles into a Volkswagen bus so that Olive can take her shot at the Miss Sunshine crown. The vehicle is a perfect symbol of the family's tenuous grip on reality: only the third and fourth gears are functioning. That metaphor is pitch-perfect, but the film works a little too hard at proving the vileness of beauty pageants. When the M.C.

She told the doctors she wanted her hair shaved so she could see the number 666--the mark of the Antichrist--on her scalp. She also wanted her hair cropped in the shape of a crown, perhaps the kind the Bible says Jesus will give to those who have won salvation...
...high on his agenda until his wife, Madeleine, who raises thoroughbred horses, got involved. "My wife is a great animal lover. I'm more passive. She's more aggressive," he says, with a laugh. Paula Bacon, the mayor of Kaufman, Texas - where one of the plants, Dallas Crown, is located - alerted them to the problem. "Paula Bacon told me the kill plant had $12 million in gross revenues and only pays $5 in taxes but it clogs the sewage system up." A court ordered the plant to shut down by Sept. 30 for failure to pay fines in the thousands...
