Blu-ray Review – The Magic of Belle Isle

MAGIC OF BELLE ISLE Morgan Freeman

The direction of Rob Reiner's career has been quite curious as of late.
After scoring a major hit with 2007's "The Bucket List," the helmer has
retreated into smaller films of a more wholesome nature, including
2010's unexpectedly tedious family offering, "Flipped." "The Magic of
Belle Isle" furthers Reiner's newfound interests in unexceptional
entertainment on a slightly more victorious note, though the picture
isn't something that demands attention. Better with intimacy than
artifice, the movie shines intermittently, holding out hope that Reiner
will wake up before the feature concludes and deliver a string of
amazing scenes. Instead, "Belle Isle" contains very little magic, at
least the sustained kind. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
