The Sorcerer's Apprentice
The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a 2010 Fantasy/Sci-Fi movie starring Nicholas Cage and Jay Baruchel.
Plot: Cage stars as Balthazar, a master sorcerer who has searched for hundreds of years for the next apprentice. Living in New York, he comes to realize that college physics student, Dave (Baruchel), is that apprentice. He then begins to train him in the ways of magic in order to prepare him for what is to come: a showdown with one of history's most evil sorcerers.
My Take: This is a movie that I would never had seen in the theater simply because it didn't look like a movie I would enjoy. However, watching it in my own living room, on a whim one night, proved it to be an entertaining and fun movie. Baruchel is perfectly typecast as the lovable loser who tries to avoid his fate as a powerful sorcerer destined to save the world. Nicholas Cage does a nice turn as his mentor in what is a fairly predictable story. Predictable can be a lot of fun.
