Something Wonderful This Way Comes

In Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, the movie’s titular toy store is the most fantastic, the most outlandish, the most wonderful toy store in the world.

Actually, Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium is a magic toy store, and everything in it comes to life – including the store itself. However, it asks only one thing of its customers: You must believe it to see it.

I can tell you that after seeing the trailer for this movie, co-starring Dustin Hoffman and due out Nov. 16, by far the most magical element in it has got to be Natalie Portman’s smile.

It alone will have you believing in the magic that inhabits this movie.

Sporting a becoming pixie cut, bright eyes, and that crush-worthy smile I mentioned, Portman steps into serious America’s Sweetheart territory in a role that should endear her to hundreds of thousands of kids and adults alike.
