Water For Elephants

Last Saturday I went to the Balmoral Cinema to see the movie Water For Elephants. It's 1931 during the Great Depression and Jacob Jankowski (Robert Pattinson) who is studying @ Cornell and he is doing his final exam when he's informed that his parents are killed in a car crash.With no money and no family Jacob is forced to take the roads and jumps on the train which he joins the circus "Benzini Brothers". Jacob does the odd jobs and meets the boss August Rosenbluth (Christoph Waltz) as well as MArlena his wife(Reese WItherspoon). Jacob starts to have feelings for marlena and August get suspicous about the relationship which it's gets interesting throughout the film. It's an AMAZING,BRILLIANT and a EXCELLENT movie with EXCELLENT & BRILLIANT acting by Reese Witherspoon, Robert Pattinson and Christoph Waltz as well as Hal Holbrook who plays the older Jacob, Pail Schneider, Ken Foree and others as Tai as the elephant Rosie which she was excellent too. It's based on the book by sara Guren and the screenplay written by Richard Lagravenese. James Newton howard does the music, producers are Gil Neter, Kevin Halloran,Erwin Stoff and Andrew R Tennenbaum and it's directed by Francis lawrence. This has to be one of the best circus films since The Greatest Show on Earth in 1952 and it's one of Reese Witherspoon's finest performances. I give this 5 stars and it's in the cinemas now
