Fanfuckingtastic, as Fats would say.

Goldman wrote the Princess Bride, Butch Cassidy etc, Marathon Man, as well as the screenplays for All the President‘s Men and Misery and so much more. Clearly, he was a talented SOB. Magic hooked me from the get go and it was easy to tear through it on my two snow days. It follows the crack up of a young magician on the cusp of success. Perfect dialogue, compellingly told. I also love the movie.
