Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium — 

Wonderful and magical movie!!

This movie is narrated by a young boy, he divides the movie into chapters and really only narrates the introduction to each chapter.

Mr. Magorium is played by Dustin Hoffman who does a fantastic job!! Mr. Magorium owns a magical toy store, Mahoney (played by Natalie Portman) is the store manager for him. She feels "stuck" in life and Mr. Magorium puts plans in motion to help her.

The effects in the toy store are amazing. Everything is completely believable, yet you know it's not possible!! lol They did a fantastic job.

I watched with my roommates 6 year old son and he enjoyed it very much. I didn't realize how much until I got Alvin and the Chipmunks for him and he wanted to watch "the toy store one" again!! Quite the compliment from a 6-year-old boy!!

Darlin I saw your lil fighting depression comment, and just had to come in and hopefully cheer you're day up.

Youre a beautiful woman, depression SUCKS. I know, Ive been there, done that, and finding a way out of that rut... or hole as I should say is a hard task.

You will though eventually find your happy place... trust me. Life is too short for depression... unfortunatley it's a thing that happens to even the best of us. Luckily... its as always... a passing phase.

-Great review....

Cannot wait to read more of what you've yet to review. : )
