With The Last Airbender and Twilight: Eclipse behind us, it’s becoming more and more easy to call this summer a relative bust. All that stands between Summer 2010 now and the bowels of history is Christopher Nolan’s Inception, or so you might think. Over the past few weeks I’ve become increasingly interested in the Jerry Bruckheimer produced magic-a-thon The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. And it has nothing to do with Nicolas Cage’s funky hair-do.

As you may have discovered last week with my write-up of Miracle, I’ve got a thing for great Olympic stories. In my mind, there are few greater stories in sport than those that surround the Olypmics. And while there aren’t as many great stories associated with the winter games as there are the summer games, there are at least two. Miracle tells one, Cool Runnings tells the other.

Just when Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans almost had us convinced that the man hadn’t forgotten how to act, and the prospect of him teaching a teen girl to kill in Kick-Ass had us wondering about a Nic Cage resurgence, he goes and does a movie like this.

If we are honest with ourselves for a moment, we will see that the Jerry Bruckheimer produced, Jon Turteltaub directed Disney film The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is actually a very interesting project. And it just got more interestinger.
