This is going to be a short review, because I spent far too long checking on things and fixing other things here and there on the blog. Memoirs of a Geisha was a good movie. From a technical standpoint, the costuming, makeup, sets, music and cinematography were excellent. The greatness of the costumes and makeup were emphasized by the "metamorphosis" interlude in the middle of the movie, showing the transformation of Sayuri from slave to geisha. I would definitely recommend this movie to someone looking for a movie that tells a great story. It is definitely a movie that is shooting for some awards next year, but doing so without the flashy computer explosions or wire fighting. It is an entertaining movie done very well.
