The Prestige

[jardinero]

O.K. You guys know I don't recommend too many movies. The last movie I thought was worth recommending was "Crash".

My son wanted to go see The Prestige this past weekend. I'd not heard anything about it, but it had a decent cast: Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine (and even David Bowie). This is the one about the two magicians in 20th Century London.

Gotta say that it drew me in right from the opening and gripped me thru the entire movie. I can't remember a part where it dragged and it's a good length.

Go see it and tell me what you think. I was surprised how good it was.

Very highly recommended by me.

yeah jardi... I want to see that one as well... it looks good, and now with your recommendation!

...of course, I'll probably see "Borat" first... but I'll see it and get back to you...

daughter saw it. said it was great and she wants to see it again because there are so many twists to it.

I saw it and really enjoyed it.

I 'm also somewhat confused, and feel I missed something at the end. The Hugh Jackman character was spitting out his last words while dying, and I couldn't make out what he was saying. I also didn't get the very last shot.

Otherwise, I hung in pretty well with it, and the art direction was great.

Thanks for revealing the ending. Can you reveal the other twists, too?

:)

[hiway29]

oops sorry about that-actually that had hardly anything to do with the real ending so I spaced

I seem to be revealing stuff all over the place lately, so I've decided to take a vacation from posting anything so as not to open my big mouth .

[Raf]

Aw, come on, it wasn't that serious! :)

[Tom Strange]

no need to go flog yourself hiway!

I saw Raf's post so I didn't read any higher up...

[hiway29]

I got really roasted for revealing something else recently, so I'm just not feeling good about it. I'll get over it.

[doojable]

You guys are MEAN! I mean, its only a movie. And hiway hasn't said even half of what I heard a movie reviewer say.

[Tom Strange]

guys? (plural?) I didn't think Raf was too hard on him... (like he said, maybe he was a little sensitive from the other incident)...

that being said, it probably wouldn't hurt to put "SPOILER ALERT" at the beginning of the post...

I don't think anyone's mad at hiway... now you on the other hand... aren't you supposed to be posting in the "movie pictionary" thread?

[Raf]

hiway, I apologize. I meant my comment to be more playful than it came off. That's why I included a smiley. See? :)

no need for apologies Raf, but thanks.

But I will be more careful in the future.
