Saw The Prestige this afternoon.
I really liked it, despite being very predictable. I thought, anyway.
Like the director, like Bale and Jackman, love the always underused Caine, love Scarlett Johansson's rack, and it had David frickin' Bowie in it.
The story was nicely convoluted, but I kept seeing what was going to happen, and I don't think I was supposed to.
So I feel pretty clever right now. Or, dare I say, prestigious? Yay, me.
But it's exactly like any magic trick. When you know how it's done, it's not magic, anymore.
When I can see every storyline twist coming, it takes some of the magic out of it.
