i heart edward norton. and christian bale. and hugh jackman. and .. david bowie.
how good was the illusionist? very.
i love going to the movies. i love that potential of having to buy a new dvd in four months. my only problem is i get hooked and want to see it again, but i can't always afford paying 8 bucks everytime i want to see the film.

“every great magic trick consists of three acts.
the first act is called the pledge. the magician shows you something ordinary, but of course, it probably isn’t.
the second act is called the turn. the magician makes this ordinary something do something extraordinary. now you’re looking for the secret. but you won’t find it.
that’s why there’s a third act called the prestige. this is the part with the twists and turns - where lives hang in the balance. and you see something shocking you’ve never seen before."
we saw another trailer for a movie called the prestige, directed by christopher nolan and starring hugh jackman and christian bale. (wolverine and batman in one movie. )
the premise of the film is taken directly from wikpedia:
"set in late 19th century london, the film tells of rupert angier (hugh jackman), a popular american magician, with his british mentor harry cutter (michael caine) and girlfriend and assistant olivia (scarlett johansson), who is in a friendly rivalry with cockney magician alfred borden (christian bale). wowever, it soon turns into a jealous rivalry, as rupert tries to discover the secrets of alfred's success. it soon emerges though he may have real magical powers."
it looks much better than this summary lets on, trust me. see the trailer for yourself here.
