Chrissy and I went to see The Prestige<\/a> last Sunday, and I gotta say, it’s a GREAT movie. <\/p>\n

Written and Directed by Chistopher Nolan (of Memento, Insomnia, and Batman Returns fame) this movie tells the story of 2 competing Magicians in the late 1800s. Like Nolan’s “Memento”, the movie does not run in chronological order, but jumps back and forth between flashbacks and “current” time. Even with story being told in a “jumpy” manner, the flow of the story is not interupted and is still easy to understand. The movie’s visuals, costumes, and acting are stunning (as is Scarlett Johannson as a magicians assistant) and the world in which this story takes place borders on history and fantasy.<\/p>\n

The Prestige<\/a> is a very entertaining movie with unexpected twists and a nicely “wrapped up” plot at the end which doesn’t leave you asking questions, or finding plot holes. Go see this movie.<\/p>\n

I give it 4 out of 5 stars.<\/p>\n

Oh wait, did I mention that David Bowie plays Nicola Telsa in the movie?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
