I had a lot of fun watching it the first time and then again whenever it's on HBO, but it's not a film I ever think about once it's over, or felt motivated to buy for whatever reason. Definitely quotable, though it inspires me to shout things in a poorly executed british accent which I'm sure is annoying for everyone around me.<br /><br />And I didn't guess the twist to the prestige ... I guess i was just gullible enough to enjoy it.Warped Coastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297499412024653042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524334772494648795.post-21218678759276441922010-01-17T04:00:31.573-06:002010-01-17T04:00:31.573-06:00Am I the only person who was able to figure out th...Am I the only person who was able to figure out the plot twist to "The Prestige" within the first 20 minutes? If someone has a huge bushy beard, then they're hiding something. It's a well-made film, to be sure, but it felt very cold to me, like it existed for the sole purpose of its twists. And then I'm reminded of M. Night Shyamalan, and then I get pissed off, because I think about "The Village."<br />I'm with you on "Into the Wild." The book really made you feel something, while the movie made you wonder why Emilie Hirsch was such a selfish prick. He discovers as the end of the film that you need the love of other people, and it comes as this huge realization, thus re-affirming his selfishness, thus reminding me that I don't give a shit about this character. And I really hated how Sean Penn presented "city life," as if civilization is inherently evil. <br />And I have to agree with Brendan, "In Bruges" is the best film of 2008. I could quote that movie for hours.Professor Filmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06812173209470754022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524334772494648795.post-51110808615855529322009-12-17T08:25:11.680-06:002009-12-17T08:25:11.680-06:00copying*copying*Warped Coastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297499412024653042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524334772494648795.post-43126106878663662802009-12-17T08:24:54.569-06:002009-12-17T08:24:54.569-06:00looks like Night at the Museum just missed the cut...looks like Night at the Museum just missed the cut haha<br /><br />hahah Juice Box I'm not coping, damnnnnWarped Coastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297499412024653042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524334772494648795.post-26428068646388099702009-12-16T23:56:51.683-06:002009-12-16T23:56:51.683-06:00Did you make 50 and put them all in one post so yo...Did you make 50 and put them all in one post so you could be better than me?

It's a damn good movie, but I would put a lot from the decade in front of it, partially for the reasons you mentioned. And because I honestly still think There Will be Blood was the better film.<br /><br />Crash, on the other hand, tops my list of "Most Undeserved Recognition" for films in the '00s.
