You know Gee,,,I have to agree with you wholeheartedly on that one.
 The last quarter of the movie was a real mindscrew.
I loved it. But im also a big Christian Bale fan from as far back as Shaft where he played a racist murdering rich kid.
I keep my standards low.
That way im never disapointed.

The Prestige (2006)
  Hugh Jackman Scarlett Johanson Christian Bale
A magician and illusionist indulges in a one upmanship game with tragic consequences.
  Pretty good 8.7/10

Did you check it out because I posted it in the Movie thread?

And I'm going to see Avatar tonight...

Here's hoping it isn't 2.5 hours of suck.

They wont play it around here, it isnt from Pixar or some urban chick flick.
 I know Avatar has to be good,, the fan boys are trashing it,, so it has to be a masterpiece.

What fanboys? If you mean the kids who actually think it has something to do with the anime, IT DOES NOT. It is a completely different story, and I just couldn't convince my buddies today to see it, dammit. :( They all though it was a poor adaptation of the anime.

Im talking about the usual pimply faced nerd geeks who watch nothing but sci fi and anime and think they know everything about whats going on in the movie industry.
Ive allways found it a rule of thumb that if these basement dwellers hate something that its going to be good.
Like the Matrix movies,, they all hated it,, BUT I guarantee you that they all have it on dvd and seen them a million times.
Same as the Star Wars movies,, they rip it a new arse,, then they end up secretly liking it.
Soooo,, from what Ive read from the pimple brigade,, they hate it and find everything wrong with that movie,, so it ought to be good.
I keep my standards low.

I think I saw the promo on GI Joe. M Night Shyamalan ( sp) is doing it,, so it ought to suck .
He does have quite the track record for " good" movies.

IMO anything that changes anime to something else has to be an improvement. Then again, I hate anime.
I'll watch avatar, but I find James Cameron very hit and miss, but I'll go in with an open mind and see if I enjoy it or not.

Why didnt Bolt do better in the theaters? I just watched it and it was wonderful. I would strongly recommend it to adults and kids alike. 7/10

I've seen it today (again, cause I've seen it 132 times already with a 4 years old) and I marveled on how good it is.
