Movie buffs: The Illusionist
 
Just watched it for the second time, and wow what a great movie. Edward norton is such a good actor, especially for the diverse roles he plays in ... Fight club, American History X, and now The illusionist.

the prestige is much, much better actually.

fight club ftw! the illusionist was really good though

The Illusionist was good, but I agree with Philip the Prestige was a better movie. The cameo by David Bowie as Tesla was very cool.

I thought they were different enough that i didnt need to compare them, I think I liked the illusionist more though.

but the cameo of bowie was worth everything for me. Im gay for bowie, in a totally hetero/hero kinda way.

I love that sirius radio commercial where he stole snoops chain.

Damnit, I went to hollywood video 2 nights ago after going to ball buster and movie gallery and was I walk up to the wall of prestige a guy grabs the last damn dvd on the shelf. SOB, just walked off with the other 5 movies he had in his hand. I want to see that pretty bad though. Sad thing is i ended up watching the Devil Wears Prada with the g/f instead....

illusionist is mediocre. i was a captive audience. granted I like whats-his-name but it was a little to m knight shyamalan.

really? I thought the prestige was very much more the gottcha shyamalan. but thats the genre so I didnt really think it was a fault. I really liked the idea of the whole movie happening in russia, its something I never expected from the previews and for me added a lot. also the class issues it raised was cool to.

I really liked them both but I think the illusionist edged out the prestige for me.

y8s 02-28-2007 08:05 PM

haven't seen the prestige

Prestige is wayyyy better, Bale is an awesome actor imo.

Yup, I agree with that. I watched them within a week of each other and while both are good movies, I give the nod though a slight one to the Prestige.

Fritch 02-28-2007 10:05 PM

I liked the Illusionist a lot, pretty unexpected good movie to me :bigtu:
