The Prestige

Totally AWESOME movie. Its one of those movies that keeps you flying by the seat of your pants, and its not with action sequence. Rather, it grips the audience with its intricately detailed plot, twists and cryptic dialogue. The entire movie seems to have based around the fictional 3 acts of magic. That is, the Pledge, the Turn and the Prestige. Its not easy to catch it while you're watching it, (like I said, you're flying by the seat of your pants), but its the kinda "OHHHhhh I gedddittt!!" that hits you 5 hours later when you're at home blogging. Watch out for those short, seemingly minute yet impactful scenes in the movie, these are the clues to understanding the plot.

For all of you who haven't caught this one yet, make it a point to catch it before its off the cinemas otherwise, you'll have to make do with a DVD. (Which is quite advantageous since you can watch it again and again and again...) There is little I can add to describe this movie except that its got a great plot, powerful actors, and a masterfully directed by Christopher Nolan. An excellent movie with much cinematic symbolism. 4.5 popcorns out of 5 from me!


Yeap! It was movie day. Met Sam @ cineleisure to catch the prestige. BK was supposed to join us, but did not make it in time. Spent a bit of time chit chatting and makaning after the movie as well... and we talked about.... "Basketball courts." Muahahaha. Thats our new Codename now. "Basketball Court." Sam, BK, you both are sworn to secrecy not to reveal the meaning of the codeword. =D

Still sick, but still out and about. Now I really feel my entire body aching and protesting. Its one of those, "can't move a muscle or it'll hurt" kinda ache. I'm trying to figure out if the aches are from the Badminton game or from the cold. Could be both... Thats not the annoying part. I can't smell all the good food I ate today. Now thats sad! Taste buds not very responsive either... darn. I need a massive dose of Vit C ASAP!

On the serious note. I feel a sharp pain in my back. Like a knife sticking out from it... I don't know why or who "placed" it there. Whether it was done on purpose or by accident. I don't know why it was done, and to what ends it was supposed to achieve. I am disappointed and rather pissed off. I guess its true that its hard to trust anyone these days. Whatever and Whoever, I Will Be Watching.
