The Prestige Movie Review

At the beginning of the movie Michael Caine says that every magic trick consists of three acts: "the Pledge, in which a seemingly real situation is set up, the Turn, in which the initial reality is challenged, and the Prestige, where all is set right again." It's a movie about two magicians Alfred Borden played by Christian Bale and Robert Angier played by Hugh Jackman. These two magicians are initially used as plants by another magician called Milton the Magician (Ricky Jay), with Cutter (Michael Caine) as his illusion engineer. Angier's wife,Julia, falls into a Chinese Torture Box during a show and dies. This starts a bitter rivalry between Angier and Borden because Angier blames Borden for the death of Julia. After the fight the two magicians start two separate careers and Borden becomes popular with a coveted trick called 'The Transported Man'in which he bounces a ball across the stage before stepping through a door and instantly reappearing from a second door on the opposite side of the stage to catch the ball. Obsessed with obatining the trick, Angier plants Olivia (Scarlett Johansson) in Borden's camp. Borden and Olivia fall in love and Olivia cheats Angier, which results in Angier losing a leg. So, as retribution Cutter and Angier bury Fallon, Borden's aid alive. In exchange for the location of the coffin Borden gives the key encrypted diary, which contains the details the transported man. The key-Tesla. So, Angier treks into the snows of Colorado to visit the hidden laboratory of the (real-life) Nikola Tesla (David Bowie), who may have manufactured the trick for Borden.

The Prestige by Chris and Jonathan Nolan has nearly everything except The Prestige. It's more like a trick about a trick, which was kind of disappointing. However, an ensemble cast, good performances and quite a lot of magicmakes The Prestige a nice watch.

Silence of the lambs ...Movie Review

Not too many movie characters have inspired in us a terror that Dr.
Hannibal Lecter, brilliant psychiatrist portrayed brilliantly by Sir
Anthony Hopkins actually did when we saw 'The Silence of the
Lambs'. Silence of the Lambs is based on the book by the same name by
Richard Harris. The introduction of Hannibal Lecter in the movie is a
testament to Jonathan Demme's skills as a director. Jodi Foster as
Clarice Starling, a FBI trainee who is sent to Dr Lecter to seek
advice on how to catch a serial killer known as Buffalo Bill, plays
her part to perfection.

We felt that the showdown between Clarice Starling and Buffalo Bill
could have been made more believable. Apart from this minor flaw, this
movie deserves every acclaim it has received and has won the Oscar for
Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Best
Actress.

Dr Hannibal Lecter is one character that will not go out your head for
a long time and this is certainly a movie which is a must watch.
