Moviejournal: the prestige

yesterday was especially chilling day for southeast queensland. out of nowhere the day started out like winter and even snow was reported further south, which was definitely a first for anybody. the global warming crap is finally getting to us. i should watch that alarmist film by al gore.

in other news, yesterday was the oz premier of the prestige. every magic trick involves three stages or acts: the pledge, the turn, and the prestige. the film unfolds with the great storytelling skills, weaving together plot development from different timelines seamlessly. acting was really good, that no finger guy is especially convincing. hugh jackman pulls off another strong performance, however he's only capable of expressing anger and disbelief. the act of killing oneself each night is a powerful one.
