Just my opinion.

All very good movies btw.

out of all those movies I seen the batman ones, and The Prestige as well as Memento, I would have to say Memento or Prestige would be at the top out of those movies.... considering their unique plots

On topic: Star Trek: ToS - The Tholian Web: 4/5 (for old TV)

I can only imagine the aliens' reaction when they spent like three hours weaving the Enterprise into an energy trap only to have the thing disappear into subspace or whatever. It'd be like:

Meanwhile, back on the Tholian ship...

"Wat."

Speaking of which, "The Dark Knight" - 8/10

I might've rated it higher before, but every time I see it I get a little more annoyed by the holier-than-thou message. As much as I like Heath Ledger's Joker, I miss the old Batman movies where bad guys dropped like flies and Batman would be like "no, please, don't" with that amount of enthusiasm when it came to trying to save one.

In this manner, I think "Batman Begins" was a little better. No matter what angle you look at it though, "The Dark Knight" is one of the best comic book movies of all time.

Thats what I hate.  Batman Begins was a way better movie (and directed by Nolan, yes) but Dark Knight gets all the attention and praise.

Maybe it'll come full circle in Batman 3. I'm missing the "I'm not going to kill you, but I don't have to save you" attitude. I mean seriously, they're movies. You don't have to keep the bad guys alive for the next issue each month, since you can always expect reboots every 10 to 20 years. I mean yeah, i found myself wanting to see more of Two-Face, yet they spent half the movie building him up only to kill him abruptly and let the Joker (without Ledger to follow up) live.

Bah!

Now that I've got bats on the mind, here's the cast I'm rooting for in Batman 3 (depending on which bad guys they pick)

Aaron Eckhart - Two-Face (I've always been in denial that he really died, even if they say he did; coma, maybe, sealing his insanity)
Timothy Spall - the Penguin
Cary Elwes - the Riddler (I'm like one of the few people who don't really see Johnny Depp in this role)
Wallace Shawn - the Ventriloquist
Edward Norton - Mr. Freeze
Jack Nicholson - Dr. Hugo Strange ('The Batman' TV version...the creepy old one voiced by Frank Gorshin; really going out on a limb here, I doubt Jack'd want to do another Batman, but it'd guarantee a ticket for me)
Bruce Campbell - The Creeper (the only actor I can think of who could pull it off; I think; could also do the actor-Clayface)
Mark Hamill - Clock King
???? - Firefly

Stumped for the bad gals. No doubt a lot of fans would choose the first pretty lady they could think of regardless of acting talent.

Of course, all this could be pipe dreams, but they're who I'd envision. Check imdb if stumped.

Am I the only one who thought the Prestige was rather meh?

ive got to admit the ending felt like a bit of a cheap-trick but he-ey, it gave one-last twist and a nice neat little tie-together.

It somehow never gripped me, despite good acting from Hugh Jackman and Ed Norton. And the end somehow really turned me down.

Good to see I'm not the only one mixing up those two magician movies

Knight and a day 8/10.
Was a bit (but juuust a little bit) disappointed after seeing the trailer, but still loved it.
Not THE best movie, but a good one for sure.

The Prestige - 8.5/10

Excellent film.

Watched through the Bourne trilogy yesterday.

Damn good films, especially the first, but by the end the whole shaky camera thing was really pissing me off.

Michael J. Fox jokes were made, I'm afraid...

8/10

I thought the Bourne movies were OK, but the fans have overhyped them on the internet.

If it wasn't for some of the more annoying camerawork, I'd file them right next to my Bond films.

Yeah I felt the same way. For the most part it wasn't really clever sleight of hand stuff, it was

a motherfucking spring-loaded bird crusher. I mean, I know nothing about magic, but I'm under the impression it takes slightly more skill than just having some cool toys.

The sorcerer's apprentice.

Im still wondering why I decided to go see a movie starring nic cage. It's not awful in terms of production, the plot itself SUCKS. IT'S THE SAME FUCKING SHIT AGAIN.
Socially awkward guy fancies hot girl. He gets embarassed infront of her/ girl does not like him. Supernatural shit occur to him, and then he has to save the world from destruction! He pulls that off, and then makes out with said girl.

I can name three, fucking THREE movies with their plots revolving around this^ concept. Fucking hell I want my money back. No wonder people pirate everything these days.
