Prestige for me.

Pans labyrinth is subtitled but had a good review from J.Ross.

I'm going to see Pans this weekend, I saw the Prestge a couple of nights ago and really enjoyed it, so for that reason I would say go and see it

Cant wait for Prestige to come out on hd-dvd seeing as its a WB film, should be stunning.

thanks guys

i chose THE PRESTIGE. Im not sure if everyone did, but i guessed the "twist" about half way thru as soon as (spoiler) the machine created many copies of the hat. It was also obvious that the other guy was his brother.. It wasnt quite a sixth sense ending. I still really enjoyed it though for the atcing and some of the reveals of magic.

Glad you enjoyed it

Great cast and performances, I to saw the "twist" early on, but didnt affect the film. I look foward to the DVD/HD-DVD release soon

Does it tell you how they make the bird cage just disapeare? I've always wanted to know that one....

discostewart · 24-11-2006, 7:47 PM

yes and i will tell u if u like but u really really really arent going to like it... if u intend to se ethe film aswell it might be worth watiing, but here u go...

SPOILER !

the cage is collapsable with sharp inner edges. they put the cloth over slam their fist down on the cage, the cage collapses and kill sthe bird. The cage sfall into a very shallow secret hole in the table. Because the coplllapsed cage and squashed bird are so thin they fit into it. They then push the fake table lid back over the bird. (imagine a secret drawer setinto the table. The reason most people coudlnt work it out in victorian times is cause they never believed they would have killed the bird for the trick. They woudl then pull out the "brother" bird from their sleeve.

END

by the way i was shocked to read DAVID BOWIE played Nicola Tesla, not only was he very good but i didnt recognise him in the slightest !
