This really is turning in to a 'movie blog,' as much as I don't want that to be the main content. . . .

I watched The Prestige yesterday, and thought it was fantastic. Christopher Nolan is a very competent director, and I'm becoming sort of a 'fan' for his flicks. Plus, Batman and Wolverine in the same movie?! Holy crap. Also, Michael Caine is one of the most talented actors. As Woody Allen said back in the day, Michael Caine is one of those few people who can do both comedy and drama, and do them well. A rare breed--he can do no wrong.

Tonight I saw The Ex for free in the theater, and it was mildly entertaining. Zach Braff plays, well, himself. I like Amanda Peet. This movie was, as expected, extremely formulaic. No curve balls, some lethargic scenes that could've easily been cut. This could've been a sweet forty minute episode of Scrubs, but instead it's ~90 minutes of frustration with the occasional quirky joke.

If you ever need a good laugh, read some of Ebert's reviews of terrible movies. His Zero Star reviews. Here's a couple hilarious ones: Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, Jaws the Revenge, and Freddy Got Fingered.
