The story follows Robert Angier and Alfred Borden, rival stage magicians in fin de siècle London. Obsessed with creating the best stage illusion, they engage in competitive one-upmanship with tragic results.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">The film features Christian Bale as Alfred Borden, Hugh Jackman as Robert Angier, and David Bowie as Nikola Tesla. It also stars Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson, Piper Perabo, Andy Serkis, and Rebecca Hall. The film reunites Nolan with actors Bale and Caine from Batman Begins, and returning cinematographer Wally Pfister, production designer Nathan Crowley, and film score composer David Julyan.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">Priest's epistolary novel was adapted to the screen by Christopher and Jonathan Nolan using Nolan's distinctive nonlinear narrative structure. Themes of duality, obsession, sacrifice, and secrecy pervade the conflict. The film was released on October 20, 2006, receiving good reviews and strong box office results, and obtained Academy Award nominations for Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction. Along with The Illusionist and Scoop, The Prestige was one of three films in 2006 to explore the world of stage magicians.</p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prestige_%28film%29">The Prestige Film on Wikipedia</a><br /><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482571/">The Prestige Film on IMDB</a>Clark Kenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09709905434470259076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203681190446963886.post-23385028465487954362007-12-20T07:39:00.000-08:002012-06-07T14:29:13.873-07:00The Time Machine Movie<object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jtfqfwz11FQ&rel=1"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jtfqfwz11FQ&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Genre: Science Fiction</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">The Time Machine</span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"> is a 2002 science fiction film directed by Simon Wells as a remake of The Time Machine (1960), and starring Guy Pearce, Jeremy Irons, Orlando Jones, Samantha Mumba, Mark Addy, Sienna Guillory, and Phyllida Law with a cameo by Alan Young from the earlier film.

Wells.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">Alexander Hartdegen is a young scientist who lives in 1899 New York City. Obsessed with the idea of time travel and convinced that it is theoretically possible, he teaches at Columbia University as a professor of "Applied Mechanics and Engineering" and often gets into trouble for his free-thinking, radical theories. It is also stated that he was a pen pal of Albert Einstein. As Alexander rushes to the park to meet with his girlfriend Emma, he pauses to buy flowers; however, this notion is soon lost when he becomes embroiled and excited about an early motor car which has pulled up beside the park gates. He puts himself in immediate good fortune with the driver who, while refueling, forgot to activate the parking brake – something Alexander does quickly when it threatens to shoot off, out of control.<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Time_Machine_%282002_film%29">The Time Machine on Wikipedia</a><br /><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0268695/">The Time Machine on IMDB</a><br /></span>Clark Kenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09709905434470259076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203681190446963886.post-48953266950025713122007-12-14T17:45:00.000-08:002012-06-07T14:29:13.873-07:00Robocop Movie<object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JG_bCzwvRqE&rel=1"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JG_bCzwvRqE&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Genre: Science Fiction</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">RoboCop is a 1987 science-fiction, superhero action movie and satire of unrestrained capitalism, directed by Paul Verhoeven.
