Nothing like watching a Storm Trooper and a Tie Fighter Pilot dancing to pass the time in an exceptionally long line.

Tonight, Wen and I watched “The Prestige”, a flick starring a handful of my favorite actors (Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Scarlett Johansson and Michael Cane) by a favorite director (Christopher Nolan). Alas, I didn’t enjoy this flick so much. The never ended twists got old after awhile, and Nolan’s love of twisting time annoyed me repeatedly. Strangely, the film’s most outlandish conceipt didn’t annoy me as much as a simpler but unforeshadowed one. Plus, the final big reveal (of around ninety) was obvious way ahead of time.
