Controversial opinion of the night: Chris Nolan's best film is The Prestige.


The Prestige for me was a bitterly disappointing experience. Mainly because most of it was so good. The ending undid it completely for me. The build-up, I agree, was excellent, and kept me intrigued. The other cinematic elements also worked well; the acting was good, the cinematography sharp, and the structure in particular very effectively used. And then came the ending.

Spoiler



Just because it hasn't been mentioned at all - I think Insomnia is also a very good film, and easily as good as The Prestige.

The last 40 seconds are the best imo :biggrin:.
Filmography 2010 was far, far better in scene sync, music and general flow. Still good though.
The Prestige is an uneven film that shines and all falls flat in several places. I can understand what people see in it, but The Dark Knight and Inception are better films.

I really enjoyed Rise of the Planet of the Apes, it was so much better than I thought it would be. You actually liked Hanna? I didn't like it that much because it didn't really have a plot, and the end scene imo was very anti-climactic. Why on earth did she even have to alert the government to her location :sigh:.

Anyone else think that the Tree of Life was incredibly self-indulgent?


Yeah, Apes was one of the biggest surprises of the year for me. Went in expecting to hate it because of that god-awful trailer, and it was really a strong film. Hanna is one of my favourite films of the year, I loved it.

I wasn't as speechless when I was watching it, but I still think it's pretty amazing and it's still seems really fluid to me. I can't even begin to contemplate how long it must take to make something like that.
I must say the Harry Potter one i discovered by going to his channel gives me chills.

Writing an essay about the American Dream whilst watching The Land Before Time. The word count is suffering because the film is so damn good.

Saw My Week With Marilyn today, didn't like it at all. Fine enough performance from Michelle Williams but the film bored me to death.


I saw it this evening and Kenneth Branagh not convincing as Larry Olivier.

That was one of the main things I really hated! I had expected better of Branagh too.

The Woman In Black is coming out sometime next year. I assumed it was in Spring, but it might have been pushed back.
