WHY NOT FOLLOW ONE MAGICIAN MOVIE WITH ANOTHER? THE PRESTIGE AND THE ILLSIONIST WERE RELEASED BACK TO BACK. WHICH EVER EXECUTIVE THOUGHT THIS WAS A BRIGHT IDEA MUST BE OF THE IDEOLOGY THAT ROMANS AND CHRISTIANS CREATED THE LION BEFORE THE AUDITORIUM....JESUS INC.: "OH MAN, I'D HATE TO BE MILK FOR THAT CAT IN A LARGE CIRCULAR STADIUM." NERO: "HEY ZEUS (SON OF SAVIOR), YOU SAID ONE GOD, RIGHT?" I'M COMPARING THESE TWO FILMS PRIMARILY DUE TO THEIR CLOSE RELEASE DATES, BUT ALSO BECAUSE EACH MOVIE RECIEVED A "B" CRITIC REVIEW. THIS IS WHY I NAMED MYSELF "THE MOVIE JERK." ANY CRITIC WHO SUBMITS THE SAME GRADE FOR THE PRESTIGE AS HE, OR SHE, DID FOR THE ILLUSIONIST, CLEARLY THOUGHT COCAINE WAS THE GATEWAY DRUG TO A GIRL NAMED POT. I "COMPARE" THESE TWO FILMS BECAUSE EACH GOT AWAY WITH MURDER. SETTING CHRISTIAN BALE AGAINST HUGH JACKMAN, OR EXPECTING CHEMISTRY BETWEEN ED NORTON AND JESSICA BIEL, IS LIKE HAVING MEL GIBSON CO-DIRECT WITH WOODY ALLEN. ONE'S TALENT AND THE OTHER TURNED A FRANCHISE INTO AN OSCAR, ONLY TO PROVERBIALLY DEDICATE THE AWARD YEARS LATER TO A TEQUILLA WORM ON PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY. RENT THIS MOVIE AFTER, AND ONLY AFTER YOU'VE RENTED THE DREAM TEAM FIVE TIMES. THAT'S RIGHT... JUST BECAUSE.

Good Recommendation. Not for the Prestige, but for the Dream Team. And we all know that Michael Keaton sorely needs the press and he'll take it anywhere he can get it.
MICHAEL KEATON IS THE BEST ACTOR IS THE BEST ACTOR THIS WORLD HAS EVER SEEN. HE STOPPED THE COLD WAR WHEN HE CONVINCED RUSSIA TO QUIT DRINKING WITH 1988'S "CLEAN AND SOBER."
