The Prestige...

Hello friends...

I again only saw one movie... The Prestige with an all star cast. I loved this movie. It was a fictional movie, but had some historical accuracy. Set in the late 1890's two magicians are competing to be the best. There is a rivalry that turns somewhat dangerous and creepy. In the end all is revealed, and there are some surprises.
Scarlett Johansen was used very well as the sexy assistant and both Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale are nice to look at. Michael Caine is amazing as always... I give this a B+

Man of the Year

Hello Readers,

I only saw one movie Man of the Year. Another C+ movie. Robin Williams runs and wind the presidency, but Laura Linney realizes he never really one. It's all about a cover up and not about being president. False advertising if you ask me. It needed a lot more jokes, and if this were my movie, actually having a comedian as president. Making fun of foreign policy, but having the U.S. be a super power and respected. That would have been my rewrite.
Well, this is silverpaltters sigining off...

Sunshine on a cloudy day

I saw Little Miss Sunshine. This movie was so great. I had a minor meltdown after seeing it. Basically, Steve Carell tried to kill himself because he felt he nothing to live for. And, saw his ex and the guy who pretty much stole his life. I could totally relate. Then, the family with the motivational speaker trying to make $$$. And their fights, and the kid with a dream who hates his family, and a beauty pageant, and Alan Arkin make this movie awesome. I liked the whole plot. I hope the academy gives this a nod for screenplay. Very well done. Well, this is silverplatters signing off.

The Departed

Hello Friends,

See being single has me at least blog. KK Met a hottie. I have no plans but to fantasize about him. But, hey he is damn hot.

K, now back to the important stuff. The Departed, LOVED IT!! I loved Leo D. in this role. He's an undercover cop in Boston and there is a dirty cop, Matt Damon, who is trying to sniff him out. The cast is amazing and the directing stellar. Alec Baldwin has a bit part which I love, and Jack is scary scary. He plays a good criminal. There are a few twists and turns, but basically easy to follow and an easy 2:45, yep almost 3 hours, but well worth it. I'd pay$ 6.00 for it.

Jet Li's movie Fearless was good, I was just tired so I missed some. It's subtitled so be prepared to read. I know some do not like to read. It was about a Chinese hero in 1910. I liked it. But I missed some crucial parts. So I need to rent it.
Anyway, this is silverplatters signing off.
