Snakes and Magic Back to Blog
Okay…this post is going to be about movies because, well, I love movies. (Movies rank third on my obsession list–after books and chocolate.)
Last weekend, I had the pleasure (and, yes, I’m being serious, not sarcastic) of seeing Snakes on a Plane. So. Much. Fun. Sure, it was a bit graphic at times–definitely not a movie for the kiddies, but it was GREAT! I am such a Samuel L. Jackson fan! Put Samuel in plane full of snakes–basically snakes hyped on crack–and you have a sure-fire winner of a movie. No, the flick isn’t going to win an Academy Award–but who cares? It was a fun film!
Now, on to other films that I am greatly anticipating…magic films (and I mean honest-to-goodness movies about magic). First up, The Illusionist starring Edward Norton. Forbidden (possibly doomed love) and a magician with unbelieveable illusions…how can I pass this one up? Next on my agenda (all right–next when it releases in October) is The Prestige. Starring Michael Caine and Hugh Jackman, The Prestige promises awe-inspiring magic…but not just parlor tricks. The preview hints that the magic may be all too real.
Very exciting–it’s been far too long since I saw a good “magic” film. Actually, I don’t think I can remember the last magic movie I watched. Anyone out there know of a few good ones?

The Prestige sounds very interesting. Hugh Jackman looks good in anything and Michael Caine acts good. *g* Actually, Hugh Jackman acts pretty damn good too. I’ll probably see that.
Thanks for the heads up, Cynthia. I love Samuel L. Jackson and The Prestige sounds great.
You cannot believe how long ive been googling for something like this. Scrolled through 10 pages of Google results and couldnt find anything. First page of bing. There was this…. Really gotta start using that more often
