Merry Christmas guys!

I am wishing everyone a joyous Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

This appears to be quite early but I make it a point to do this right now so that I won't forget greeting you guys at all. Besides, my schedule is kinda tough, considering that there are tons of work to do to beat deadlines at work and beating the Xmas rush hour. Also, I still have gazillions of gifts to wrap and nephews and nieces to visit (and give those gifts to). Pretty hectic really but I am not complaining because I love every second of it.

It is refreshing to see the huge smiles and innocent voices of those little rascals once again, that's why I can't wait to see them this weekend. Whew! I am sure you guys are also busy with your respective Xmas routines. Let's all celebrate the season with love, hope, and faith.

Merry Christmas everyone!

The Prestige

I really think that The Prestige is a great movie. First and foremost, Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale did a superb job in playing the role of the two illisionists who are competing against each other for that coveted fame, to the point that the their obsession with magic has brought their lives and those around them to ruin.

Scarlett Johansson also did a good job though her role was kinda minor. Nevertheless, she was able to make her every scene count despite the fact that she was confined by the character she is playing. Surely, Scarlet could do better than that but since that was what was required of her, she only did what she had to do.

The storyline is great considering that it's Christopher Nolan's work we are talking about here. There were just little nitty-grittys in the middle part that I find boring and dragging. However, the scenes towards the ending were greatly executed.

All in all, great movie. I enjoyed it.
