Love Prestige.  Love Sunshine.  Love Clue.  Haven't watched Dances With Wolves for a decade or so... but I do have the extended version on DVD.  I guess I'll have to plan to revisit that one.  It's been a while since I've seen Tombstone too, so I'll have to make a date with the wife.

We didn't see the Illusionist for a couple of years after the Prestige... just couldn't imagine how it could compare.  They are actually quite different.  Different enough that both can coexist.  We liked it, and I'm generally a fan of Norton and Giamatti... but it is rather forgettable.  I insist everyone sees Prestige that hasn't.  I tend to forget Illusionist exists.

I love Dark City, so I looked into Proyas's other work...  I had never seen the Crow and I'd heard so much good about it, I picked it up.  I guess I just didn't get it.  It bored me and didn't appeal to me at all.  I Robot does seem to be more formulaic... but at least I enjoyed it.

Willow is really good. The last time I watched it, I had sort of forgotten that Kilmer was even in it.  I'm not sure how that happened since he is by far the best part of that movie.  I think I'll have to show that one to my kids soon.

Okay, now on to my movies.  I saw Moon... and I was extremely underwhelmed.  I thought that if this was an episode of the Twilight Zone, that it would have been "average".  Can someone explain to me what I missed?
