Best Film of the Year

Originally uploaded by OctopusHat.

I’m a little upset that “The Prestige” did not get a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay from the Academy. The novel is not only very good, but reading it gave me a whole new appreciation for the film. The Nolan brothers know how to put together a script and even though the film differs from the book in major ways, the heart of both is still there and when taken in concert, the two works only serve to improve upon the other.
