Fantastic movies...

Do you like movies that, when the screen goes blank at the end, make you say: “What the…?!” I have just what you need! If you haven’t seen one of these three movies, then go to a video club because they, my friends, are going to blow your mind:

The Prestige

This movie, directed by Christopher Nolhan, tells the story of two magicians: Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale). The story takes place in London. Alfred Borden and Robert Angier are two very talented magicians. Since they were kids they have always been in a competition with each other. But when Angier’s wife drowns while trying to escape from a Chinese water torture cell during a performance, he accused Borden of bounding her wrists with a knot that was too difficult to untie. At that moment, they become arch rivals in their careers as magicians.
This movie is going to torture your mind to find who’s playing who. The roles are always reversed, and you’d better pay attention to what you see! Because it’s all about illusion, don’t forget you are in a magicians’ world!

Inception

If you have not heard of this movie it’s because have been hiding in your attic for the past year! This film directed by Christopher Nolhan (again!) is one of my favorite of the year, and it’s also the most complicated one to explain. So don’t be discouraged if you find my summary has no sense! Dom Cobb (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) is a thief: he steals secrets from people while they’re asleep. But, in order to have his old life back, he needs to perform a new kind of job: inception. His aim is to put an idea in someone’s head during their dreams so that they believe the idea is their own. So, with his team, he tries the impossible, but the mission gets even harder because of an unexpected enemy.
This movie is so interesting that you’re not going to be able to take your eyes from the screen. The cast is perfect, the atmosphere is intense and the story is just awesome! You can’t get bored! And what happens at the end? You’re going to love hating it!

Shutter Island

And last but not least, a thriller directed by Martin Scorsese (The Master of the genre) which is going to turn your brain upside down! The movie takes place in 1954, when Marshal Teddy Daniels and his partner Chuck Aule are sent to investigate a disappearance in a psychiatric hospital on Shutter Island. The most dangerous people are committed there. And, because of a storm, the partners are forced to stay on the island to investigate with a staff that is not really very cooperative…
This movie made me hold my breath for more than an hour, seriously! You are transported on this island with DiCaprio and you do believe you could get committed to the asylum after watching it! But don’t be afraid… Just be prepared to sleep with the lights on for one or two nights! I’m (not) just kidding…

Well, if you still don’t know what to watch on Saturday nights, you know what to do now!
