This particular move was &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0865556\/\">Forbidden Kingdom<\/a>&#8220;.  However, we missed the showing, so we ended up hanging out around Little Rock.<\/p>\n<p>We decided to try again the next day at the local movie theater, only to be distraught when learning that they only show movies at 9:00 on Friday or Saturday. =\/   So, Will and I, with Jason in tow decided to rent a movie instead.  After perusing the aisles at the local Rental Centre, we decided on &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0482571\/\">The Prestige<\/a>&#8221; (it&#8217;s one of those two movies about magic that turned up around the same time, the other being &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0443543\/\">The Illusionist<\/a>&#8220;, which I haven&#8217;t seen).  A quick trip to Will&#8217;s house provided us with a large plasma screen to view said movie on.  The Prestige turned out to be a really good movie, but it was also fairly weird in it&#8217;s use of non-continuous plot presentation.  There were multiple times throughout the movie where you would suddenly go back or forward in time, and it would take a while to realize it.  Despite the drawback, the story was really good, and I would definitely recommend it.<\/p>\n<p><b>Movie One<\/b> (The Prestige):  <b><i>B+<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Being a bit disgruntled at not being able to see The Forbidden Kingdom two days in a row, Will, Jason, and I made a pact to <i>be sure and see the movie at 7<\/i>.  So, on Wednesday, we all went to the Morrilton theatre and paid our $6 to get in (which is rather disappointing, that theatre has charged $5 for non-matin\u00c3\u00a9e movies as long as I can remember).  It turns out that our determination to see the movie was well-rewarded, because the movie was really good.  Of course, it&#8217;s the normal &#8220;over-the-top&#8221; kung-fu movie, but that would detriment is overtaken by the fact that it has both <b>Jackie Chan <i>AND<\/i> Jet Li<\/b>. =O<\/p>\n<p>Basically, what I&#8217;m saying is that the story elements were a bit lacking, at best, but the martial artistry was in full force, and the choreography was top-notch.
