Over/Under Movies Episode 21: Sherlock Holmes & The Prestige

Over/Under Movies

"Are you listening closely?" Magic is in the air in the new episode of Over/Under Movies as our critics discuss two movies that deal with magic and illusion. First off, 2009's cynical cash grab Sherlock Holmes gets a beating from the critics after becoming a huge hit with audiences for some reason and even garnering some positive reviews. Then we move onto Christopher Nolan's pre-Inception ode to the magic of filmmaking with 2006's "The Prestige" as we also talk about the unfair Nolan backlash that's going on these days. As usual, thank you for listening, please send us your comments so we can improve the show and look forward to new episodes when our insightful Portland-based film critics will discuss one overrated and one underrated film within the same genre or style.
