    Dude similar in that they have magic involved.

    Plots are so far away from each other that other than the period they were set - they have nothing else in common

    My pick would be the prestige...the illusionist was so forgettable, in fact I don't remember much about it apart from having Ed Norton in the starring role.

    In the prestige I liked Christian Bale's character, the sacrifice he was willing to commit to just for the sake of his art.

    The Prestige was awesome.

    Animal House vs. Old School

    Along with the fact that Old School completely ripped off everything from Animal House, got to go with Animal House!

    Back to boxing though, how about that WBC tripleheader in Kobe, Japan last month? Great fights, I loved the Ao KO4.

    The Prestige was far better than The Illusionist.

    Illusionist was decent.

    Prestige was elite.
