Recent Magical Movies
My girlfriend and I have watched a lot of movie lately, some together, some I’ve watched by myself. Some were magical, some average, but mostly decent at the very minimum.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (#61 on IMDb) was freaking phenomenal. So beautiful. That and Slumdog Millionaire (#46 on IMDb) are my two favorite movies this year. Just wanted to make that clear since I recently said that only Slumdog was my favorite of 2008, but that was before I had a chance to watch TCCoBB and I figured that it was too late for another movie to be as good as that.
Other movies I’ve bought and enjoyed recently, both by Tim Burton: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The latter I watched for the very first time with my girlfriend and we both enjoyed it immensely! In fact, we loved it.
Then there’s the classics like Dumb & Dumber and Forrest Gump.
The Basketball Diaries with Leonardo DiCaprio was heartbreaking. That guy can sure act! One of our favorite movies to watch together is Catch Me If You Can. On that note we’ve also bought What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, which I’ve always wanted to watch.
Yes Man (Jim Carrey) was so good we wanted to watch it twice at the cinema. And we did. That leads me to The Truman Show, which should get here soon.
Then there’s Memento, which I’ve only watched once a few years ago.
So many movies…
Tying Your Shoes 2.0
Recently learned to tie my shoes faster, but that seems like kid’s stuff now after watching this guy somehow tying his own shoes with NO HANDS. It’s a magic trick of course, but pretty cool. The reaction he gets are really powerful. Oh and it’s called Self-tying Shoelace by Jay Noblezada and can be bought here: Link.
UPDATE: Ok, I officially hate myself. First I spelled the text in the image wrong (showelace) and then in the text itself (self-trying). Sigh.. guess it’s one of those days.
UPDATE #2: Oh my God, I can’t even type my misspellings without further misspelling. I give up. :(

This guy is simply amazing. Forget David Blaine or David Copperfield. Wait ’till you see what kind of magic tricks this guy can do!

Magic At Its Best
A clip from a tv-show on Japanese TV. I’d love to know how he did that!
