Bowie plays Nikola Tesla, who helps Hugh Jackman's character develop a new magic trick. The role of Tesla is cool because he was a real scientist, and the role is written so that it shows what a bully Thomas Edison was to all other scientists who were inventing at the same time he was. Bowie is actually fairly impressive in this role, and I almost didn't recognize him at first. The film as a whole was awesome, so to have a gem like Bowie's cameo hidden in there is just an added bonus. If you need one reason to go see The Prestige, then David Bowie is it.
Her book The Rest Falls Away is being released today, and I'm giving it a big &hearts &hearts &hearts &hearts &hearts! After finishing the book this weekend, I found it incredibly exciting, and definitely a page turner. Coming from me this is surprising for most people, since I tend to read comedic novels, and non-fiction, and this is a historical vampire serise. So, I'm proud to say that I think anyone can enjoy the book. Featuring a sassy female lead, and stellar plot, I was hooked from page one.
