I think the one in Prague was The Illusionist. I didn't see that one. The Prestige is about two stage magicians in London (and Colorado) in the late 1800s.

*nods sagely* I knew there was one in Prague, and one not; I really said "in Prague" more to find out if this one was or was not, than from any proclivity to believe it was.

Over the Hedge, great squirrel in that movie too.

Finally saw Troy, Excellent. they tweaked a few things and drastically cut down on the timeline of the trojan war, but it was still awesome.

I'm dubious about Troy, but I still want to see it.

I just saw Amélie. Simply fantastic. It was so charming, and cute, and funny, and well-made; practically a flawless movie. I must get a copy.

I know how you feel I was very skeptical, but Bana as Hector was good and Pitt actually pulled off a decent Achilles, and my personal favorite Sean Bean as cunning Odysseus.

Troy was pretty decent.

Amélie was great! I bought it without having seen it on the word of my dad, who said it was really good. I love it!

Be dubious...be very dubious. Ok, Bana was a very redeeming element...

Blech. What a stupid movie...and I haven't even watched it!

It has all the wrong elements for me:

Charming? I'm charming, I don't need movies to be charming for me. I imagine a typical British accent saying "Charming". Charming is overrated.

Cute? Oohh..Snuggly wuggly eh ...*honeyed voice*yeah, it's a cute puppie wuppie, yeah...C'est petite!

Funny? Yeah, real funny...that Amelie girl just cracks me up!

Well-made? Stopped being a factor for me. I've seen so many well-made stupid movies...

Flawless? We've already gone over the weaknesses!

Guy#1: Ya know that Amelie movie?
Guy#2: Ya?
Guy#1: Relly awesome. Like it has...naked people in it and stuff.
Guy#2: Suite.
Guy#1: Don't you mean, like, Sweet?
Guy#2: You could tell the diff'rence?
Guy#1: Dude, that's why I'm taking french, to be able to tell the difference between "C'est" and "C'est".
Guy#2: Ya know, thats pretty cool because most people will like, you know, they don't care about this kind of stuff any more. They're just dumb and they don't care about culture stuff.
Guy#1: Oh! I totally agree with you.
Guy#2: So the movie's kick-butt eh?
Guy#1: Ohhhhh yeah.

You're such a sophist, I won't even bother demolishing you.

You're also, from what I see here, a prude who automatically decides a movie is bad because it has nudity. The nudity is never done in a way that is 'exciting', as it were.
