Apparently, the cast of twilight want a real director this time. Enter Van Sant, who's being recruited into the franchise by Robert Pattinson. Apparently, they want this last movie to be good; if that's the case they should get a new writer as well.…

Okay, Jakes brother was in training to be in the Avatar program. So why was he on Earth where he got killed? Shouldn't he have stayed on Pandora? It takes five years to get to Pandora so going back to Earth for a visit seems kind of silly.

And the Oscar goes to...



It's that time again. The big night is almost a week away and it's time to make the predictions that won't be right. The big categories are always obvious but the small ones are a mystery. If I'm wrong on March 7th feel free to tell me how much I suck.

"Edge of Darkness" is on the edge of greatness



"Edge of Darkness" Directed by Martin Campbell, Rated R, 117 minutes



"Edge of Darkness" is far from a perfect but none of those imperfections have are the fault of it's star Mel Gibson. After years of adultery, alienation, divorce, and drunken outbursts, Gibson has been preparing for a role like this and he delivers. He spends many moments intensely staring i… Continue

Last minute Oscar predictions



BEST PICTURE



Who the hell knows at this point. This race would have been complicated even with five nominees instead of ten. I would like to pick "The Hurt Locker" as the favorite for best picture, but sometimes the Oscars favor the big money makers over the small indies; the problem is figuring out when the Oscars are going to d… Continue

The Ten Best and Worst Movies of 2009!

The ten best and worst movies of 2009.

THE BEST

10. Public Enemies



The story of John Dillinger, one of our greatest bank robbers, told with amazing clarity and accuracy. Gotta love those tommy gun sound effects. The attention to detail, the all star cast and the kick ass photography made this summer action period piece fantastic.

9. Star Trek… Continue

"Daybreakers" review



What will happen to our society when all the petroleum based fuels are depleted? How will we drive to the store to get food? How will the food make its way to the grocery stores? Imagine being trapped in the same place for long periods of time because your vehicle operates on a fuel source that doesn't exist any more. These are the problems humanity will face if we do not find an alternative fuel source an… Continue

so you rented GAMER as well mate! well all I can say is it did actually give me a headache! but you never know it might work for you, some of the ideas in there were pretty decent if only the directors would stop thrashing the camera around. I think they have it in them to make a decent movie, Crank was fun but Crank 2 took the piss and until they give the hyperactive stuff a miss I think next time i'll pass.

You are correct sir!
BButton was masterful and so well done people just presume its makeup on a real actor! plus Jim Cameron pimps his technology to the max and makes more whizz bang spectacle movies but Benjamin Button Blew me away!

You know, in a way I can see what you mean about that. I personally think that about another 10 min was needed to show some scenes of "pre-Jake" on Pandora to set up a better understanding of what was going on. Where they really "terrorist", or was it just propoganda all along to sell the people back home? You have a valid point that the "terrorist aspect" was a plot-hole.

4) And I still state that the effects were used to TELL that story. Not that Avatar was ever going to change the way a story was told, or alter the way that a movie was written. It was going to change the way that the VISUALS were used to TELL that story, and the Visuals were used to SHOW us something that the script didn't need to go into because we JUST SAW IT HAPPEN. That's the "visual" way that Cameron tells his stories from the days of T1.

5) King of the World... is my worst dialog from a JC movie. But again, I wasn't expecting William Shakespeare level of writing.

6) It just puts their good movies into perspective.
That is true, it does. But, again Avatar itself isn't a HORRIBLE film. Will it be Cameron's "All time Best movie"? Of course not, that will either be T1 or Aliens. But at the same time, it's NOT a bad movie either. It's not something like a Friedberg/Seltzer movie, or even a Wayne's movie. And let's be fair about it, at least James Cameron's level of production values has stayed consistent enough that he's done a better job over the years than Lucas or M.Night, or a lot of OTHER directors.

Avatar, might not be a "Great Film", and I will agree to that one. And I will agree that it wasn't what you were expecting (or hopeful for) either. But it wasn't a "Bad" movie, or even an "Average" movie. The movie was at worst a "better-than-average" film, even if you lowered the CGI effects, which where the "industry changing" ones that everyone wanted to promote before the movie was in theaters.

1) I did like the Dark Knight, and still do. I pounced on everyone that wanted to claim that it was "perfect" and that it was a "classic" even when you presented them clear evidence of the faults that were found in the film. Unlike people who dislike Avatar, I can easily admit that I like Dark Knight and find it enjoyable... just NOT perfect.

2) And to me, Avatar is Cameron returning to what he was prior to Titanic. If anything, Titanic is much worse than Avatar with script and writing. I mean, really... you take the world's most famous ship sinking and had over an hour of a love-story that was not needed to make the movie about the World's most famous ship sinking? What the hell? As far as T2 goes? Well, honestly I find it almost on the same level as Avatar (Yes, I know I should bite my own tongue for saying that.... but wait). Look at T2 again. Is it really all that "Good"? Not really, it has a bunch of flaws and logical gaps that are there. But yet, it's still highly enjoyable to watch on a "basic movie" level that Avatar is. Which one of those two is "better"? Well, clearly T2 is a "better" film, but even T2 isn't nearly as good (or well made) as T1.

3) I don't see it as being "Corny" at all. In fact, it's production values are so high from first to last frame that "Corny" couldn't be considered as a description of the film. As far as the "cheesy dialog". I agree that some parts WERE cheesy. But I didn't expect William Shakespeare level scripting going into the theater, so I was willing to accept the few scenes where it happened, and most of those were from one character. Again, the Environmental themes have been in Cameron's movies since the time of Abyss if you look for them, so no surprise there either.

(Stupid comments now have a character limit. =( )
