Avatar - PG-13

This is definitely one of my new favorite movies. While sometimes the script was corny or overly ambitious, some serious themes are explored here. The Gaia philosophy--the belief that earth itself is one spiritual entity made up of distinct, separate organisms--is behind the religion and acts of the alien race. Ideas like corporate greed and degradation of the natural environment are apparent, and their negative externalities are captured masterfully by Cameron. While I did not like the oversimplification of Native American culture which was apparent in the depiction of the Na'avi, it was a useful plot device so that audiences could relate to the semi-human aliens. The motion capture of emotion on the CG creatures' faces was superb. This was definitely the finest animation I have ever seen! The 3D really adds an element of realism which I have never experienced in a film before. By the end of the film I just wanted to stay on Pandora! Overall, the movie was a masterpiece. Despite the negative criticism, Cameron has created a mind-blowing action epic with a powerful and emotional message relevant to our culture and our times.

I saw this movie. It was funny, but the cliche-ridden script made me sick.

Inglourious Basterds - R

Another summer hit. Great movie but many long scenes of dialogue, while extremely tense, drag at times. Finale makes up for it though. Stylized action was awesome, and the finale was super over-the-top. One shot in particular involving Hitler and two MP-40s is especially memorable, as is the Bear Jew scene. Definitely worth purchasing!

District 9 - R

Saw this one over the summer. While the 20+ year story lapse at the beginning can make it hard to follow for first-timers, the move gets more and more awesome as it goes along. Action was INTENSE and some of the main themes resonate for our times. Ending was a let-down--more concerned about a sequel than any real closure.

Highly Entertaining. While at some points the lapses in action leave you wondering when you get another (awesome) kill, the hilarious jokes and ridiculously epic finale make this film an instant zombie classic.

Siiick! Good thriller loaded with twists and turns. Not loaded with explosions and action by any means but good psychological and strategy factors. I definitely dig both the writing and the characters; especially Travolta's. He was such a badass cowboy!
