Avatar was awesome!

I watched Avatar a few weeks back and it was AWESOME! Those “animators” from G.I. Joe should really learn a thing or two from watching Avatar. It’s movies like these that put movies like G.I. Joe to shame. Why is it that movies with great titles always suck? Anyways… What a complete movie! Story was above average, animation was great, and the fantasy world design was great. If you haven’t watched it yet, go watch it now in 3D!

Winterbreak Movies

Well well, haven’t posted in a while, but wanted to give a few quick movie recommendations. Some people may find them to be a little old and dusty, but a little dust shouldn’t stop you from watching it. They’re still relatively new.

Frost / Nixon – Loved it. Watch it. I think people who have no interest in politics would find this movie to be very boring, otherwise you’ll love it.
The Invention of Lying - I wouldn’t recommend it. If you’re open minded to an alternate view, then be my guest.
Star Trek - Loved it. Watch it. Too much to say, just watch it. You’ll like it.
Surrogates – I would recommend you to skip this movie. I turned it off half way through the movie.

The Last Air Bender Movie Will Fail

About a year ago, Dragonball Evolution came out in theaters and it failed horribly. Theaters even dropped it from their line up- epic fail. It was doomed to begin with, especially when you use a Caucasian person to act as an Asian character. What is up with that? Using a white guy to play the main character who is OBVIOUSLY Asian. You would expect other directors to learn from this, but… Now we have another white guy playing the star role of Avatar: The Last Air Bender. Gosh, it does not take an idiot to realize that the main character, Aang, is Asian! It seems like Hollywood would take any chance they have (and does) just to portray a white guy as the hero.
