Avatar - In glorious 2D on Blu-Ray. :thumbsup: Total cornball movie but the cliches are all handled deftly, and it looks pretty awesome even without the 3D hoo haw. It was a nice entertaining movie. Far more entertaining than Cameron's last feature.

I guess I will shell out the extra coin to go see a 3D version soon, since it's being milked all summer. The Sgt. Major. is a great over the top villain. The script is straight outta McKee-ville, but that's not always a bad thing.

:cool:  :homestar: :area52: :cthulu: :nerd: :nerd:
:p

Grey Fox

3D is not great, it added nothing to the movie, imvo.
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

I've seen a few 3rd movies and don't see it as worth the extra money.  At this point I don't consider 99% of movies in general worth theater prices for that matter.
PDH!

Avatar is the only movie I've seen in 3d but I thought it was pretty impressive.  Am glad I saw it in 3d instead of a regular theatre.

Taken, liked it.
Last Castle, again, still decent.
Got my Avatar BlueRay, will watch again soon.

Destry Rides Again (1939)

Jim-Jimmy Stewart stars as Tom Destry; the son of a legendary lawman who doesn't like guns.  Regardless he's made deputy of the wide open town of Bottleneck; at first he's subject to ridicule and abuse but in the end he's cleaned up the town.  A number of the films key points were later appropriated by Mel Brooks for "Blazing Saddles."  Marlene Dietrich also stars in the film as a bar room singer; her cat fight with Una Merkel alone is worth the price of admission.  :perv:
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Kick ass- enjoyed it 3 scuba wetsuit wearing superheroes out 4
date night- good cast in weak script, entirely forgettable film...wait what was I talking about?
Hot tub time machine- low expectations going into it, but was a fun way to waste 90mins. Course having hetero man crush on John Cusack since 1986 helps.

It is true 3D.
Or sort of.
Certainly not the 50s technology.

It was ok. I wasn't upset at my lost two hours.

Just about to tackle Polanski's 'Macbeth'.

I don't think I'm cultured enough to have an opinion on it, even after I've finished watching it. :(
It's one fucked up Shakespeare film.  I prefer Orson Welles's Macbeth.

Well, at least it is not like that crappy '80s 3D with the likes of Amityville 3D or Jaws 3D.

You know what was ironic about the Blind Side?

Here is this story about this down and out kid, tough life, and how he manages to avoid criminals and gangs and drugs and stay in school and get a scholarship to play football in college and everything.

And then he ends up on the Ravens anyway.
