Watched Avatar on blu ray on friday and was worried about the hype surrounding it would lead to the usual disappointment.
I got nervous at the start as i got an odd feeling i was watching an entirely cgi generated film but it quickly drew me in and it melded beautifully into a spectacular, visual treat. Thought it was a good story well executed and once again Cameron has delivered the goods. Hollywood execs must wet themselves when he comes up with ideas.
Although a long film,like all good long films it flew by...
8.8/10
I thought it was even better on DVD than in cinema which is rather strange. Perhaps I just forgot how good it was.

Saw Hot Tub Time Machine at the weekend. Nearly works but doesn't quite somehow and probably the first of a few The Hangover wannabe movies to come out this year. Just all a bit rushed somehow and the free-for-all comedy scenes don't work. Also, miscast imo. John Cusack is usually good but he is not a comedy actor. Seth Rogen in this role ftw. Just about worth a look though.

Apparently they were just accepting people first come first served - not difficult to work out that they can just CGI the backgrounds whenever there's anything you don't like in the crowd scenes

i thought this was good. watched it in a cinema in the US where there was 3 people, including me. Cusack made his name doing comedy movies, in the mid 1980's, when he was popular, and he probably thought life was great. do you get it yet ?

Managed half an hour of Four Lions this morning.
[ ] Chris Morris is a genius
Then managed half an hour of Robin Hood. Never realised Robin's childhood years were split between Glasgow, Bradford and Dublin. Weirdest accent ever from the gruff Kiwi.

It's a legend but I think Errol Flynn's take was the nearest to historically accurate
