It stinks!! *NM* Jay Sherman Send a noteboard - 26/12/2009 05:51:30 AM
Okay here you can give your thoughts about the new James Cameron movie. Please mention in your subject line if your reply or review contains spoilers or not. Enjoy :)

The film lady in my daily newspaper gives three maybe four movies per year a 4 out of 4 stars rating. She said the story won't win any awards but that the visuals are unlike anything you've ever seen and the film is the technical masterpiece they announced. She gave it four stars after all.
Seeing it on Saturday, I'll get back at you then ;)

Avatar is basically Return of the Jedi, at least the part on Endor. But less militarily plausible Cannoli - 19/12/2009 02:22:35 AM 1289 Views
