A Galaxy Far Far Away...In Blu

Well it's official. Star Wars si certainly coming to Blu-Ray. There may not be a date, but I see a October 2011 date...to accomadate a 2012 3D re-release to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of Star Wars itself, perhaps? Those are just my predictions and I certainly see them as a possibility. Nonetheless, I'll be excited to get more news on the Blu-Ray versions of Star Wars.

The glaxy is coming.

Avatar Critical Watch

Avatar is coming in 5 days (excitement!!), but what do the critics think so far? Well, 90% of them have given positive marks, with even Roger Ebert going as far as t osay it's a modern day Star Wars. Outstanding.

Plus, IGN Movies just gave me the best quote of the year:

"Wow. James Cameron pulled it off."

Entertainment Weekly (a magazine I currently am subscribing to), gave it a good B, though says it's climx is "stupendous" .

Great job, James. Can't wait to see the final product.

Film Review: New Moon

Last year, I gave Twilight an F+ and called it one of the worst films of the year. However, it did make 192 million dollars, so cue sequel (and trumpets). This time, Edward leaves Bella and this igves Jacob time to enter Bella's life. And they go overseas. To be honest, I fell asleep a few times.

The only thing good about the film is visually, it's mediocore. Some fur looks good and a werewolf is kind of cool anywhere. Oh, and Dakota Fanning is at least trying. The rest seem to know 'I will do 2 more of these so I can just rub it off'. They make Hayden Christian from the Star Wars prequels look like Sean Penn.


But you all knew I hated this movie before you read this review. So go see it if you want to waste 2 hours of your life, go ahead. If not...AVOID!!

Rating: D- or 3.6 out of 10
