AVATAR - Old Tales Are Not In Kansas Any More

1 day ago ago from Now Listen Here

If you like Science Fiction, tales of the old west, stories of discovery, little guys taking on the big guys plots (although the little guys are 10ft tall), absolutely superb 3-D technology and are willing to forgive a screenplay that doesn't match the rest of the movie in quality. Go see Avatar. I'm not going to play spoiler so read on. I have always been a fan of Science Fiction stories and movies are the perfect media for film makers to ...

Intercultural Misunderstandings with Argentinians - any stories?

13 hours ago ago from Baexpats - Community of Expatriates in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Hi Expats! I´d be interested in hearing funny/ embarassing/ shocking stories of intercultural misunderstandings as expats in Argentina. When you arrive to a new country, things seem easy at the beginning. But at some point, things can go slightly wrong. You have a hard time communicating with locals. Or you say a joke in in a meeting and unexpectedly, locals won´t laught at your joke. Or you have trouble with your boss at workplace and ...

Jesus is pair of 3-D glasses

22 hours ago ago from Evolving Church

I saw the film Avatar' recently, a film shot with a new kind of camera in 3-D. I'd heard a lot about how amazing it was, how it would change my view of all other films forever and how the CGI was so good you found it hard to believe it wasn't real. I put on those big NHS-style specs in the cinema wondering what it would look like and how it would be, and whether like a lot of hyped-up things it wouldn't deliver. But it did. It was incredible. ...

Avatar

I went to the Glasgow Science Centre on Wednesday Night to see a special advance preview of James Cameron's Avatar. Not only was it at the IMAX, but also in 3-D! The movie was just under 3 hours long, but it was pretty exciting and the time flew in. There was a little bit of motion sickness which cropped up in the flying scenes. Overall the film itself was superb, but the experience of a 3-D movie at the IMAX was surreal. This is surely ...

20 hours ago ago from Nerds ++

It's been a really good decade for sci-fi and fantasy movies; you might say it's the decade that's going to change forever the way they make such movies and the way we see them. So we thought it would be worth taking a look back at the Naughties (Aughts? Zeroes?) to see which movies most altered the sci-fi and fantasy film landscape. And this isn't just us; it's also you, based on your Twitter responses to our query @scifiwire: ...

Film: Homes Are Where You Find Them

17 hours ago ago from The New York Times

WHEN times are hard, people go to the movies to escape. Like most truisms, this sturdy kernel of Hollywood ideology turns out, on closer examination, not to be entirely true. The urge to escape is powerful, but it also has a way of subverting itself. We may flee to the multiplex or the Netflix queue hoping to escape troubles at home or out there in the world, but those troubles have a habit of following us on our adventures, popping up in our ...

Sharon Waxman: 'Avatar' Delivers

5 hours ago ago from Huffington Post

I just saw "Avatar." And for the first time in a very long time, a movie that made a great, big promise delivered. It's been more than a year since I've been hearing that James Cameron would reinvent moviemaking with "Avatar." That he was marking a milestone with this film that was the equivalent of silent films to talkies, or black and white to color. Right. And once I heard that he was the king of the world. Going to the movies for a ...
