Seems like we’ve been hearing about it forever, and now it’s finally here. I’m a bit mystified, though, that the NYC press screenings of Avatar (opens in the U.K. on December 17, and in the U.S. on December 18) are not taking place in the one true IMAX theater in Manhattan but at one of … more…
As of this writing, 12 movies are set to open wide in North America in the month of December. (Others will open limited in December and go wide in January.) Which means that even if you’re an active moviegoer and see a movie each week, you’ve still gotta pick and choose (and it’s even worse … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I guess this is cool and all, but why does it feel really familiar? Should I have been getting flashes of The Lord of the Rings from a story set in the ancient world? Maybe I’m just worn out from these kinds of movies. I’ll certainly see … more…
Avatar, James Cameron’s eagerly awaited science fiction flick (watch the trailer), doesn’t open till December 18, but tickets for the first opening-day midnight shows are already on sale for some locations: Online ticketers MovieTickets.com and Fandango on Friday began ringing up sales for “Avatar” performances at more than 75 AMC locations, most of them Imax … more…
District 9, Avatar, District 9, Avatar… I’m such a dork.

Avatar is the long-awaited epic science fiction film from James Cameron that is going to change cinema forever, cure world hunger, and bring peace to the Middle … more…
I’m totally obsessed with District 9, and I don’t care who knows it. I haven’t been this gripped by a movie in years: it’s almost like being in love: I can’t wait to see it again. (I’m gonna have some time to kill on Thursday evening before my midnight show of The Final Destination, and … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I always welcome a new James Cameron movie, and this looks pretty much like, you know, a James Cameron movie: I see flashes of Aliens in this, and The Abyss, and that’s fine. But I simply cannot conceive of the 3D being so mindblowing as to push … more…
Take a look back at an old trailer… It’s refreshing to see a trailer admit it right up front: this is a movie about sex and violence. I bet James Cameron’s Avatar won’t combine live action and animation with the same goofy panache as this flick did. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is available on DVD … more…
The movie won’t open till just before Christmas, but already James Cameron’s Avatar is being hyped to levels that it seems impossible it could actually meet. We already know, for instance, that this is the movie Cameron has been actively working to drive cinematic technology forward in the last 15 years in order to make: … more…
