Even though James Cameron had an awesome film called Avatar. I do wish they could have held on to the title for the The Last Airbender. After watching the show all these years you feel a bit robbed at having that striped away. After all. Ang is The Avatar.

There have been very few MUST SEE movies this year. James Cameron’s Avatar happens to one of those you must see. Very few movies goers are true fans of film. Am I one? Not yet. But I do understand that it takes many elements to create a great film. I know , I know, we all have our own views on what movis are good. And we all have hae our favorite genre. I am not speaking about that. This is a article about film as a whole. Cameron just was the catalyst.

A film such as Avatar would seem to only cater to fantasy or sci fi fans. But it’s not. An awesome film is only as good as the parts that make it up. A truly strong story. One that would make someone read the book after seeing the movie. A real director. No disrespect to anyone out there. If you are given 200 million dollars and you choke, whose fault is that. A director should be able to execute his vision to perfection. The actors bring that story to life through the vision of the director. The score of the film drives the movie and lends emotion to it all. With a good editor, a film created as I have written, will be the hallmark of movies. And that would be regardless of the genre. Has anyone you seen Australia? An incredible film. Will anyone reading this go see Amelia, with Hilary Swank and Richard Gere? Make no mistake it will be one of the best films of 2009.

Sometimes we have to look to the things we would generally turn away from to find better entertainment. Read more instead of only watching TV. Watch a different type of show. And not only because your better half asks you too. Even though that is the reason most of us do it. Indulge in different cultures. Foreign films, cartoons, and books will open your mind to another format.  You’ll see everything differently. Trust me. If my wife would never have made me take her into the book store before going to the movies, I may not be writing this now. So much is out there hat we just ignore, because it SEEMS dull. Try something different. Who knows…You may actually enjoy it. Now stop skulking and watch this new trailer for James Cameron’s Avatar. It will blow you away.
