Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic!

James Cameron has created a stunning 3-D alternative-world for us to visit for a few hours (which looks even more amazing in IMAX-3D). But Cameron's grand accomplishment is far more than just the technological special effects (which are, by the way, thrilling) -- 'Avatar' is a great love story, adventure story, and morality play in the best tradition of science fiction. It combines the adventure and excitement of Cameron's "Terminator 2" with the adventure and love story of his "Titanic". My wife, son , and I loved this film, which will be enjoyed by all ages (except perhaps too much action/violence for the very young, under 9). A must-see. And try to see it in IMAX 3D for maximum impact.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great family film for the holidays

An inspiring movie that will spark interesting family discussions about tolerance, courage, and rising above one's personal desire for revenge. The kids in the family will enjoy the sports scenes while the adults will appreciate the uplifting story of Nelson Mandela, a true hero trying to rebuild (and redeem) a nation. Morgan Freeman's Mandela is amazing, a sure Oscar-caliber performance. A bit too many repetitious rugby scenes and a bit too little dialogue from the main characters make this a "four star" rather than a "five star", but still a movie the whole family will enjoy.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Don't waste your time with this stinker

A script that pretends to be profound but isn't. I didn't care what happened to any of the characters, most of whom had the moral wisdom of Tiger Woods. Totally predictable so-called plot "twists" (like the person who gets fired who threatens to jump off a bridge -- GUESS WHAT HAPPENS !?!). The scene where the young women colleague gets dumped by her boyfriend and cries in Clooney's arms has to be the worst acted embarrassment of 2009. A real waste of time.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Best film I've seen in 2008

In 'Gran Torino', Clint Eastwood creates an unforgettable character, a tough, worldy-weary 'wise man', similar to his vivid portrayal in "Million Dollar Baby". He'll likely get a Best Actor nomination for this film, which also has a shot at Best Picture. At the showing I attended, the audience gave the film a big round of applause at the end, something you don't see much these days at the movies.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
