I like this featurette because it tells about the human side of Avatar. The movie keeps getting better and better.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief is looking good. I like the special effects and it seems the characters play well off each other well. I like Pierce Brosnan’s character. I am not sure who he is, but it’s a stretch for Brosnan and he does a good job.
Brad Pitt’s Plan B shingle is working on the development a film version of the upcoming video game Dark Void with Pitt possibly starring as the lead combatant. No writers have been hired as yet.
Void follows a cargo pilot named Will (Pitt’s presumed character) who, after crashing in the Bermuda Triangle, ends up in a parallel universe where a band of humans must fight an alien threat they had long been thought extinct. Will and the other humans are outmanned but have a number of weapons and powers to help them beat back the alien invasion.
In January, the game will be released for Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Now, it is obvious that video games are not always successful at the box office like Max Payne. Dark Void, as a game, was purposely developed to appeal to wide-screen mindsets in which they see a world full of adventure in cinematic scope and magnitude.

Patty (101) won the movie and her kids will love it.
I really recommend getting this DVD for your kids. My daughter and her four friends watched Aliens in the Attic and they loved it all. Even the bloopers were awesome.
The movie takes place during summer vacation, but the Pearson family kids are stuck at a boring lake house with their nerdy parents. That is until feisty, little, green aliens crash-land on the roof, with plans to conquer the house AND Earth! Using only their wits, courage and video game-playing skills, the youngsters must band together to defeat the aliens and save the world — but the toughest part might be keeping the whole thing a secret from their parents!
The scene most talked about was when the adults were being controlled by the kids via remote controls. The kids had the two adults fighting each other with the kids flipping them, getting the parents to do anything they wanted them to do.
The cast includes Doris Roberts (“Everybody Loves Raymond”), Andy Richter (“The Conan O’Brien Show”), Kevin Nealon (“Weeds”), Tim Meadows (Mean Girls) and Gillian Vigman (The Hangover), as well as rising young star Ashley Tisdale (High School Musical).
After my daughter’s friends left, she asked if she could watch the movie, again, and did with just as much enjoyment.

I missed this shot when I watched JJ Abrams’ Star Trek. With all the explosions and sheer death at every turned, I just couldn’t keep my wits to spot R2-D2’s cameo.
But GIZMODO confirmed the droid we were all looking for in Star Trek. In this frame you can clearly see R2-D2’s cameo appearance in Star Trek. The sighting is confirmed by ILM.
America’s first National Park, Yellowstone, is one of the most spectacular wildernesses on Earth and h
ome to some of the richest wildlife beyond the plains of Africa. Yellowstone: Battle for Life reveals the beauty and struggles of this amazing natural treasure. Every family and teacher must own the documentary. It’s for nature enthusiasts everywhere. The release contains three hour-long episodes that encompass nearly an entire year at Yellowstone National Park, as well as 30 minutes of behind-the-scenes special features.
I was amazed at the detail and coverage of winter in Yellowstone. The documentary was such an educational and entertaining experience for me and my family. We watched how animals survive in the below freezing weather. Breathtaking fly-overs while narrator Peter Firth explains the paradox of being the home of world’s largest geothermal formation while also being one of the coldest places in North America.
My daughter was captivated during the coverage of summer in Yellowstone. She learned about the humming bird that migrates every year to Yellowstone from Mexico. If a snow storm kills off the brilliant flowers, the humming bird get it’s nectar from, no problem the bird sucks the tree sap. The humming birds lay and raise their young, and then head back to Mexico for 6 months before returning the Yellowstone.
Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox is a wacky, upbeat and entertaining film. I have seen the trailers and each one is a kicker. They are so much fun that I watch them over again, sharing them with family and friends. It may sound corny but it’s wacky.
Now anyone can send a holiday e-card to friends and family – and play the new MR. FOX game and test your waffle-eating prowess with the click of your fingers on the keyboard or with a web cam… Just click here.
Even iTunes allows you to visit Mr. Fox’s room by clicking here. If you feel like clicking again, you can find some more Mr. Fox stuff for your iPhone here.
Fantastic Mr. Fox opened yesterday in NY and LA! The film will expand to more cities next week, and then go wide the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, November 25. 2009.
Sometimes, folks, movie news is so epic that it can’t immediately be discerned whether it’s epically good or epically bad. All I know is that this is a big lump of something, though whether it’s a big lump of awesome or a big lump of suck will remain to be seen.
Seems that Will Ferrell (on the producer slot) and Tommy Wirkola (whose name you’ll recognize from zombie Nazi epic Dead Snow) have banded together to get working on a remake of the Hansel and Gretel story, along with writer Dante Harper.
A basic synopsis is now available, and it boggles my mind. Picture a funny version of The Brothers Grimm, and you’ll have a good idea what’s going on. Basically, fifteen years after the duo in question jammed a cannibal witch into a scorching hot oven to die, they’ve decided it’s time to take up a new line of work–witch bounty hunting. Apparently there’s a LOT of witches around, and it’s up to Hansel and Gretel to kill them off but good.
See what I mean? Good? Bad? It could go either way and do so on an unimaginable scale. But how will it turn out? We’ll have a ways to wait before we find that one out.
The winners are Horizon (23), Tawanda (37), Michelle Passerallo (50) and Jim Etters (66). Congratulations!
Join two-time Academy Award-winning actor and producer Michael Douglas (who narrates) and the world’s most pre-eminent paleontologists in this eye-popping IMAX
adventure as they take an extra-ordinarily unique look at the age of dinosaurs and uncover some of history’s most astonishing finds.
I found Dinosaurs Alive! worth the watch because the visuals add so much to the understanding of the prehistoric creatures. The DVD is a great tool for any parent or school teacher who wants to teach their child about dinosaurs or for anyone who is an avid researcher of dinosaurs. The special features are supplied with educational tools that are very helpful with a Dinosaur Quiz and Meet the Creatures.
Dinosaurs Alive! brings dinosaurs, their behaviors and ancient environments to life on screen as never before seen—juxtaposing stunningly realistic and scientifically accurate CGI animation with intriguing 1920s documentary footage, dramatic new scenes of real fossils and current dinosaur hunting expeditions. Using state-of-the-art techniques, the filmmakers have created an array of amazingly life-like creatures based on the latest fossil evidence, allowing the entire family to see these remarkable creatures come alive … in a very BIG way!
So how big were these mysterious creatures that dominated the earth for 150 million years? How fast did they move? What did they eat? How did they interact with other dinosaurs and creatures? Which were the predators and which were the hunted? How did they raise their young? What was their world like and how did they deal with the forces of nature? And just how did they die?
Uncover the mysteries below your feet as you travel across the exotic dunes of the Gobi Desert and along the sandstone buttes of New Mexico with scientists who make brand-new discoveries and find what could be the oldest dinosaur ever unearthed in North America.
