I can’t believe I still haven’t seen Avatar.This was one of my most anticipated movies last year until I saw the 16-minute trailer, which was disappointing. When it came out in December, holiday madness was in full swing so I didn’t get a chance to catch it. With everyone like you saying how great it is, I will definitely go, maybe this weekend!

About Avatar: it was awesome. I was smiling like an idiot through the entire film. The landscapes are amazing and the story, despite being simple, is quite enjoyable. And being in 3D only makes it better.

I haven’t seen this one yet but I’ve heard wildly different opinions so I’m very curious. I’m a HUGE Holmes fan, read all the stories, and do remember the details about him you mentioned. I hope that I veer closer to liking it than not.

What did you think of Avatar?

And I guess I don’t think we can see enough scenes like the one with the little boy. We still seem to embrace hate and intolerance so much, we need to keep repeating the ideas that we can co-exist and accept. In the setting, it said a lot about the strides that were made in South Africa.

I’ve watched this film and I thought it was very good: the music score is amazing. I’ve read several Sherlock Holmes books a long time ago, and I think that the character in the film isn’t that different from the stories of Conan Doyle. Yes, it would probably be impossible for him to be left helpless and naked in a room, for he was always in control and showed almost no emotions, but that only made the character more interesting for the viewer. And he was the fighting type; as I remember, in the books he was said to have fought plenty of times in an underground boxing arena. You just have to go there with an open mind. So, in the end the differences weren’t so many and the biggest ones didn’t harm the film a lot, at least for me. I hope I made my point clear 🙂

I haven’t watched Invictus or Crazy Heart, but I intend to, after Avatar.
