order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich
woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs,
Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by
gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate
the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake

Avatar is still in the top 3,it been out for almost 2 months.

Why does everyone like Avatar so much? It's just half-naked blue people running around and fighting.

Too bad it won only 3 minor oscars.

Did you know that each frame of Avatar took 47 hours to make?

smoothmoves97 wrote:Did you know that each frame of Avatar took 47 hours to make?

Yes, and used the largest publicly available supercomputer to make.

I really liked Up it was very funny but sad.

Yes. I liked it too though. My favorite character is Dug the dog

Yeah! Dug the dog is hilarious....

My master is good and smart. He gave me this collar so that I may - SQUIRREL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm addicted right now to Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
I have a HUGE Crush on Skandar Keynes (Edmund)...

Wonder where his parents got the name Skandar??

His grandparents are from like near Russia...
I think it's support to be a variation on "Alexander"
idk I like it..

wow. i loved that movie too, but in my opinion, i though the first movie did a better job in following and explaining the book

That is awesome! I like it to, it's different. He is cute to, you have to admit it Anyone agree with me???? I Edmund

He doesn't even look like Edmund in my opinion.

He doesn't??? I havn't read the books so I think I am going to and see if I picture him differently.

I never really have a clear picture of people in books, just the places that they're in, but in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, I had a clear picture of every character and Edmund was about 70% Skandar-looking.

I really liked The Chronicles of Narnia both the first and second (the lion,the witch,and the wardrobe)and (prince caspian) there totally awsome all about adventure

have you guys seen No country for old men? It was a really good movie.

I loved 2012, i'd put a sumary but someone already did. I also liked Up and Avatar.

I really liked, Transformars:Revenge of the fallen

Thousands of years ago, there was a race of ancient Transformers who scoured the universe looking for energon sources. Known as the Dynasty of Primes, they used machines called Sun Harvesters to drain stars of their energy in order to convert it to energon and power Cybertron's All Spark. The Primes agreed that life-bearing worlds would be spared, but in 17,000 BC, one brother, thereafter dubbed "The Fallen", constructed a Sun Harvester on Earth. The remaining brothers thus sacrificed their bodies in order to hide the Matrix of Leadership —the key that activates the Sun Harvester — from The Fallen, who swore to seek revenge upon Earth.

In the present day, two years after the events of the previous film, Optimus Prime is seen leading NEST (Networked Elements:Supporters and Transformers), a military organization consisting of human troops and his own team of Autobots (including newcomers Arcee, Chromia, Elita One, Sideswipe, Jolt, and the twins (Skids and Mudflap) aimed at killing the remaining Decepticons on Earth. While on a mission in Shanghai, Optimus and his team destroy Decepticons Sideways and Demolishor, being given a warning by the latter that "The Fallen will rise again".

Back in the United States, Sam Witwicky finds a splinter of the destroyed All Spark, and upon contact the splinter fills his mind with Cybertronian symbols. Deeming it dangerous, Sam gives the All Spark splinter to his girlfriend Mikaela Banes for safe keeping, and leaves her and Bumblebee behind to go off to college.

omg i love transformers!! its so awesome

completly agree. it's like a blury image, except if there was a movie based on a book, i sort of imagine the actors/actresses as the characters in the book. For Narnia, i think the cast was pretty good.

anyways, has anyone seen The Last Airbender? i really want to see it...
