The Last Airbender vs. Twilight: Eclipse
I considered sitting down at my computer and writing a simple reflection on The Last Airbender (and if I call it Avatar during this post, cut me a little slack).  Then I thought of a much better idea.  You see, every once and a while a major movie comes along that it so flawed, it makes an average film seem amazing by comparison.  For example, back in the day I watched Uwe...

Inception is Not Good...Inception is Great.
There have been times when I've lost faith in the idea that a movie will ever truly wow me again.  I'll see a few movies in theatres, good movies mind you, and feel a sense of dissatisfaction.  Over time, the feeling builds and I start to except the notion that this is as good as its going to get.  However, this idea is a lie, and movies like Inception remind me of that.

The Netflix Chronicles: Citizen Kane, The Most Influential Movie of All Time
What is the greatest movie of all time?  Its a question that is almost unanswerable (though lets be honest, its either Godfather or Godfather 2).  Some would say Citizen Kane is the greatest.  Others say Kane is slow, shallow, and more about style than anything else.  After watching it, I'm not sure I'd accept it being the greatest movie of all time, but I can accept it be...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Trailer is Finally Out! Let Hysteria Ensue!
My fellow readers, one of the most consistent movie franchises in the world of cinema is coming to a close: Harry Potter.  But if it has to end (and yes, it does have to end), then its going out in a truly epic fashion.  Yes folks, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is being split into two movies (as almost everyone knows by now I believe) which means nearly everything from the book sh...
