Avatarded

I checked out the new big deal AVATAR in IMAX 3D. Real problem was that I had to sit in the very first row and was lost because I was SO close and the 3D was in my lap. It's a very good, predictable, fairy-tale movie. Sam Worthington is pretty good, and Sigourney Weaver is excellent as always. The world they manufactured is incredible and very impressive. I would certainly recommend viewing this film in theaters, but paying 15 bucks for IMAX is unnecessary.
Bottom Line: A visually stunning 8.6 out of 10. Definitely good for kids too.

Paranormal Activity: It's a little creepy and unsettling, but really nothing amazing. It fails as a movie for me because I didn't give a shit about the characters. I wanted them to die to be honest. When you a cheering for the demon, you know it's not a good thing. I like how it's done, but you can tell, especially the woman in it, is not an accomplished actress. When the movie is based on paralyzing fear, you need to feel it from the character, and I personally did not. That having been said if you're a horror movie fan you can check it out, if not I wouldn't recommend it.
Bottom line: 5.7 out of 10. The ending couldn't come soon enough.

Shout out to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Warhawks on picking up another D3 National title in football. Suck it Mount Union.
