Am I alone in thinking Avatar was the biggest pile of Shite with a storyline you could see coming from the instant your man turned into one of them blue boyo's!

Whilst visually it was very impressive, the storyline wasn't up to much.

i was expecting alot more from the story line.... it was too "simple"..... as previosly stated nothing new just a combo of other films

though have to say i'd love to see it in the cinema... as ziggy said visually i am sure it looked class.
I'm trying to decide on a really meaningful message..

Avatar. Dances With Wolves in Space.

But a very, very pretty flick.

I'm a bit raging I never got to see it in cinema too! I'll be getting it on DVD for sure like. I loved it myself, probably just got over-awed by the graphics etc..the plot is a bit thin alright..

I thought that "Men who stare at goats was pretty good".

Saw Iron Man 2. Great film. good craic. It's Hollywood gong-wooh, but sure most people were expecting that. Not as good as the first film, but it ticks all the boxs that was expected in the sequel. including the Stan Lee cameo.

Have to agree there ziggy, good enough outing to the cinema! One little annoyance though was that in the orriginals war machine was black and white, in the way that iron man is red and yellow. Still pretty cool and impressive. Spoiler alert, but yer man at the race with the arm things was cool as F!

Watched "An Education" and "The Ghost" over the past few days.

An Education was OK I guess. A bit drawn out and about a womans struggle in times gone by where she's torn between getting herself an education or marrying into money. I saw the twist coming a mile off but it was decent I guess 6/10

The Ghost was pretty entertaining. A political drama with a few twists and turns along the way. Fantastic cast in it also and a very good story. The twist in this one is a bit harder to get but I did enjoy the film. 2 things that bothered me were the length of it and the ending. Other than that I'd recommend it 7/10.

Hoping to see Iron Man 2 this weekend although the GF wants to see the first one before we do. Only problem is the bastardin thing isn't in any of the DVD shops in the town. Hopefully get her in Tesco this evenin!
