AVATAR!!!!
I saw Avatar yesterday and it was amazing!!
Better than the previews, 3D was the best I've seen (much better than the Cowboys football game!) and the CGI seemed real (as strange as it is to say that considering you are watching 12 foot tall blue people!)
A must see!

A little R&R
The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans
I've written about the brilliance of Werner Herzog before, and stand by it. That being said (Thank you Larry David!), this film may scare you off from watching any of his others (PLEASE don't let that happen!)
Without getting too into it, the movie is about a cops descent in a Post Katrina New Orleans. I won't ruin any of the 'plot', but understand going in that it doesn't have a typical narrative, and there are parts that you will wonder what kind of drugs Nick Cage was really on (not to mention the director). You will however see some amazing performances (imagine NC in Leaving Las Vegas as apposed to National Treasure), as well as some great locations in New Orleans that will appreciate what life is really like there.
I thought this movie was great, but I can see how people feel otherwise.
You've been warned about this recommendation!

What I've been up to lately...
Went to Dallas last weekend to see the Cowboys - Chargers game, and while the Cowboys didn't look so good, the scoreboard did!
If you haven't heard about the scoreboard that was put into the new stadium, it is the biggest HD screen in the world! The thing stretches across almost 60 Yards and is as clear a picture as you have ever seen!
To put it in prospective, this screen is 160' wide x 72' high. The standard IMAX screen is 72' x 53'. Watching it was almost like being at the game...
...Wait a second....
While we were there, they stepped it up by having the 3rd quarter broadcast in 3D (because the biggest HD screen in the world isn't enough)... I shit you not, they actually handed out those blue and red glasses and during the 3rd quarter, the action was all in 3D...
The novelty wore off within about 2 minutes, and everyone in the stadium had their glasses off and were watching the actual game with normal sizecheerleaders players.
I'm a big fan of 3D when it's done well and for the right media... Riding a rollercoaster, diving in the Ocean, watching Beowulf or a Pixar cartoon, Absolutely! Watching a football game on a screen that is already amazing when I'm AT THE GAME... Not so much

Inglourious Basterd
If you're a Tarantino fan (which you should be), here's his short list for best films of 2009
btw, if you liked Tony Jaa (Ong-Bak), the movie he mentions, Chocolate, is by the same director with 'the female Tony Jaa' kicking ass!
Keeping on the Tarantino theme, check out this commercial....
No, I don't get it either!
