The Last Airbender Review by Roger Ebert
Rating: (Half a star, out of 4).
“The Last Airbender” is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented. The laws of chance suggest that something should have gone right. Not here. It puts a nail in the coffin of low-rent 3D, but it will need a lot more coffins than that.
Let’s start with the 3D, which was added as an afterthought to a 2D movie. Not only is it unexploited, unnecessary and hardly noticeable, but it’s a disaster even if you like 3D. M. Night Shyamalan’s retrofit produces the drabbest, darkest, dingiest movie of any sort I’ve seen in years. You know something is wrong when the screen is filled with flames that have the vibrancy of faded Polaroids. It’s a known fact that 3D causes a measurable decrease in perceived brightness, but “Airbender” looks like it was filmed with a dirty sheet over the lens.

Now for the movie itself. The first fatal decision was to make a live-action film out of material that was born to be anime. The animation of the Nickelodeon TV series drew on the bright colors and “clear line” style of such masters as Miyazaki, and was a pleasure to observe. It’s in the very nature of animation to make absurd visual sights more plausible.

Since “Airbender” involves the human manipulation of the forces of air, earth, water and fire, there is hardly an event that can be rendered plausibly in live action. That said, its special effects are atrocious. The first time the waterbender Katara summons a globe of water, which then splashes (offscreen) on her brother Sokka, he doesn’t even get wet.  Firebenders’ flames don’t seem to really burn, and so on.

The story takes place in the future, after Man has devastated the planet and survives in the form of beings with magical powers allowing them to influence earth, water and fire. These warring factions are held in uneasy harmony by the Avatar, but the Avatar has disappeared, and Earth lives in a state of constant turmoil caused by the warlike Firebenders.

Our teenage heroes Katara and Sokka discover a child frozen in the ice. This is Aang (Noah Ringer), and they come to suspect he may be the Avatar, or Last Airbender. Perhaps he can bring harmony and quell the violent Firebenders. This plot is incomprehensible, apart from the helpful orientation that we like Katara, Sokka and Aang and are therefore against their enemies.

The dialogue is couched in unspeakable quasi-medieval formalities; the characters are so portentous they seem to have been trained for grade school historical pageants. Their dialogue is functional and action-driven. There is little conviction that any of this might be real even in their minds. All of the benders in the movie appear only in terms of their attributes and functions, and contain no personality.

Potentially interesting details are botched. Consider the great iron ships of the Firebenders. These show potential as Steampunk, but are never caressed for their intricacies. Consider the detail Miyazaki lavished on Howl’s Moving Castle. Trying sampling a Nickelodeon clip from the original show to glimpse the look that might have been.

After the miscalculation of making the movie as live action, there remained the challenge of casting it. Shyamalan has failed. His first inexplicable mistake was to change the races of the leading characters; on television Aang was clearly Asian, and so were Katara and Sokka, with perhaps Mongolian and Inuit genes. Here they’re all whites. This casting makes no sense because (1) It’s a distraction for fans of the hugely popular TV series, and (2) all three actors are pretty bad. I don’t say they’re untalented, I say they’ve been poorly served by  Shyamalan and the script. They are bland, stiff, awkward and unconvincing. Little Aang reminds me of Wallace Shawn as a child. This is not a bad thing (he should only grow into Shawn’s shoes), but doesn’t the role require little Andre, not little Wally?

As the villain, Shyamalan has cast Cliff Curtis as Fire Lord Ozai and Dev Patel (the hero of “Slumdog Millionaire”) as his son Prince Zuko. This is all wrong. In material at this melodramatic level, you need teeth-gnashers, not leading men. Indeed, all of the acting seems inexplicably muted. I’ve been an admirer of many of Shyamalan’s films, but action and liveliness are not his strong points. I fear he takes the theology of the Bending universe seriously.

As “The Last Airbender” bores and alienates its audiences, consider the opportunities missed here. (1) This material should have become an A-list animated film. (2) It was a blunder jumping aboard the 3D bandwagon with phony 3D retro-fitted to a 2D film. (3) If it had to be live action, better special effects artists should have been found. It’s not as if films like “2012” and “Knowing” didn’t contain “real life” illusions as spectacular as anything called for in “The Last Airbender.”

Restrepo trialer (Documentary)

 

Winner of the US Documentary Grand Jury Prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.

www.restrepothemovie.com

"Restrepo" is a feature-length documentary that chronicles the deployment of a platoon of U.S. soldiers to Afghanistan's Korengal Valley. The movie focuses on a remote 15-man outpost, Restrepo, named after a platoon medic who was killed in action. It was considered one of the most dangerous postings in the US military. This is an entirely experiential film: our cameras never leave the valley, we dont interview generals or diplomats. Our only goal is to make you feel as though you have just done a 90-minute deployment. This is war, full stop. The conclusions are up to you.

Inception (2010)

I knew this movie was going to be epic but i didn't know how epic!
It definitely surpassed my expectations-

spoiler:
the movie basically follows dream extractors who agree to a gig to implant an idea into this dudes dream, known as inception. this notion was conceives as impossible but Leonardo risks it all anyways in order to get back to the kids he left behind. the only way to ensure this will work is if they create a dream dream w/in a dream which they do three times and every time they created a dream w/in the dream the time would expand. Leo formulates a  team, ellen page- the architecht who builds the blue print of the dream so Leo and his team [Joseph Gordon-Levitt,Tom Hardy,Dileep Rao, and Ken Watanabe ] could roam around safely. Of course s*** goes wrong...as for the rest im not even sure about.

it was impressive visually. the aesthetics were amazing. there were familiar themes but the concept was oozing w/ originality. it was a total mind f***.

It was mandatory to pay attention throughout the movie to keep up with the plot but still by the end you're left wondering if what you saw actually happened

dazed & confused but intrigued was the general sentiment felt by most...

i will definitely be watching this again...

I knew this movie was going to be gut busting funny but one would expect more form heavy hitters like kevin james, adam sandler, and chris rock--as for spade--and that other dude , meh!

It was an odd compilation but I suppose this was geared towards the family demographic so there was only going to be light humor (if that's what you wan to call it).

100 of the cheesiest movie lines EVER



Watch N cee!!
 So.. I saw THE LAST AIRBENDER las night----

(crickets)

M. Night Shyamalan is the worst writer EVER! He's a good director but he definitely didn't NEED to write, direct AND produce this movie--he's doing too much ..talk about a HUGE ego...

the dialog was so weak-- he tried to dumb it down --but even the kids were like uhh we get it ...we're not stupid! The actors we're repeating themselves and recurrently stating the obvious....
the cartoon had more intelligent dialog than this.---i felt like an amateur wrote it!
Even the kids in the theater felt their intellignence being questioned...

This wouldn't have happened with Disney (i kid)

moving on ...

the effects were cool but one thing that irked a lot f people was the fact that the main characters weren't ASIAN....it was weird too because all the extras would be ----but then you have all these white kids coming out the wood work...whats up w. that?!

The girl they cast to play Katara had the same disposition (cant act) in the entire movie which was annoying but the character in the cartoon is as well so they might have been spot on!

90% of the cast couldn't act which was troubling and plain shameful...

Dev Patel...well after seeing him in the series Skins I can never see him as a villain--he's too adorable

the kid who played the avatar was decent but he was definitely an amateur actor and but he killed the choreography....

the movie wasn't devastatingly horrible--i still enjoyed it for what it was worth HOWEVER who ever cast for this movie sucks major balls!


that is all...

Creepy Kids in movies


The Innocents


the kids were weird and awfully pale. Something about overly polite kids who are always happy is creepy but this movie lacked any real twist but then again it came out in the 60's so back then this must have scared the pants off some people. the ending was disappointing..nothing was solved and your left thinking ..."um...is that it?!"

The Paper Boy



very disturbed..psychotic..lonely...paper boy.
enough said!

Birth



Very disturbing.... a little boy disrupts the life of a newly engaged couple claiming he's the resurrected husband of the woman's (nicole kidman) dead husband. so weird. later in the film we get why he knows so much proving he is a little liar...yet even with that in the end we're still not sure because it hints that we the boy could have been telling the truth. nicole kidman's character goes a little crazy . she even believes the little boys story and becomes a little too attached. even after all that her fiance still chose to marry her crazy ass. that's love!?
idk but the movie succeeded at confusing me to the point of intrigue and any movie hat can do that gets my approval

8.5/10

Sex and the City 2



Now for all the loyalists out there hwo stuck witht hs show for years (seen every episode) paid homage by going to see this second installation which many found unnecessary like myself but as a loyalist i saw it anyways.

it was very colorful...the fashion was refreshing ...the aesthetics were great....Abu Dhabi was beautiful but this film lacked and important element....

THE SEX!!!

I think Samantha was the only one who got it on in this movie and it wasn't even the usual crazy escapade you would expect from her....i was thoroughly dismayed...

i did like how the plot wasn't solely focused on Carrie and the Aiden situation and they didn't blow it up into this big saga.
it was just enough drama to satisfy the fans...we all knew Carrie would end up with BIG and nothign wa so going to change that....

good movie but if your not a die hard an you might not enjoy it for what it was...

Get Him to the Greek





this movie was surprisingly funny.

I thought Diddy was going to be his naturally corny-self which was how it seemed in the beginning of the movie but by the middle Diddy unveiled an actually funny and freakishly hilarious character which was exciting to watch..."Scratch the furry walls!"
Russel Brand was expectantly funny but in this movie we see a softer side to him as well which was refreshing...

Rose Byrne was both hot and funny...never knew she had a comedic side...being that all her previous movies have been drama's but she surprised me..she was an especially nice touch

...and of course the comedic styling of Jonah Hill was nothing short of funny.

Great comedy for the summer!!

Toy Story 3


I grew up with the toy story series so it was only right to go see the third installation.

This movie had me in tears and I haven't teared up since UP!
(spoiler)
Pixar had me on an emotional roller coaster but they kept it real ...
there were new toys- some good and some evil which were added to the movie . As Andy prepared to pack for college he packs the toys up only to have them accidentally thrown out. Sooo.... the  toys get sent to a day care which seemed more like a concentration camp for toys . Unfortunately the evil villain Lots'O Huggin Bear was Lots'O BUGGIN'--he was terrifying and evil and in the end never really learned his lesson which was sad but that's life aint it?!?
The toys survived another perilous adventure and were safe - they eventually parted ways with their life long owner Andy. In the end they moved in with a new kid, Bonnie, to be played with!! Yay!

10/10-- great movie!

The Losers



Bad Ass!!
Tha's what that was...all my comic book fans would agree ( i hope)
:)

Jeffrey Dean Morgan played the leader of the pack... is it just me or is he packing on the pounds?

Chris Evans added the comic relief-his rendition of Journey was epic!

Zoe Saldana , who seems to be everywhere lately, was sexy and kicking ass as well.

Idris Elba just added to the bad ass vibe.

Oscar Jaenada played the silent but deadly 'Cougar'--total bad ass.

Columbus Short was ...eh! he wasn't really doing anything for me....

IRON MAN 2



I went to see Iron Man 2 with the primary intention to see Robert Downey Jr. who i have a non-existing love affair with. it's just something about his cocky nature that seemes so charming, but only he can get away with it w/ those big puppy dog eyes of his ... I also went to drool over Scarelett Johansson who played the lovely Natasha Romanoff (such a hottie)...

There were a slight character change in the movie as Don Cheadle stepped in to replace Terrance Howard which i think was a better fit anyways because Don Cheadle has a forgiving nature about him which went well with the plot of the movie...

if you stay until the very end of the movie like a few patient people and I did you'll catch a little sneek peek at what's coming next.. #spoiler

the movie was very entertaining--there was explosions--there was betrayal --there were epic battle scenes---there was a few character arc's--you know how it goes...

go see it!

A Nightmare on Elm's Street (2010)




Scary movies dont make me jump as they used to because now I know when its coming ... i guess i'm numb to it all. the impact if anything came from the loud speakers which were deafening.
Jackie Haley is creepy looking to begin with and as Kreuger his awkwardness was merely accented--> He fit the role so well. i think the movie would have had more edge if they went further with his molestation obsession factor but they were tame with it.

it was entertaining none the less. I enjoyed myself!!

rating: 3.5 out of 5

Death at a Funeral (2010)


This movie was a TOTAL rip off of the original version.
I'm aware Dean Criag wrote for both movies but often British humor doesnt translate with Americans...and this movie stayed true to that fact.
There wasnt anything special about it with one exception: James Marsden. He was the only one worth watching and the majority of the movie he was tripping off acid which was the funniest thing about this movie. As for the other comedians --there wasnt much to laugh about. One would expect more of a knock-out laugh-out with Martin Lawerence and Chris Rock teamed together but it was a major let down.

Zoe Saldana was there to drool over (brownie points) and Danny Glover was just unapologetically unappealing (gag). the sound bites were just as stale-- they found a way to throw in Glover's famous quote 'im too old for this s***'... LAME

It probably would have better if they weren't trying so hard to stick to the orignal script from the original BRITISH version -- because it didnt translate well at ALL.

Kick Ass!!!



KICK ASS was epically satisfyingly!!!

This movie surpassed ALL of my expectations!!!

I thought it was going to be another run of the mill corny, coming of age, superhero (w/o the real superhero) movie....well it was NOTHING like that!!!

This movie was deliciously gruesome and graphic for all the right reasons. it was no short of dark humor and comedy but the one who really took the cake Chloe Moretz AKA Hit Girl <-- She's one to watch out for . Nicholas Cage was another one who pleasingly surpassed my expectations which were subpar but he revitalized my interest in him as an actor.

I left the movie pumped up and ready to take on the world.

I URGE ALL THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA TO GO SEE KICK ASS.

Alice in Wonderland



There have been a barrage of mixed reviews about this movie.

I think those who weren't in favor of it went in with their own expectations with hope that it would be something like the original story but lest not forget Tim Burton had a hand in it so hence it was NOT going to be ANYTHING like the original- I was content with that.

I actually enjoyed the movie with it all its flagrant colors and detailed visage.I actually went to see it in theaters and thought the 3-d glasses were unnecessary but nonetheless I thought the storyline was unique and if anything more straight forward than the original... I do warn you though if you intend to watch this on acid you WILL be tripping BALLS!!!!

Brick (2005)


click to watch

I watched this moving with high expectations because two of my favorite actors, Lukas Haas and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are in it....

The movie is a post-modern film noir....centering around the protagonist, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who tries to solve the murder of his ex-girlfriend...
....the movie follows various H.S. students who instead of reading books are playing adult games ..

...underneath the simplicity of it's tone there is an entire underground world of drug dealers, secrets, lies, and murder(s)....

It was a bit pretentious at times but it stays true to the genre.

GOod ole' zombie flick..better than your average though... because there's a twist (cant forget the twist)---its a good watch especially because its foreign so it wasn't tainted by your dime a dozen American filmmakers who has yet achieved to bring the intensity to a zombie flick--I kid! *chants* USA USA USA

but seriously ...

REC 2 is a Spanish horror film that is the sequel to 2007's REC. Written and directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza, both of whom returned from the previous film, the story takes place immediately after the events of the first film, with producing company Filmax International describing it as having "the same claustrophobic concept" as REC but with "new means of transferring fear from the screen to the spectator through the recording lens."

Repo Men


Definitely not what I expected which was good I like being shocked and taken on a ride leading to a total mind f***

I liked it although many might not agree but their lames any how... there is one particular scene where Jude and Alice Braga are at the union trying to clear their credit by fooling 'the machine' and it turns into this masochist love scene which to tell you the truth was kind of hott.
(dont judge me)

About: Set in the near future when artificial organs can be bought on credit, it revolves around a man who struggles to make the payments on a heart he has purchased. He must therefore go on the run before said ticker is repossessed.

"I wonder who the real cannibals are?"- this line implicates so much of the savagery that went on in this movie...

This movie is one of the most controversial movies to date so much that it was BANNED!!!!

Two months later, after they fail to return, famous anthropologist Harold Monroe travels on a rescue mission to find the group. Eventually, he recovers and views their lost cans of film, which reveal the missing filmmakers' fate. "

What worries me the most of how much of it was real and fake because there was a lot of animal brutality that was too real to seem fake. if it was then great job but if not ...that was so wrong!

If you are squeamish and cannot stomach the vivid brutality then stray away but if not...ENJOY!!

Watch N cee!!

Just Seen: The Boys are Back, Case 39, The Men who Stare at Goats, Couples Retreat, The Stepfather, Brothers

The Boys are Back:

Cute family movie. Clive Owen is always refreshing to watch.
4 out 5

Case 39:

If you're looking for a creepy devil child movie then this is some what like that; poorly done I think. The ending was as distasteful as the plot line. Not Renee Zellwiger's best work but everyone needs to get paid right? (she should stick to romantic comedies)
1.5 out 5

The Men Who Stare at Goats:

Interesting duo-George Clooney and Ewan McGregor. It was an interesting mash of military antics, secret projects, thrown in w/ jedi warriors and psychic soldiers. The story didnt really develop well and I wasn't satisfied at the end though.
3.5 out of 5

Couples Retreat:

Not as funny as it should have been. They could have done a lot more with this. I expect mroe from you Vince Vaughn!!!! (lol..no i don't)
2.5 out of 5

Brothers:

Tobey McGuire was intense. Good plot, enough suspense and intensity to keep me glued.
4 out 5

The Stepfather:

Lame. Plot sucked, ending sucked, and the acting sucked. Penn Badgley is lucky he has Gossip Girls to fall back on.
1.5 out of 5
