Avatar: In the epic action adventure Avatar, James Cameron, the director of Titanic, takes us to a spectacular new world beyond imagination. On the distant moon Pandora, a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization.

The film was first conceived by Cameron 14 years ago, when the means to realize his vision did not yet exist. Now, after four years of actual production work, Avatar delivers a fully immersible cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film, disappears into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.

The Lovely Bones: Susie Salmon, a young girl who has been murdered, watches over her family – and her killer – from heaven. She must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal.

Crazy Heart: Four-time Academy Award® nominee JEFF BRIDGES stars as the richly comic, semi-tragic romantic anti-hero Bad Blake in the debut feature film CRAZY HEART from writer-director Scott Cooper. Bad Blake is a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who’s had way too many marriages, far too many years on the road and one too many drinks way too many times. And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean (MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL), a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician. As he struggles down the road of redemption, Bad learns the hard way just how tough life can be on one man’s crazy heart.

The Young Victoria: The early years of the monarch Queen Victoria’s rule and her legendary romance and marriage to Prince Albert.

As the rest of the family arrives it becomes a full on circus. Cynthia (Lorette Devine) is grieving the loss of her husband but has to deal with the chaos that comes with the family reuniting for the funeral. Elaine (Zoe Saldana) comes with her boyfriend Oscar (James Marsden) who is acting rather odd after taking a “valium” for the event to help ease his nerves. Apparently the valium was a bit much for Oscar who knocks over the casket and winds up nude on the roof.

Norman (Tracy Morgan) is tending to the elder Uncle Russell (Danny Glover) who is a lot more than just a grumpy old man to deal with. Things only become stranger when an uninvited mourner arrives with photos in hand and an agenda on his plate. As Aaron and Ryan contemplate how to resolve their father’s dark secrets it does not take long before the controversy plays out in front of all the grieving visitors, including their mother.

“Death at a Funeral” was one of the first comical pieces this year to have me continuously laughing. Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence were a dynamic duo. Adding Tracy Morgan, Luke Wilson, Danny Glover, James Marsden and Zoe Saldana made this an all out comical feast. It was a great look at how when family gets together anything is possible. No tears were allowed at this service, only tears from laughter.

Elishia:

My revenge plot would be…    My Boyfriend and I in an elite group of assassins. While out on the job, doing my normal thing of gathering intel, sharpening weapons, I caught sight of my target conspiring how to get me off their trail! They must not have been very smart, hello I can hear you through the wire taps I have all over your house! The audacity of some people! So why put off the inevitable? I called up my partner/boyfriend so we could get the job done. Two hours later he shows up, pulls out his gun, and then points the thing right at me! AT ME! COME ON! After some intense fighting sequence… which just ends with me tied up, hey don’t judge me, he’s bigger than I am! So my EX-partner/boyfriend proceeds to tell me that he really never did love me and hey the money from the bad guys is always more, he hold the gun up, smile that smile that i use to love and says ” don’t worry, I’ll make sure you can have an open casket” and then shoots me in the stomach. what a punk, that’s a slow death! A woman trying to find her car, and see me. She screams so gut retchingly loud that it spooks The Ex boyfriend into shooting her in the head, he then does the dramatic walk off out of the parking garage trying to act like the movie star that I know he isn’t. He obviously has only looks and no brains since all assassins where bullet proof vests, or maybe they don’t, since he didn’t think I had one on, maybe he doesn’t wear one at all, hey that would be a poetic way to kill him. So here I am sitting, still tied up, cuz those boyscout knots really do work, when all of a sudden my main crush Clay comes wheeling around in his muscle car, man he’s hot. How did he get here so fast? He looks at the woman laying dead on the ground with fire in his eyes, but he turns to me and cuts me lose, and I’m all fired up wanting to see blood. He calms me down and I tell him everything. But he then tells me he’s been following the Ex with a suspicion of him working with the bad guys, My Clay, he’s so smart. He can obviously tell that i had revenge on the mind, so we go out for coffee ( our first date if you ask me) and talk about romantic things.. such as how to kill my stinkin Ex. After a few hours, and finally getting my head clear, I decided I wanted to make him suffer. over the next few months I design this plan of action, but now that i have my plan figured out, I can’t stinkin find him!!! He just POOF disappeared! So Clay and I go on a mission to find him. I hit up all of the local strip joints that he was soo willing to donate his money to. After talking and some accidental blood shed I got my first lead to where he was, the strip club owner said he moved to Cali, of course, he always did want to be a movie star. I guess me and Clay will be going on our first vacation together! We get to Cali, and what do you know, I see the Ex’s ugly mug on a billboard promoting a new TV show coming this fall! How the heck did he make it famous so fast, he must have connections cuz he is not that entertaining. Hollywood is so nice, they have maps of all of the major studios, including the one that the Ex works for, thats really nice. I show up to the set, Clay and I have both of our guns out and ready. I bust through the wide double doors and find that i had interrupted a scene being taped, starring my Ex and a little girl. What… The… Crap. I can’t shoot him right now in front of this kid!!! I have Standards! Great! now he sees me. Great now he’s gonna run! speaking of which, there he goes! Clay and i are chasing him through the movie sets, I run into a fake wall, then we run onto a set that looks like it belongs to an assassin movie, you know Hollywood never does get it right, we are not all gorgeous Angelina types, and we certainly do not wear a lot of leather, that stuff gets hot! Any who, I spot the Ex jumping over the rooftops of fake buildings I’m running on the ground cuz honestly, jumping hurts my knees. I guess the Ex hasn’t been running much since he got to Hollywood since he is already slowing down and getting sloppy. When i see this moment of weakness I jump on the building ( hey its a movie set they really aren’t tall buildings) and tackle him down, I look around to celebrate with Clay, but I have lost Clay, where did he go? Oh well I will relish in this victory alone then. I look at the Ex in the face and he is crying! REALLY crying, man he has become weak, but I’m ruthless and pull my gun up to his temple and say ” oh you won’t be having an open casket. sorry” Then I pull the trigger. click click click, nothing what!!!!! It’s empty! Then behind me I hear Clay and his heavy boots slapping on the cement floor. I turn to look at him and he just looks crazy. Then I hear his smooth voice ” babe I got this one” He bends down next to the Ex’s ear and whispers ” that girl you killed… was my sister”. Clay then gets up, reaches for hand says ” tell him goodbye” We walk slowly toward the door, i turn my head and say ” bye, Ex” turn back around and I hear the first of many explosions. Clay must of rigged them while I was running like a fool. I always wondered why Clay was so gun-ho on killing the Ex, And as to how he got to me so fast. Clay was having coffee at her office catching up on life when he got a call to go work a job and left. This wasn’t revenge for the Ex trying to kill me, it was revenge for Clay’s innocent sister. Man.. he’s perfect, a cold blooded killer and a family guy, what more could I ask for?

My Sister’s Keeper:  Sara and Brian Fitzgerald’s life with their young son and their two-year-old daughter, Kate, is forever altered when they learn that Kate has leukemia. The parents’ only hope is to conceive another child, specifically intended to save Kate’s life. For some, such genetic engineering would raise both moral and ethical questions; for the Fitzgeralds, Sara in particular, there is no choice but to do whatever it takes to keep Kate alive. And what it takes is Anna.

Kate (Sofia Vassilieva) and Anna (Abigail Breslin) share a bond closer than most sisters: though Kate is older, she relies on her little sister–in fact, her life depends on Anna.

Throughout their young lives, the sisters endure various medical procedures and hospital stays–just another part of their close-knit family’s otherwise normal life. Sara (Cameron Diaz), a loving wife and mother who left her career as an attorney to care for her daughter, is sometimes lost inside the single-minded caregiver she has become in her efforts to save Kate. Her strong, supportive husband, Brian (Jason Patric), is often rendered powerless and passive by his wife’s strength and determination. And their only son, Jesse (Evan Ellingson), drifts, at times all but forgotten as Kate and Anna take center stage.

Until Anna, now 11, says “no.” Seeking medical emancipation, she hires her own lawyer (Alec Baldwin), initiating a court case that divides the family and that could leave Kate’s rapidly failing body in the hands of fate.

AVATAR opens in theaters everywhere December 18.

AVATAR

AVATAR, a live action film with a new generation of special effects, takes us to
a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a
journey of redemption and discovery as he leads an epic battle to save a
civilization. James Cameron, the Oscar-winning director of “Titanic,” first
conceived the film 14 years ago, when the means to realize his vision did not
yet exist. Now, after four years of actual production work, AVATAR delivers a
fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary
technology invented to make the film disappears into the emotion of the
characters and the sweep of the story.

“Star Trek” follows the early days of James T Kirk (Chris Pine). A rebel who lost his father at birth and seems determined to ruin his own life. After a chance encounter with Captain Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood), he realizes his life is going nowhere. The Captain challenges Kirk to try to live to the standards his father did, who sacrificed himself to save thousands of lives. Apparently this challenge works and Kirk joins a group of fellow Starfleet cadets. Kirk obviously is a force to be reckoned with and when his antics in training are questioned he faces a suspension.

The greatest adventure of all time begins and Kirk being suspended or not, will be joining the other cadets on a young crew’s maiden voyage aboard the most advanced starship ever created: the U.S.S. Enterprise.  A journey filled with action, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind.  The revenge from the evil being is from the Romulans, who seek vengeance from Spock (Zachary Quinto), one of the most promising members of the crew and a torn individual. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals Kirk, a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy, and Spock, who was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion.  As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before!

“Star Trek” offered incredible dialogue, action, thrills and enjoyable tales anyone could enjoy. I was very concerned at first that viewing this film I would be lost, but was pleasantly surprised as it was easy to follow and I was not confused by any part of it. Chris Pine portrayed James Kirk flawlessly and offered a certain charm on-screen. Zachary Quinto had a spectacular performance as the detached Spock.  J.J. Abrams proves his masterpiece can translate into great work on the big screen. “Star Trek” was a fun filled adventure that all viewers will enjoy. Trekkies will be pleased with this film, and non-Trekkies will find it just as enjoyable.
