I'll make this short and sweet...Mr. George Lucas you have created a lush mythology that I loved as a boy. You improved the films with the special editions and wrecked the mythology with the prequels. To my surprise, you announced that you want to redo all six films in 3D. Please hand over the property before you further alienate us the fans.

 Here we are in a world that has now embraced HD television and the Blu-Ray format. A world where the greed of an entire generation almost put the entire world into the first global depression. What do we have to look forward to? Remakes - this is hollywood's attempt at still keeping a franchise viable, has a built in fanbase, if it fails you can charge it to timing, if it is successful it is genius. Reboots - same vein as remakes it breathes life into failed or lupe warm franchise. Sequels - bleed the idea until you guessed it remake or reboot stage. This is hollywood's simple business circle of life, 2010 is keeping this hope alive.

 Sony fresh with scars from the hd format wars, console wars, and their failed attempt at handheld redesign (PSP GO) now wants to push with the rest of the entertainment industry the 3D HDTV on you. Yes, now that black friday and the season is over and you are now trying to stomach paying $2,000 for a television - the future wants more money and another purchase. I hope this movement is stopped before it gets out of hand.

 Nintendo, the winner of the console wars so far has now ushered in this wave of motion control obsession from Sony and Microsoft. Why? It is novelty, sales have all but stopped in Japan and is slowed so bad here in the US that rumors of the Wii HD or next console is keeping the fan boys alive. Nintendo is failing because you still need the core gamers and 95% of games coming out for the system suck. I said it...suck graphically via a modern day Atari.

 

 Well all I can say is happy new year and let's see how the rest of this 2010 will treat us!

Due to whatever type of technical problems at MovieTome many movies that I've seen or not in the database or will not act as previous films that posted fine in the past so here we go:

 

1.) Gamer -  Rate 2 - The premise had some much promise yet suffered from poor execution.

2.) Paper Heart  - Rate 4 - I loved this film until it lost me in the final 25 mins.

3.) Old Dogs - Rate 5 - The entire theater was laughing and The last cameo of Bernie Mac !

4.) The Blind Side - Rate 5 - I loved this cliche sports movie !

5.) Love Happens - Rate 3 - Cliche and trite love story!

6.) Saw 6 - Rate 5 - I loved this and I think is the best of the series.

7.) World's Greatest Dad - Rate 5 - What a fantastic dark comedy!!!!Good job Bobcat!

8.) Julie & Julia - Rate 5 - I'm biased cause I can watch Amy Adams read a phonebook for an hour.

9.) Planet 51 - Rate 4 - An okay animated tale set if roles were reversed in the 50's-60's sci-fi!

10.) Bad Lieutnant - Rate 3 - Not good and not all bad, just I expected more from the actors.

11.) My Sister's Keeper - Rate 5 - A warm, moving family drama...just a very sad experience.

12.) Precious - Rate 5 - Wow! I'm glad I didn't have a mother like that........wow!

13.) A Cloudy Chance of Meatballs - Rate 5 - A refreshing animated tall that was equally funny and amazing.

 I'll write a more detailed Avatar review since I'm seeing more and more negative reviews since yesterday.
