I’ve seen a few of James Cameron’s movies, Titanic, Terminator and a few others, he is a man who could set almost anything on screen and make it EPIC.  First off I will say awesome graphics, maybe I should have used a better word to describe it but this is my true feeling. This is cinematography at its best. I admit at first I did not want to go to see it, but after looking closely and seeing my friends excited over it made me decide to go.

Here is my interpretation of the movie. There will be no spoilers as I do not want to take away your spirit to want to see the movie.

First off I saw a political side to this movie, and my hubby mentioned it to me while we discussed it after. Certain things that were said in the script had a political connotation to it, however that did not take away from the movie. Watching the movie in the IMAX 3D theater at the AMC made me see how advanced this movie was in terms of its use of technology. I mean 500 Million is a lot and Cameron put it all into good use. The whole movie from start to finish was color filled and after a while I forgot that it was 3D as I’d gotten used to the action on screen. My son however reminded me that it was 3D when he continuously tried to grab the particles.

The movie was practically predictable, as I had an idea of what was going to happen next. However, I was not bored to death because I was interested in the story line of Jake and how well he adapted to the Na’Vi. Even though you know what is coming next you still want to watch. As Dave said earlier we have sort of shied away from SCI-FI movies as they have gotten boring and its the same old alien mess. Cameron however is showing Hollywood that they have to step their game up in order to capture the attention of the audience. Their movies may not be as good as Cameron’s but that will force them to do better.

Back to Jake and the Na’Vis it is a world that was basically untouched. A world that has a niche that was connected down to the dust. A world that is only in the imagination yet it seemed so real. The characters seemed so real, everything seemed real, I even wondered if Cameron visited a world like that and it was his little secret. People are fussing about the name of the planet Pandora, for all I care it could have been named Tim-buck-two and it would not have made a difference. The way Jake adapted the actions of the natives, all brought the story together.

Jake’s brother Tom who was his twin died. He was a scientist working on the Avatar project, and since Jake is his twin their gnome matched so it was no problem fitting him to his brother’s avatar. The scientists and the military had two different agendas as the cooperation funding the project had one aim and that was to get the natural resources from the planet. At first Jake went in obeying orders but as he adapted to the natives, he began to see the evil around him. In turn for becoming one of them he betrayed the humans. He learned their language, how to walk and appreciate the forest. Having turned his back on the humans he created a catalyst to what was going to happen anyway. Destruction happened faster and was more brutal.

Even with a predictable story line Cameron still manages to capture the audience’s attention and there was never a dull moment. Kudos to Cameron.

Hey!!! I am still alive obviously . So here is an update, I have been reading constantly and I have been really getting things into perspective. For example….um…keeping away from twitter so I have been living twitter free for a week.

Alas (I sound like Edward) I have been caught up in the Twilight Saga. I am later than some and just watched the Twilight movie and decided to read the book.

*Disclaimer: This is only my opinion and I was not paid or received any compensation whatsoever to give this opinion.

Twilight: The movie gave no justice to the book, there were so many things missing. I got to know Edward better, and I also got to know Bella (very clumsy girl). It is an amazing book, a neat thriller, that you would want to read more. Very captivating I should say. Knowing that Bella caught the heart of Edward a vampire who stayed without a mate from the time he was “born” was rather interesting. The only thing I did not like was Bella’s constant clumsy ways that brought upon some unnecessary attention. If anyone was that clumsy I would tell them to seek help or some therapy for motor skills. Anyhoo it was a typical love story except for the Vampire part. After all the description of how perfect Edward looks I could just imagine him…not Robert Pattinson…someone else. It was exciting to wonder if Bella was going to die every time I turned the page. So Bella almost died because some tracker vampire named James caught her sent. What drama, so Edward the hunk of a vampire and his family the Cullens took good care of James. Bella was left pretty broken. That made me want to read the second book  more. Then Edward made me dislike him…what a coward .

New Moon: So after all of the heartbreaking and the misery and the going into one’s self, Bella finally realized that there was a world out there. Hey after what Edward did he wasn’t, all that anymore. I do not know why the knuckle head could not see that. Jacob was waiting for her to wake up, but its all about her Edward, I wondered why as the Alpha he was never imprinted sooner. Are they trying to tell me that it was fate?  It was really full of repetition every time Bella ended up in the hospital for every little thing, like she was so clumsy. Now I was caught turning the pages to see if Jacob and Bella would “hook-up”. Ah well that did not happen. She did find out that Laurent and Victoria two of the other vampires that were with James are after her. That was when she found out that her dear Jacob was a Shape shifter. I think that turned her on because she loved danger. *rolling my eyes right now* Apparently Alice the crystal ball saw Bella disappear and poor coward Edward went to Italy to kill himself. So broken hearted Bella had to go after him to stop him. That is when that cruel Edward came back .

Eclipse: So Edward is back and yes Bella  is actually torn between the two because one was hot and one was cold haha. That girl had issues you hear me. So Jacob is getting broken hearted because she cannot keep her hands off that “cold one”. Edward was mad because the mongrel wanted tabs on his woman. Come to find out she still could not stay away from either because she um…loved them both? So in New Moon Jacob and his pack killed Laurent, so now Victoria was still after poor clumsy Bella. Not only that Irina from the Denali clan was also mad because her Laurent was torn to pieces by those bastard shape shifters. Here goes, during this time Victoria decided to start making new vampires so that she could get to Bella and then she could kill the Cullens since they harmed her precious James. It was a big fight, man even Jacob got some broken bones. As usual the danger magnet was saved.

Breaking Dawn: Finally Bella and Edward got married poor thing I was happy for her. Again repetitions on her clumsiness. Then it took a twist that was just unrealistic. At least the other books had me wondering if vampires really exist haha. Sorry I had to just think it once. So anyhoo… They got married and did the usual…*cough* and BAM Bella was preggers (pregnant). The things is she had the baby within a month. In the process of all of this Jacob broke away from his pack to be with the Cullens because the Shape shifters wanted to kill Bella and the baby. Even Edward was scared. Then they realized what they had to feed her. That helped out a lot. Man it tore her up!!! Edward had no choice but to turn the poor girl. So now she is a vampire thank you to the most high because she stopped being clumsy. So here is the joke, you know Jacob was waiting to be imprinted right? Guess who it was…haha man that was so funny, perverted but funny. Bella has a fit when she found out haha Bella could actually kill him. Wow no more clumsy Bella. Even though Bella was a vampire that still did not mean trouble did not come a knocking. The Volutri wanted to kill that beautiful gifted child, mmm…they are powerful vampires who upheld the law. Bella showed her self out man she had them running. At least she did not need saving this time…finally!!!

***********************************************************************************************************************************

Basically the story line was ok but then it got to be too much with all of this Bella bringing danger and then the whole long tralala with her love triangle. It was just too much. I give my props to Stephanie Meyer. I don’t think I will watch the Twilight: New Moon movie though…I fear it might be chopped up again.

I have not been neglecting my blog lol…just working on another project one that is kicking my butt. Hey I know in the end that I will prevail yes and I will have more knowledge about something different. Especially with twitter…um…I admit I am a little bit addicted but heck everyone is too . That is my redemption that I have company too. Some who may not admit it and others who openly. So if you want to reach me try me checking twitter first @passionsista you might get a quicker answer. Now that is a shame haha.

So last week I finally got to see Slumdog Millionaire I have to say it was pretty good. Different is the key word. I loved how they actually made it look like everything that happened in his life lead him to win Who wants to be a millionaire. Sad to say that the story is true, there are children living like that, the only part is the ending is not so happy. It was just a great picture and deserved the awards they received. I love this song and it was on the soundtrack of Slumdog Millionaire.

Now this week I took the time out again to go to the movies. I saw Watchmen, Medea goes to jail and Friday the 13th. I need to get this off my chest, if you are not into soft porn (not that I am) or you cannot handle seeing someone else genital then Watchmen is not for you. I saw so much of Dr.Manhattan’s penis than I can count. Don’t even talk about the  love scene with those two, it was too much detail and too long for my comfort. Overall the movie was awesome, I’ve never read any of the comics for Watchmen, but the storyline was great, I had me waiting to see who was the killer of The Comedian.

Tyler Perry’s Medea goes to jail, as his other movies based on the show I loved it. Those the play was better. The movie however was more of a comedy mixed with messages. It had a lot of meaning even though Medea the outlaw did many things to make us laugh I believe the true lesson there was about Candace and how her life could be turned around from prostitution and living in the streets. That lawyer Linda wow I have to shake my head because there are really lawyers who do that, awful people.

As for the Friday the 13th movie haha I am embarrassed to say that I smho (screamed my head off). I regretted going to see it by myself. Wait I am not really scared of movies its just that I hardly see them on the big screen and seeing Jason popping out of nowhere gave me the sensation that he was coming after me. Haha great movie though.

So well last week was awesome. I am hoping to be much more productive *cough* if I am not on twitter that is and who can say that I won’t be. As it is not a competition I am really not bothered by how many follow me, I am just amazed at the number of friends I have come across, who are geeky as I am. So twitter is not all that bad (my justification). Later I hope to make a video on the phone tonight telling you about the features and things I have come to like about it. By the way I am used to the typing on screen, maybe a little flawed but I do type faster.

Oh and I did not forget International Women’s Day. I remembered my mom and aunt. The strong and powerful women in my life. They are the ones who molded me into the woman well some of  the concepts that I have. The other things mainly me. So Happy International Women’s Day!!!!
