Triple A… Avatar, Alice, Alchemy

 

Some say, Smurf berries can power the school for months!

By now, most of the entire world would’ve watched Avatar already. Or else, their $1.4B sales are from the fanboys.

I have a secret to tell you that might make you go blue.

I’m not going to comment too much on the film, since I’m sure you’ve heard a lot about it. What I do want to say is that I enjoyed the film and it’s 3D use is very subtle. Revolutionary in that after a while, you’re not aware of the change in depth.

James Cameron is excellent in his main genre of Sci Fi Action. Even if people do say the story is a cliche, I think it’s fine as new audiences, particularly the teens, would not go watch Dances with Wolves, Pochahontas or Fern Gully.  Actually, even I haven’t seen any of those films. The one film that Cameron’s Avatar most similar to me is The Last Samurai, but at least that film was more heroic and Cruise’s character was captured by his enemy instead.

If we were CGI, we’d get to make love on screen.

Now, everyone is hoping for an Avatar sequel… which really, won’t be about Avatars. Unless the Na’vi can jack in and take over other creatures’ bodies. The most logical followup story would either be A) The humans invade Pandora with Star Destroyers and a Death Star or B) We delve deeper into Pandora and it’s dark secrets and past.

Actually, if you think about it, the scene where all the tribes team up is basically 10,000 BC.

What should Cameron’s next film be?

 

Probably not World of Warcraft… Cameron doesn’t want Raimi’s dirty seconds and people would just mistake it for Avatar2.

 

I recently watched the new trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. Unlike a lot of people, I’ve known the new film is a live action contuation of Disney’s 2D animation adventure in Wonderland.

The mouse called and said we’re not going to be in the sequel.

Back then, this movie was way too trippy for me. Smoking caterpillars, invisible cats and screaming queens with flamingos as polo clubs.

And you know what? Tim Burton’s is just as trippy. I just hope that they’ll be some surprises in the film as judging from the trailer, it seems very similar to Prince Caspian.

Didn’t I see this garden somewhere before?

 

Trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. CHANGE PLACES!

 

If you’ve been wondering why I haven’t update for a while (not that I update often anyways…), I’ve been on a trip to Brunei and as soon as I got back pre Christmas, my family took over a restaurant in Chatswood, Sydney Australia.

It’s Modern Australian. At the moment, we’re still adjusting some nook and crannies with the new team. But I’ve got high hopes that the place will hit it off on the North Shore.
