I'm not sure how someone can not have heard about it.

I have heard of it, Just been way to busy to keep track of every movie release, surely I wasn't asking to much when I implied I would like a short explanation.

Some people :roll:

Sorry mate I wasn't actually replying to you.

It's about a bomb defusement squad in Iraq - it's absolutely gripping stuff.

sorry i'm not a movie type. I haven't seen too many movies

Ahh np, perhaps I jumped the gun.
I'm going to go rent that movie out tonight.

Has anyone heard of Hayao Miyazaki, His movies are some of the most beautiful things I have ever watched.

Maybe you should see more movies before you call Slumdog Millionaire 'good'.

Yep - I'm getting a Miyazaki tattoo actually. Some of my favourite films of all time.

Nah sorry, Slumdog Millionaire is spectacular, Whats the reason you people dislike it?

It's not even in the top five films directed by Danny Boyle. It's not bad it's painfully average.

Sunshine

and urghhhhhhh.....

I don't include the Beach, what a turd.

Who's seen 'The Town'? Gone Baby Gone was the last great film I saw.

Yeah, I'm a fantastic film, 8.3 on IMDB.

Just finished watching Wall Street 2. Enjoyed it, but one thing I found, don't know if anyone else did, but the last 15-20 mins seemed awfully rushed and a real let down of an ending.

When it was getting towards the end I was looking at how much time was left and I'm like "WTF how the fuck can there be only 10 mins left". Just a shit way to end it trying to sqaush everything else in. Apart from that though a good movie.

James Cameron is planning Avatar sequels in 2014 and 2015

JAMES Cameron will start writing the scripts for two Avatar sequels early next year, aiming to land the first one in cinemas four years from now.

Executives at 20th Century Fox have announced that Cameron has settled on two sequels to the blockbuster hit as his next film projects, with plans to begin production in late 2011.

The studio hopes to have the first of the as-yet-untitled sequels in cinemas in December 2014, with the third movie in the franchise following in December 2015. Like the first film, the sequels will be shot in 3-D.

Cameron will decide whether to shoot the films back-to-back after he completes the scripts for the sequels to his sci-fi sensation. Set on the distant Pandora, Avatar is the biggest modern blockbuster, with $2.85 billion at the box office worldwide.

“In the second and third films, which will be self-contained stories that also fulfill a greater story arc, we will not back off the throttle of Avatar's visual and emotional horsepower, and will continue to explore its themes and characters, which touched the hearts of audiences in all cultures around the world,” Cameron said in a news release.

“I'm looking forward to returning to Pandora, a world where our imaginations can run wild.”

Cameron had been up in the air on what he would do next, telling reporters as recently as last week that he had not decided whether to shoot another film before returning to his Avatar saga.

At an event a week ago to show off the technology used to make Avatar, Cameron speculated about how long it might be until the next instalment would hit cinemas.

“I made two very effective sequels in my career. One was Aliens, and one was Terminator 2. Aliens came out seven years after the first film. Terminator 2, seven years after the first film. I'm not saying that we're planning on seven years,” Cameron said of Avatar.

If Cameron meets the 2014 deadline, it will be just five years after Avatar arrived last December.

Avatar follows the adventures of a man in alien form (Australian Sam Worthington) who falls for a two metre, blue-skinned native (Zoe Saldana) of the distant moon Pandora, where greedy humans wage war over the land's natural resources.

While Avatar was set in the exotic jungles of Pandora, Titanic director Cameron plans to bring his love for deep-sea exploration into the next chapter, setting some of the action in the moon's oceans. He would not reveal plot details.

“That's classified,” Cameron said.

Avatar blended live action with performance-capture, scenes shot on a soundstage with actors in skintight suits covered in sensors that allow digital cameras to record their movements. Visual-effects artists later transformed them into the alien creatures and filled in landscapes and other details.

Jon Landau, Cameron's producing partner, said last week that they would only proceed with an Avatar sequel when the script and story were right.

“Jim has done a couple of sequels in his career, and both times he's done them, I would argue they lived up to at least what the first movies were,” Landau said.

The studio was anxious to get back into the Avatar business.

“We had no higher priority, and can feel no greater joy, than enabling Jim to continue and expand his vision of the world of Avatar,” Fox studio bosses Jim Gianopulos and Tom Rothman said in a statement.

Speaking of shit endings although not entirely relevant here, two series I was addicted to this year Skins S4 and Sherlock both had some very shit anti-climatic endings, Skin's is stuck there too as they recycle the cast but Sherlock has me wanting more
