Now we talked about good DVDs, let's mention what's coming soon theaters. Some coming in the next few months include A Single Man, Invictus, Crazy on the Outside, Prince of Persia, and Alice In Wonderland. I think the movie coming out soon that everyone's talking about is Avatar. I saw a 3D preview of it last weekend when I went to see Jim Carrey's A Christmas Carol. I have to say, it looks pretty awesome. I like a handful of James Cameron's films, specifically Aliens. What makes me curious though, is I wonder if everything is going to be in 3D soon. Clearly, I love 3D, however, I sort of wonder how this will affect the attitude toward smaller, independent films. On one hand, I think 3D helps the viewer feel to be more a part of the narrative. On the other, I feel it might distract what is interesting about the film. I'm pretty happy that the new Disney film, The Princess and the Frog is going to be hand drawn and in 2D, because I don't feel that there is enough of that.

I can't wait to see Jim Carrey's A Christmas Carol. I wait until school is complete because I have so much work to do.
I see what you are talking about with the 3D stuff. When I think about it though I sort of think of innovation in a way because films were originally in black and white, but eventually went to technicolor and then full color. For all we know the whole 3D thing could be another step in this sort of direction or maybe a branch off of this.
I'm really looking forward to Alice in Wonderland. I am a fan of Tim Burton's work (and Johnny Depp's), so that film caught my attention right away. A Christmas Carol looked interesting as well. I haven't seen many movies in 3D, so I don't really know what to think about that aspect of it, but the film looked really good.
I have THE WATCHMEN waiting for me once I file the last of my grades! Plus, my folks gave me a documentary called THE SOVIET STORY that is #2 on the queue...Then I have a blizzard of Estonian films I need to get to...
