Avatar is coming out on Blu-ray today and if there was ever a movie filmed to be viewed in the format, it’s Avatar. I quite enjoyed this film, sure it was long and a little bit derivative. I think the worst thing anyone could say about it is that it was Dances With Wolves in Space, and I ask you, “How is that a bad thing?” I love Dances With Wolves and I love space. So this worked on all levels for me. It was fun and immersive and a fantastic popcorn movie.

The next most important Blu-ray release today is Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report.  This was probably one of the coolest science fiction movies to hit the big screen in the last 10 years.  Tom Cruise, Colin Farrel and Max Von Sydow ignite the screen in this taut sci-fi thriller and I recommend it to everyone.

The last thing on the list today is Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones.  I haven’t seen it yet, and despite the fact that every single person I know who has seen it says it’s depressing as hell, I’m still interested.  I think Peter Jackson is a hell of a filmmaker and am always glad to check out his new work.
