Original
I realized a few years ago that I own all first editions of the RVB dvds, the last time i got my RvB DVD's signed was at Comic-Con 2008 one of the last times the real cast of RvB were at comic-con, and i remember them all being amazed that my season 1 DvD was so old, even Gus said he didn't know they had even shipped any of that edition, apparently the logo on my season 1 is the original version and not the one they used in most of their season one distribution. ANYWAY, my point is, who else here has dvds of seasons 1-5 (before it became absolute shit) of Red vs. Blue?

Avatar Review
Summary
Avatar is a film about a tribe of aliens called the Na'vi who live on planet Pandora in the year 2154, humans have come to the planet to mine the mineral Unobtanium, which can supposedly help earth get through some energy crisis. The largest deposit of the mineral happens to be under the Na'vi village, and a hired military team wants to relocated them by force to be able to get the element. The main character Jake Sully, is a ex marine who was crippled in the line of duty, he was pulled into the Avatar program to replace his twin brother who was shot a few weeks earlier. The Avatar Program is where several scientists go into these pods which projects their mind into a scientifically grown Na'vi. On his first day out as an Avatar he ends up getting separated from the group and ends up in the Na'vi village. The Na'vi do not accept him at first, and want to kill him, however he is able to persuade them to allow him to learn their ways and become part of their village. He manages to learn their ways, falls in love with the tribe leader's daughter, and ends up mating with her. I do not want to give away too much of the story so i'll just tell you that after being accepted into the village he must attempt to warn them of the impending doom that mankind is going to bring to their village, and it doesn't go as planed.
Graphics
Avatar had exceptional graphics, the 3D was amazingly well done. At times i found myself forgetting what parts were 3D and what parts were not. However some things like the flying lizards, and the lion-like animal, were not as well done as others things. The parts of the 3d that I believe were the most well done were the landscapes, and the facial motions of the Na'vi, the waterfalls on and the rock textures on the landscapes were flawless, and the animators of this movie have earned much of my respect. The facial motions tell me that they must have used motion capture, which is much more commonly used now. There were few flaws i can think of apart from the ones i have already stated. Overall the graphics of this movie were almost flawless, and amazed me beyond belief.
Story
I enjoyed the story even though it was basically a ripoff of Disney's Pocahontas. Many people believe that the movie was an allegory for The War in Iraq, but I don't believe that, and I'd rather not bring politics into this, its a movie and its meant to be enjoyed. I thought that it was very well done though, I didn't understand how a planet that is mostly water has no oxygen in its air, but i will let that pass. The floating mountains I feel weren't needed, and were just put in as some way to make the battle scene more believable for who wins. I found it interesting that the Na'vi only had 4 fingers, to me it made it a more believable alien species, seeing as i don't believe all alien species would look a lot like humans. Also that is why i found it interesting that they were much taller than humans, in fact at times they looked almost twice the size. I do not thing that this movie lives up to the hype I have heard about it, and i have seen it in regular, 3d, and IMAX 3D, and i have to say its about the same no matter what, IMAX made no difference don't believe the lies. Overall I did like it, and I would recommend it.

Netflix
Something tells me that I have seen too many movies, and have way too much free time on Netflix.
Paranormal Activity Movie Review
From what I have been hearing, most of the people who see this movie think it is scary, or funny. I liked this movie, it’s the first horror movie made after the year 1979 to actually scare me. The last movie before this to scare me was the original “Amityville Horror”? from 1979, I saw it last year, and after that, no other movies could scare me. Until now with Paranormal Activity, I personally believe that when the source of fear in a movie does not have a face, or a body for that matter, it is easier for it to scare you. With no face or body within the movie, it always leaves your mind to wander. I do not want to give away the ending, so I will not describe it in any way, I am just going to say that it seems like a very common horror ending, and something that I believe is overdone. I also happen to know that this ending was added by request of Stephen Spielberg, I personally like the original ending better. If after seeing the movie, you would like to know the original ending, I must warn you that if you look online, it can be hard to find the original ending’s description; few sites that I found actually have it. Overall I liked this movie, to me it was 4.5 out of 5 star material..
