Ok, I was hugely skeptical when I went to see the new Avatar movie. The trailer made it look like a poor attempt to ride off the coattails of the Avatar: Air Bender show. But that perception couldn't have been farther from the mark.

Not only did the world of Pandora wind up being a feast for your senses, but the story was actually well developed.

Even though computer animation still isn't quite up to the task of creating a 100% realistic character, it was close enough and the characters were very likable... and I must admit Neytiri was hot!

Though the movie is almost three hours long, you will come out of the theater satisfied and full of wonder. This is a must see for any scifi/fantasy fan!

Man from where?Erik_Schubach   Posted: 2009-10-20 20:24:23   Updated: 2009-10-22 14:39:28

Rolling back the time machine to the 1970's there was a show starring Patric Duffy that had me glued to the television every week, the Man From Atlantis.

He was a mysterious man with gills and webbed hands and feet who had no memory who was found on a beach.

He solves mysteries as he hunts for the answers as to who he is. He has the ability to breath water and swim at an incredible rate. He possessed great strength in the water and got weaker the longer he was dry.

Even though the show doesn't hold up too well to today's standards, it was an iconic show of the time.

So why do I bring this show up over 30 years after it's inception? Warner Brothers has released the pilot episode on DVD as an exclusive on their Archive Collection website. Woohoo!!

So if you will excuse me, my copy just got delivered today and I'm going to run off to watch it now! If you want to see a show that was a sign of the times, order yours today.

Hey... These Robots are in Disguise!Erik_Schubach   Posted: 2009-06-29 08:22:40

I took some time this weekend to see, Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen at my local cinema. I was a big fan of the first one. This one wasn't as smart or funny as the original, and the plot storyline was whisper thin... but, it was still a great thrill ride that kept hammering you with pulse pounding action.

The comedy relief sequences were almost non existent but the action sequences were worth it. One spectacular battle sequence in which one of the main characters falls will leave you stunned.

So even though the plot can pretty much be summed up in two sentences and there was a lack of imagination with the script... Revenge of the Fallen is a treat for the senses and you will be blown away by the special effects. This is a true summer blockbuster that you can't miss if you just want to be entertained.

I give this one a 7-10 and recommend that you check it out if you like explosive action.
