AVATAR is no masterpiece. But it's truly a great spectacle with eye-popping visuals and gorgeous photography. Problem lies in the story, which is disappointingly derivative.

Going to Manhattan and spent a fortune buying the following DVDS: CHILDREN OF PARADISE (1945); THE SAMURAI TRILOGY (1954-1956); LAURENCE OLIVIER SHAKESPEARE CRITERION SET; and BAMBI (1942). It feels good to be a consumer. XD
