Story: An injured Marine named Jake Sully travels to a forest-like planet named Pandora to recieve a new body: that of a human-Na'vi (Pandora's inhabitants) hybrid. The Na'vi are blue with tails and stand about 9 feet tall. They are considered primitive but, unbeknownst to humans, are actually more advanced. The Na'vi's land is being encroached upon by the humans and Jake, in his quest for a healthy body, has unwittingly become a part of that. War ensues...
This movie is touted to be the future of movies: effortlessly combining 3D graphics and new filming techniques. I can't wait until it comes out!

Another film, Inglorious Basterds, has been making headway lately as an interesting differing view of the discord between the Nazi's and the Jews... it is Tarantino's vision of what should have occurred...
He has even somehow managed to make a lovable Nazi character... interesting...
Tarantino is a bit of a genius...the film centers (so it seems) around a premiere of a Nazi propaganda film set to inspire the soldiers. The trailer for this film has actually been released (Viral Marketing at its finest!) and is garnering much hype (and discontent...):
Looking forward to finding some time to catch these...if you get 'em first shoot me a review in the comments!
