So now that you've had the chance to see James Cameron's self-proclaimed masterpiece Avatar starring Sam Worthington (who had an American accent for most of the film), Zoe Saldana, and Sigourney Weaver, what did you think?

Personally, I think that Taylor Lautner and his darling abs were completely exploited in New Moon, that being said, his body wasn't the only thing to develop from the first to second film, so did his acting. I was as surprised as the next non-Twilighter to see that Lautner actually does the best anyone could have done with the role and in a way, wins over the...

When DirectTV first started airing television ads that featured actors reprising famous film roles and breaking the fourth wall it seemed like a cool concept. Especially, when someone like Sigourney Weaver would step back into the shoes of a character like Ellen Ripley 20 years after the fact.

Now that the weekend has come and gone, it's time for the moment of truth. As we noted in our weekend box office post, Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are came in at number one with moviegoers trampling the competition.
