The Last Airbender
by Ronald A. Rowe November 25th, 2010 | Action, Family, Movie Reviews
The Last Airbender is based on a Nickelodeon animated series called Avatar: The Last Airbender (A:TLA). The film adaptation omitted the word Avatar in deference to James Cameron’s billion dollar box-office monster of the same name. The TV show was popular in its three-season run from 2005 to 2008.
Unlike most children’s shows, which are episodic, Avatar is one three-season long story told in sixty-one episodes. The success of A:TLA surely must be at least partially attributed to the show’s appeal to both kids and parents. A:TLA was one of those rare shows that the family could sit down and

Directors Troy Duffy, Jonathan Hensleigh, and F. Gary Gray, explore this question in The Boondock Saints, The Punisher, and Law Abiding Citizen, respectively. The results, in at

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
by Kaitlin November 19th, 2010 | Action, Movie Reviews
Warning: caffeine-fueled ramblings ahead. I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows last night at midnight. If you've never had the opportunity to go to a midnight release, I highly suggest you do. The atmosphere is unlike anything I've ever experienced at typical movie screenings. I've also seen the 6th Potter installment (Half-Blood Prince) and the third Pirate of the Caribbean film at midnight, and all three experiences were fabulous. Everyone is so enthusiastic about the film, and the excitement (and sleep deprivation) gives the audience a common bond.
