Avatar is a 2009 Americanepic science fiction film written and directed by James Cameron, and starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, Joel David Moore, Giovanni Ribisi and Sigourney Weaver. The film is set in the mid-22nd century, when humans are mining a precious mineral called unobtanium on Pandora, a lush moon of a gas giant in the Alpha Centauri star system.The expansion of the mining colony threatens the continued existence of a local tribe of Na'vi—a humanoid species indigenous to Pandora. The film's title refers to the genetically engineered Na'vi-human hybrid bodies used by a team of researchers to interact with the natives of Pandora. When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.
Aliens of the Deep is a 2005 documentary film, directed in part by James Cameron and filmed in the IMAX 3D format. It was produced by Walden Media and Buena Vista Pictures. Cameron teams with NASA scientists to explore the Mid-Ocean Ridges, submerged chains of mountains in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans that are home to some of the planet's more unusual forms of life. Cameron joins up aboard the Russian research vessel Akademik Mstislav Keldysh with a group of NASA scientists, as well as some American marine biologists, to investigate ten hydrothermal vents in both the Atlantic and Pacific. The vents have their own unique ecosystem, which support diverse organisms such as giant tube worms, swarms of blind white crabs, and vast amounts of shrimp which are capable of "seeing" water that is heated by the vents. These creatures do not require sunlight like other organisms, and instead obtain their energy from the vents. They are able to survive in the superheated and sulfurous water. Because of this, the documentary suggests that this is what life beyond Earth might look like. As some alien ecosystems are likely to be a lot harsher than a typical terrestrial ecosystem, these exotic vents provide an insight into some of the forms that alien life might take.
Ghosts of the Abyss is a 2003 documentary film released by Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media. It was Disney's first film produced in 3-D and was directed by Academy Award winning filmmaker James Cameron after his Oscar winning film Titanic. During August and September, 2001, Cameron and a group of scientists stage an expedition to the wreck of the Titanic, and dive in Russian deep-submersibles to obtain more detailed images than anyone has before. With the help of two small, purpose-built remotely-operated vehicles, nicknamed "Jake" and "Elwood", the audience too can see inside the Titanic and with the help of CGI, audiences can view the ship's original appearance superimposed on the deep-dive images. Also along for the ride Cameron invites friend and actor Bill Paxton who played Brock Lovett in the 1997 film. He narrates the event through his eyes. The film itself was premiered for IMAX 3D and was also nominated for a BFCA award for Best Documentary. The submersibles Mir 1 and Mir 2 carried the Ghosts of the Abyss team on twelve dives.

This is one of my favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger film. Harry Tasker is a sales Representative for a computer company, with a wife, Helen, and a daughter, Dana, with a house in the suburbs in Washington D.C. Or so everybody thinks. Harry is actually an agent of a private organization that hunts down any threats to the United States. While he is investigating a possible threat on the U.S., his wife Helen becomes lonely and starts to hang around another man, a used car salesman named Simon, so Harry secretly uses his organization's equipment to monitor on his wife and her new friend. Harry must also worry about the threat on the U.S. Meanwhile, a middle eastern terrorist named Salim Abu Aziz, has formed is own terrorist network he calls "Crimson Jihad" and they are threatening to Nuke the U.S. if they do not get what they want. So, Harry must stop the terrorists and hopefully, save his own personal life. Here's the film trailer.
Do you know who Ben Campbell is? Well, Ichan and I had a movie marathon together and one of the films that we've watched is the film called "21". Ben Campbell is the main character in the film. He is a very intelligent student in Boston who strives to succeed. He wanted to be transferred into Harvard School of Medicine but he just can't afford the tuition fees since he came from a very poor family. One day, his Math professor brought him to a secretive club who were trained of skill of card counting at blackjack. Since he wanted to have money, Ben joined the club. They go to Las Vegas almost every weekend to play blackjack and use their skills of code talk and hand signals. Ben won hundred of thousands because of winning Blackjack casino after casino. Then Ben and his professor had some issues about the money which causes a lot of troubles but Ben were able to surpass those challenges and fulfilled his goal.
Cousin Ichan is still here and were planning to watch another set of movies later on. Any recommendations?
Aliens is a 1986 science fiction action film directed by James Cameron and starring Sigourney Weaver, Carrie Henn, Michael Biehn, Lance Henriksen, William Hope, and Bill Paxton. A sequel to the 1979 film Alien, Aliens is set fifty-seven years after the first film with Weaver's character Ellen Ripley returning to the planet LV-426 where she first encountered the hostile Alien. This time she is accompanied by a unit of Colonial Marines. Aliens' action-adventure tone was in contrast to the horror motifs of the original Alien. Following the success of The Terminator (1984), which helped establish Cameron as a major action director, 20th Century Fox greenlit Aliens with a budget of approximately $18 million. It was filmed in England at Pinewood Studios, and at a decommissioned power plant. (reference Wikipedia)
The Terminator is a 1984 science fiction action film directed by James Cameron, co-written by Cameron and William Wisher Jr., and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, and Michael Biehn. The film was produced by Hemdale Film Corporation and distributed by Orion Pictures, and filmed in Los Angeles. Schwarzenegger plays the Terminator, a cyborg assassin sent back in time from the year 2029 to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor, played by Hamilton. Biehn plays Kyle Reese, a soldier from the future sent back in time to protect Sarah.Though not expected to be either a commercial or critical success, The Terminator topped the American box office for two weeks and helped launch the film careers of James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger. It received mixed reviews from critics upon its release, but later critical opinion of the film was more positive. In 2008, it was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry, being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Plot:
In a post-apocalyptic 2029, artificially intelligent machines seek to exterminate what is left of the human race. Two beings from this era travel back in time to 1984 Los Angeles: one is a Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a cyborg assassin programmed to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton). The other is Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn), a human resistance fighter sent to protect her. After killing two other Sarah Connors listed in the telephone directory, the Terminator tracks its target to a nightclub. Kyle saves Sarah from the Terminator's attack and the two make an escape.Kyle explains that in the near future an artificial intelligence network called Skynet will become self-aware and initiate a nuclear holocaust of mankind. Sarah's yet-unborn son John will rally the survivors and lead a resistance movement against Skynet and its army of machines. With the Resistance on the verge of victory, Skynet has sent a Terminator back in time to kill Sarah before John can be born, as a last-ditch effort to avert the formation of the Resistance. The Terminator is an emotionless and efficient killing machine with a powerful metal endoskeleton, but with an external layer of living tissue so that it resembles a human being.Kyle and Sarah are again attacked by the Terminator, leading to a car chase and their arrest. Lieutenant Ed Traxler (Paul Winfield) and Detective Hal Vukovich (Lance Henriksen) tell Sarah that Kyle is insane. Kyle is questioned by psychologist Dr. Silberman (Earl Boen), who concludes that he is paranoid and delusional. The Terminator attacks the police station and kills many police officers in its attempt to locate Sarah, but she and Kyle escape and seek refuge in a motel. Kyle confesses that he has long been in love with Sarah, having been given a photograph of her by her son John. Sarah reciprocates Kyle's feelings and they have sex.The Terminator tracks them to the motel and wounds Kyle. In the ensuing chase the Terminator is caught in the blast of an exploding gasoline tank truck. With its external flesh burned away, it pursues Sarah and Kyle into a factory. Kyle jams a pipe bomb into its abdomen, blowing off its legs and one of its arms, but Kyle himself is killed. Still partially functional, the Terminator drags itself toward Sarah by its remaining arm. She leads it into a hydraulic press, which she uses to crush it, causing it to deactivate.Later, a pregnant Sarah is traveling through Mexico. Along the way she records audio tapes which she intends to pass on to her unborn son John. She debates whether to tell him that Kyle is his father. A young Mexican boy takes a photograph of her which she purchases — it is the photograph that John will later give to Kyle. She drives on towards approaching storm clouds.
Terminator Official Trailer
Plot:
Off the coast of a Caribbean island, a couple flee the hotel to have sex in the sea. But they swim into a sunken wreck which is also a piranha lair. The next day, a group, including Tyler Sherman, are taking the diving courses provided by Anne Kimbrough, an employee of the Hotel Elysium's. One of her divers swims into the wreck, which she has strictly forbidden to her divers. Leaving Tyler to take over and lead the others to the surface, she discovers almost immediately that her 'missing' student has swam into the wreck and been killed there. Her estranged husband, Steve, a police officer, refuses to listen to Anne about her wanting to have a look at the body, because she needs to know what happened. The death does not seem to match the attack pattern by any of the marine life in this area, which she knows better than anyone. For her not to know what killed a diver is a dangerous sign. Steve intercepts Aaron, a dynamite fisherman, and his son, and threatens to confiscate their boat, but as Aaron explains, Steve, Anne, and he, are old friends. Meanwhile, as the guests begin to flirt with each other, a pair of women arrive on a large boat. By their own admission, they are sea bandits. One sneaks into the kitchen to steal food, but is intercepted by Mel, a cook. She flirts with him, and he offers instead to make her a wonderful dinner. But as he goes to their boat with the meal, they take the meal and then undock, letting the boat drift. They try to convince him to jump, and he tries, and fails, so they mock him and sail off. They sail too far out, and are attacked by the piranha, who have developed the power to fly.Worried about what's going on, Anne finds that she is being frequently bothered by Tyler Sherman, and so she takes him with her to the morgue. with Tyler Sherman o get a look at the body. It is revealed there that she became a marine biologist before she married Steve, and so she begins taking pictures. There, she finds that the bodies have been eaten in many parts. A nurse comes in, kicks them out, and ends up quickly dead, for a piranha was hiding in the body and escaped it. Armed with the power to fly, it kills the nurse and escapes out a window . . . In her hurry, Anne left her credit card behind at the scene. Anne and Tyler have a one night stand, but in the morning, while he sleeps, she begins to study the pictures, and is horrified by what she discovers. Steve arrives, throwing the card at her, angry first that she went to the morgue in defiance of him, and secondly that she has man in her bed. She tries to warn him of what she's discovered, but he ignores her and thinks she's a murderess.Anne tries to tell the managers that she's cancelling the dives because it isn't safe. He at first pretends to be concerned, but swiftly fires her, thinking she is crazy. Attempting to capture one for further study, or at the very least take some pictures so she can prove what she's trying to tell Steve and the manager, she is intercepted by Tyler, who swiftly informs her that he is a biochemist and member of a team which has developed the ultimate weapon: a specimen of genetically modified piranha, with some other fish's genes intermixed, capable of flying. Earlier, and unfortunately, the team mistakenly deposited (or lost) a cylinder full of these fish in the water where the dead couple were found.Aaron provides the proof Anne needs to Steve, calling him and showing him, not merely some flying piranha he's recently caught, and never seen before, but also that they're a serious danger, because they're turning on each other. This is a sign that they're running out of food and will soon attack whatever they come near, including humans. At a meeting, Anne tries her best to reason with the manager, to no avail. Steve surprises her, standing up for her and proving her case for her by throwing the body of a dead piranha onto the table. Steve tells her that she can't trust Tyler, because the army says he's crazy. She argued that Tyler's just been using her to get the message of the piranha out for him, to protect both himself and the residents of the hotel.Later on, a piranha attacks Aaron's son and kills him, leaving a bereft Aaron to vow revenge by killing the fish in the wreck they hide in. Anne tries to dissuade him, but it's too late. Having ignored Anne's advise, the manager hosts a fish party to capture grunion, who come up to the beach to spawn at this time, making them easy prey for humans to capture and kill. Unfortunately for the residents, the piranha are also partially grunion and share the same instinct . . . During the fishing party promoted by the resort, the piranhas attack the guests. Anne leads those who survive into hotel, where they shut the doors and windows. Aaron tries to attack them, but they overwhelm him.In the morning, the piranha withdraw, for Anne had discovered that they are not fond of light. Tyler and Anne decide to undertake Aaron's plan, and blow up the ship to destroy the predators. Meanwhile, the situation gets even tenser, for not merely can the piranha fly, but Anne and Steve's son has been hired, against their wishes, by a local ship 'Captain', and his lovely daughter. They sail away, and strand themselves on an island, leaving them vulnerable to piranha attacks that never actually happen. Getting lost at sea, they try to set sail again, heading straight toward the wreck . . .
Here's the Film Trailer
My sister and i were planning to watch Paranormal Activity 2 this weekend. I am a certified movie goer and i love watching horror movies the most. In fact, I have lots of DVD collection of horror movies. If there’s one thing to creep yourself out this coming Halloween other than attending a Halloween Costume party or joining a boring spooky storytelling session, i guess watching horror movies with your friends is the best one. I am actually looking forward to see a new dracula movie this year. Since movie creators are now fond of remaking films, I wish they will remake an original dracula movie. Well, i am referring to a Dracula here and not those Vampires from the hit film Twilight and tv show, The Vampire Diaries. Those vampires like Edward from the Twilight are like modern blood sucking vampires but for me nothing can beat the intense offered by real Dracula movies.
Stanley Kubrick should direct the movie of my life. Well, yeah i know i am acting so ambitious here but i just got this result after taking a fun quiz at blogthings.com. Well, i am so happy to see Stanley as the director. I am a big fun of this guy. I love his films like "the Space Odessey" and "The Shinning". Kubrick was noted for the scrupulous care with which he chose his subjects, his slow method of working, the variety of genres he worked in, his technical perfectionism, and his reclusiveness about his films and personal life. He worked far beyond the confines of the Hollywood system, maintaining almost complete artistic control and making movies according to his own whims and time constraints, but with the rare advantage of big-studio financial support for all his endeavors.
Stanley Kubrick Should Direct the Movie of Your Life |
 You are a complex, nuanced person - the type of subject Kubrick would have spent years studying. Your life has many interesting themes running through it, and you're no stranger to controversy. You are a bit of a recluse at times. No one truly understands you. You defy categories or stereotypes. You are influenced by many things, and it's hard to sum up who you are. |
Sad to say i missed out the cinema premier of Michael Jackson's "This Is it". However i have nothing to worry about it because the film is still running all over the cinemas. Good thing i still have my free cinema tickets that i've won few months ago! The film gained a high praise from MJ's fan. According to my friends who have watched the film already, they felt so sad as they see Michael doing his signature dance for hits like Billie Jeans and Thriller! The mood at simultaneous premieres around the world Tuesday and Wednesday was tearful yet celebratory. The film captures Jackson dressed with customary flamboyance, his fashion flourishes including military epaulets, sequins and gold-spangled pants. The film is nothing but spectacular!
Ofcourse im done with Harry Potter which is still showing in most cinemas. Im done with the Ice Age: the dawn of dinosaurs too in which i found it a little bit boring compare to the previous Ice Age film series but there were some scenes that will really make you laugh out loud.
Moving forward to local films, I just watched Villa Estrella last Sunday and know im looking forward to Ogie Alacasid and Judy Ann Santos movie entitle " Oh My Girl". OMG looks so familiar to me, hopefully they will make an original filipino concept for this comedy film and not basing it to Robin William's Mrs Doubtfire
Another Ogie Film to look forward is the Yaya and Angelina: The Movie. It seems that it will be more fun and enjoying knowing that Michael V is the one who protray the role of Yaya.
Another Comedy (i guess) is the Wapakman, i wonder how Manny Pacquiao will look like if he's wearing a superhero suit.
Another film to look forward to is the upcoming Erap-AiAi movie which is also a film debut for Aling Dionisia who will portray a mother role in the said film(no confirmed title yet)
Well going back to foreign films, im so excited to see the newest movie of Sandra Bullock entitled "The Proposal"
And i dont want to miss out "The Orphan" and im curious with the film "ALIVE"
For sure, my lil bro will love to watch "ASTRO BOY" knowing that it was recreated with higher and more enhance graphic than ever. Oh i should recommend you to watch "The Princess and the Frog" as Disney brought back one of their classic cartoon film. Amazing. Speaking of the COme back, here's Buzz light year and his cowboy partner in the upcoming "TOY STORY 3"
oh my there were so many films to watch i better buy Cinema tickets in advance.
