It’s not surprising that the DVD of “Avatar” was released on today – Earth Day.  But sorry folks, I still don’t like this one.  The only thing that saved this movie from itself was the amazing 3D graphics.  So unless you have a 3D television it is simply not worth it.

Directed by Roman Polanski
Starring Ewan McGregor, Kim Catrall, Olivia Williams, Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Hutton
Heidi’s Illustrious Rating: 2.5/5

“Remember Me” is a poignant little film never intending to be major box office fodder, much less to bump a giant like “Alice in Wonderland” out of first place. So why all the scrutiny and pressure?
It happens to be the indy drama Robert Pattinson chose to shoot between New Moon and Eclipse; [...]

Rated PG
Directed by Tim Burton
Starring Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Crispin Glover, Matt Lucas, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen, Alan Rickman, Barbara Windsor
Heidi’s Illustrious Rating: 3.75/5
Word of Warning: This one is properly rated. Although it’s dark, partly due to the 3D glasses, I don’t think it would be terribly frightening for the [...]
