The Last Air Bender

The Last Air Bender falls victim to what many movies based on existing story lines do; trying to please the already existing audience while leaving everyone else out in the cold. The writing was cheesy and rushed which made the story difficult to believe, and the acting subpar. The special effects were interesting but did not make up for the content that was lacking.

Cyrus

Cyrus is real peak into the lives of a couple. Showing us the awkward and dark happenings of a new relationship, complicated by a son that wants nothing to do with it. Yet through it all there is so much humor to be found. While there is a level of uncomfortability, we also get to see a side of the human condition that is not normally looked at, and how the painful truth can set things right.

Inception


Christopher Nolan has proven himself time and time again, but if you were still unsure of his abilities to write and direct Inception solidifies his talent and proves that he is here to stay. This mind boggling film takes us deep into the conundrum that is our dream state, and just as you think there is no way out, we are brought up for a fresh breath of air and a film that sets itself apart from everything else out there. If you let yourself into this world you won't be disappointed.
