FS Picks of the Week, Dec 15-20

Everyone's busy at the moment, right? I hadn't done ANY gift-shopping yet (well apart from the one for the office Christmas 'do). I can't seem to get myself to do it unless my birthday passes... which is TODAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Now that I've gotten that out of my system, I suppose I'll just admit that there's nothing much happening this week apart from the opening of Avatar. That's just as well, as everyone's busy doing other stuff to prepare for Christmas.





Avatar
Starring: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Sigourney Weaver
Synopsis: Avatar is the story of an ex-Marine who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the indigenous people. More than ten years in the making, Avatar marks Cameron's return to feature directing since helming 1997's Titanic, the highest grossing film of all time and winner of eleven Oscars® including Best Picture. WETA Digital, renowned for its work in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and King Kong, will incorporate new intuitive CGI technologies to transform the environments and characters into photorealistic 3D imagery that will transport the audience into the alien world rich with imaginative vistas, creatures and characters. --© 20th Century Fox
