First Trailer for James Cameron's 'Avatar'
Seeing it online, I'm not that impressed. I have to see it on the big screen at the very least, but I'd like to see it in 3D on IMAX to make a true determination on how this looks!

RIP John Hughes (1950-2009)
The legendary John Hughes, the director and writer who shaped most childhoods and teenage lives of those of us that grew up in the '80s with the likes of Weird Science, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and The Breakfast Club, passed away earlier today from a massive heart attack. He was 59, and even though he hadn't really been relevant in a while, he will be sorely missed!

First Trailer for Peter Jackson's 'The Lovely Bones'
I never read the book, but the imagery of this is amazing based on what was shown in the trailer! It has been on my must-see list for quite a while now and the trailer didn't disappoint. The only possible problem I have with it is in the male lead, Mark Wahlberg. *shrug*
