Take 11: Avatar

When a movie gets as much hype as Avatar, I tend to want to run away as fast as I am able and not spend one moment of eyeball time on it.

The closer the Academy Awards got, the more I was curious.  And truth is, I didn't really want to like the movie.  So, I bet that last statement clues you in that I did like the movie.  I don't feel it was "all that"!  I do appreciate the effort that must have gone into the movie.  The story was interesting.  And with my own spiritual quest I feel I am on, I (as corny as others may think it is) appreciated the reminder to "see" others as the truth of who they are as children of a Divine Creator.

Since I am probably one of the last to see this movie (except perhaps my own mommy), I don't feel I really need to convince anyone to see this movie or not.  I am simply tossing in my own two cents worth. 

To quote a character from the Academy Award winning Best Picture, Forest Gump, "that's all I have to say about that."
