It’s a good day to be James Cameron. The director of The Abyss and Avatar successfully manned a solo submarine to the bottom of the Mariana trench. No one had ever done that before. The timing is good because the world is gearing up to recieve the Titanic in 3D. This is James Cameron’s very […]
Deeper than the abyss; the hadal depths
Film maker James Cameron may die. He’s going to be at the helm of a one-man submarine that’ll sink 7 miles deep into the Mariana Trench. This is the deepest point of earth and it’s an entirely scary proposition. He’s a brave man. The adventure is part of a National Geographic (sponsored by Rolex) series […]
The Legend of Korra trailer
I enjoyed the first book of the Avatar series and haven’t seen any more yet. Never got around to the movie simply due to being busy and all the negative reviews telling me it wasn’t worth the drama of trying to find some time for it. The show has clearly moved on. It looks like […]
Avatar: Collector’s Vault 3D is the perfect Christmas present
Avatar: Collector’s Vault 3D is more than a book. Sure, it’s classed as a book but the hardback comes in a cardboard box sleeve, comes with 3D glasses, comes with pull-outs and cards. It is a fully 3D book; not just because you can use the glasses to turn the pictures into semi-3D images but […]

Avatar 2 will invoke The Abyss
In 1989 a Mr James Cameron directed the Abyss. It stared Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Michael Biegn and Leo Burmester in an underwater adventure. It wasn’t Alien, as it was a kinder, less scary movie but it did feature aliens and invoke that feeling of deep space. As it happens The Abyss was set […]
The Na’vi’ people of Hometree Wisconsin
There’s LARP and then there’s LARP. The first, of course, is Live Action Role Playing and now we have Live AVATAR Role Playing. This timely mockumentary is worth a giggle. It doesn’t actually have much in common with LARP (except the set design budgets) as the actors in this short are playing people who feel […]

Avatar letting Ubisoft down? Rethink needed
The film Avatar is doing exceptionally well. It picked up some Golden Globes last night and now people are even talking about it as an Oscar contender – and it’s still a sci-fi game. The problem may be with the Avatar computer game. The one created by Ubisoft. The one that cost the French games […]
