My Monthly Movie Thoughts in 5 Words and an open invitation

These are the movies I’ve watched this month and I’ve given each one a grade and 5 words to describe it.  There are two ways to actively participate.  One, if you’ve seen any of the movies leave me your 1-5 words in the comments and I’ll add them to the post.  Or, if you are feeling ambitious and want to do this on your own blog leave me a link in the comments and I’ll add it to the bottom of the post.   Of course,  you can just browse and enjoy too 🙂

On the upper half of poster are the faces of a man and a blue cat-like alien with yellow eyes, with a giant planet on the background and the text "From the director of Terminator 2 and Titanic" atop the image. Below, is a four-winged animal flying across a landscape with floating islands during sunset, with the title "James Cameron's Avatar", film credits and the release date at the bottom.(2009.  Cast- Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez) Grade B+ (3D version)

    I love the way you do this, and I may have to join in. I’ve been playing around with how to incorporate movies onto my blog, but unable to find a way I liked. Reviewing every movie I watch like it’s a book is a bit too much for me, but this whole 5 word deal is great!

    1. Loved every bit of the visuals. It’s amazing.
    2. Great story, very sad movie.
    3. Haven’t seen it but will try to this weekend.
    4. Totally didn’t like it, very disturbing.

    Avatar is one of the best movies I had seen this year (well, not that I’ve seen many but you get the point, LOL). It’s a pity that I didn’t get to watch it in 3D version.

      It’s nice to know that you still loved it. For me the story was okay, but it was the special effects that were amazing.
