OK- I’ll just post. The opening scene- driving into the wilderness/mountains to find the tree- there’s no terrain like that anywhere near the Chicago suburbs. When Clark gets combative on the road with the rednecks in the beat up truck- not smart to do things like this with your family in the...
Avatar is one of my first BluRay purchases- I figure it would be a good demonstration of what improvements BluRay has over DVD. I watched 45-50 minutes, then gave up- couldn’t hold my interest. Don’t know if I’ll ever give it another try.

Requiem For A Dream- just no fun to watch. The poster board for depression.
It would be the right film to show to a young...
