Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Let's put it this way: Cameron's films don't disappoint the fans.

Too often the work of other big budget blockbuster directors doesn't live up to the hype, but Cameron's movies always deliver!

Not everything has to be defined as "great art" except perhaps by the euro-mustard set. And here's some food for thought to go along with the condiment: too often films defined by "de uppa-crust" critics as superb artistic achievements suck pond water as entertainment.

I assess the value of a movie-going experience by whether the feature entertains me (first) and deserves repeated viewing (second). If the film communicates something enriching on a personal level (grey poupon "meaning" in the artsy-fartsy context), that's fine, but it isn't a prerequisite for entertainment.

If you don't like James Cameron's films, that's perfectly OK, but it's YOUR personal problem. Avatar has raked in over a billion dollars ($$$) worldwide and counting, and there is a good reason for that: lots of folks are excited about seeing this film and come away happy.

One final question: Why do you feel a persistent need to be the lead ant trying to raid the happy camper's picnic?

Concerned,
AuPh
