AVATAR!!!
Avatar pulled ahead towards the end of the week and has become our winner. Beating out WALL-E by 12 percent the message is clear that Avatar had a political agenda.
First of all, the movie was AMAZING. That is really the best way to describe what will probably become the highest grossing movie of all time. The world of Pandora was gorgeous and seeing it in 3d was an experience never to be forgotten. Despite how amazing the movie turned out to be, it was pretty obvious that the writers wanted to stir the pot a little in the environmentally political world. Humans are once again portrayed as people incapable of caring for their own world and so they must find other worlds to destroy as well. Also, the fact that the underlying destruction of the planet was because of money doesn’t make you feel good inside either.
Congratulations to Avatar for being not only the best movie of the year so far (yes I know it’s still January), but the largest environmental guilt trip also.

So it’s almost the weekend and you might be wondering how you are going to wind down and relax this weekend. Thatshowsucks.com is here to help you make some movie watching decisions to make your weekend as enjoyable as possible. We have three categories of movie watchers (going to the theater group, redbox, and netflix) to make sure that no matter where you are you’ll have some great shows to watch
Going to the Theater:
If you want to get out and actually spend money in our current economy here are the top two movies that everyone should see sooner or later (click title to see trailer).
I guess if Blind Side is still there that you could see that one as well, but everyone must see Avatar, you will not be disappointed ( just don’t pay attention to any OBVIOUS political agendas… )
Redbox:
If you are too lazy and not feeling like going to the theater than here are our two suggestions for you to pick up at your local unnamed movie-disposal box that may or may not be red.
First Choice: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Close Second: UP
Both of the above-mentioned movies are very classy and very well done. Even if you are not a typical 3d or animation fan you should still see UP.
Netflix:
If you can’t even make it to a local rental place or redbox, but have streaming Netflix at home via computer or xbox then here are a couple of winners for your night.
First Choice: Monsters, Inc
Close Second: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Both movies are not new releases, but hey if you wanted one of those you should have gone to the theater or movie rental store. I had to watch Mr. Smith Goes to Washington in college for history class and loved the movie and Monsters, Inc is by far Pixar’s second best movie ( UP beats it by a hair ).
Well we hope that you have a great weekend and that we have helped you decide what movies will help you forget about all your working cares.
Let us know in the comments section if you plan on or did watch any of these films. Also, any ideas for weekend movie/tv activities are welcome as well.\
