Random Rambles: Movies

Is it me or does anyone find Avatar simply a 3D/futuristic version of Pocahontas?

Watching the movie, I was like... "heyyyyy, wait a sec, why is the plot so familiar?" But I am not saying the movie was bad. Just that the story seems a total rip off. However, it is a plus plus for the 3D well done. There were amazing effects and great characters modeling/rigging. In fact, it was astounding that they managed pull this off though I had a passing thought that it would be amusing to watch a 21st century version of Pocahontas.

On the other hand, Percy Jackson and the lightning thief was a really BAD!!! Other than the great effects, the story was pure stupidity. I mean a lift to Olympus (with kinna kiddy swirly effect at the back) ? Hades wife was a sexually-desperate native American? Hell under HOLLYWOOD (that was a little amusing)? the kid that recovered within MINUTES after his mom got killed and he find out his teacher was not human? Come on! You can do better than that!! All the slapstick comedy and those overused action sequence is not really appealing. Therefore, what a waste of money! Don't watch it!!
