Grey Wolf- have you heard that Disney has plans to put an Avatar themed area into the Walt Disney World Park?

I actually read about this on Mugglenet, where the writers there seemed to be upset that Disney was piggybacking on the success of Universal's "Wizarding World of Harry Potter".

I havent actually - but it sounds like something that DWP would set up. They do have a plethora of possible themes to chose from.

Monsters- Giant octopus-like monsters from space occupy the northern half of Mexico and are in the process of spreading. The protagonists are an American journalist and the daughter of the media mogul he works for who have to try and get back to the U.S.

No, not what it sounds like- more an exploration of North-South Developed World- Third World/ illegal immigration issues. Really well done.

Seediq Bale:Warriors of the Rainbow- probably not coming to a theatre near you. The most expensive movie made in Taiwan, an epic ( uncut 4 hours; international release 3hrs) about an uprising in 1930 of a local aboriginal tribe against Japanese colonisers.

Possibly more beheadings than any movie ever -all historically accurate; my wife comes from a related tribe

. Mostly made with local non-actors. The FX are sometimes a little cheesy, but well worth seeing.

It doesn't pull any Avatar/Dances With Wolves style politically-correct glorification of the locals as Noble Savages either- the scene of the uprising shows the oppressed natives happily slaughtering every Japanese man, woman, and child they can get their hands on.
