Finally came around to seeing Avatar. Though I can agree with the masses that the story can be followed by a 7 year old. There's something special about the film. Moments that take you back to that beautiful dream you had one night, only to awaken to a feeling of disappointment, to see that it was all a dream. Now I sit and wonder... was it really a dream ? :)

It left me with a great feeling. Oddly, one of hope. So I can't help but giving the movie a personal score of 10/10.

I guess there was a lot more to the story than it let off after all. :yes:

The Edge Of Never Showtime Documentary

Official Site: http://www.theedgeofnever.com/

Story:

Welcome to The Edge of Never.

The Edge of Never is a nonfiction book that follows the story of a young man, Kye Petersen, who travels to Chamonix, France, to ski the route that killed his famous, big-mountain skiing father, Trevor Petersen. It?s told by a has-been pro skier who joins forces with the late ABC News anchorman, Peter Jennings, to make a documentary film about the event. I set out to write a book that would stay true to mountain culture while offering non-skiers a timeless, human tale.

Here?s what a few reviewers have said about the book:

Transcending the boundaries of sport, the book tells a deeply interpersonal and moving human story. Yet Kerig stays true to the roots and core values that define the culture of skiing. ? Powder magazine

While the potential for clich?d ?So there I was?? adventure writing is great, Kerig avoids that pitfall with clear prose that delves into why skiers take such risks. ? Skiing magazine

The Edge of Never takes the reader beyond mountains, beyond snow and ice and danger and into the heart of family. ? The Wasatch Journal

[Kerig is] a careful observer capable of balance and fine distinction, able to celebrate a richness of life. ? The Tattered Cover Book Store

Ok, but nothing more... sadly. After all impressive trailers and cast expected something more. Thou movie itself felt flat, atleast it was beautiful and glamorous. Probably the best way to describe it would be "2 hour long Martini ad".

Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained.
