Got hold of these DVDs this week.. :)

Despicable Me

Watched this 2010 American computer-animated 3D comedy film from Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment that was released on July 9, 2010 in the United States already..

I absolutely love it! :)

It is such an awesomely cute, adorable, hilarious, absolutely entertaining, beautifully artistic, "art-house" animated production!

It is no wonder the film earned positive reviews from critics, and grossed more than $500 million worldwide, against a budget of $69 million.

A must-watch! :)


The Last Airbender


The Last Airbender is a 2010 adventure fantasy film released on July 1, 2010. It is a live-action film adaptation based on the first season of the animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender.

The Last Airbender was produced by Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies. Development for a film began in 2007; it was adapted into a film by M. Night Shyamalan, who also directed and produced.

The Last Airbender was made for $150 million and marketed with a budget of $130 million, making total costs at least $280 million. Premiering in New York City on June 30, 2010, it opened in the United States the following day, grossing an estimated $16 million.

The Last Airbender opened at the top of the box office, and eventually grossed $131 million domestically and $318 million worldwide.

Despite the fact that critical reception was very negative, criticizing the writing, plot, acting and the low quality of the 3D conversion.

I personally feel this movie's visual effects were stunning!

Highly Recommended! :)
