Edgeofdarkness_smallposter Avatar Telluride's Nugget Theatre has "Avatar" as a return engagement and opens "Edge of Darkness" for the week of February 19-25.

James Cameron's "Avatar" creates its own world and philosophy and will undoubtedly take home a basket of Oscars. It is worth seeing for a number of reasons: compelling story, great special effects, just to see what all the fuss is about. Rated PG-13.

Mel Gibson has to take on the corporate world and the US government single-handedly in "Edge of Darkness" to learn why his daughter has been murdered. Not surprisingly, the movie is rated R, for violence.

See below for showtimes, and the Nugget website for reviews and trailers.
