Nuggets from the Nugget: “Avatar” and “Edge of Darkness’
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.
