Throughout this new year season, check out every cinema’s “most hit movie” list, you’ll find Avatar right there, on the top of the list. Looks like everyone is looking forward to this so called “epic” movie, since there’s so many applause and criticism, here’s a little introduction, as for the rest, you’ll have to find out yourself.

According to 20th century fox, Avatar is a story of an ex-Marine who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the indigenous people. More than ten years in the making, Avatar marks Cameron’s return to feature directing since helming 1997’s Titanic, the highest grossing film of all time and winner of eleven Oscars including Best Picture. WETA Digital, renowned for its work in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and King Kong, will incorporate new intuitive CGI technologies to transform the environments and characters into photorealistic 3D imagery that will transport the audience into the alien world rich with imaginative vistas, creatures and characters. The main casts are Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Sigourney Weaver.

And as many has said, It might be more impressive on a technical level than as a piece of storytelling, but Avatar reaffirms James Cameron’s singular gift for imaginative, absorbing filmmaking.

Well that all I’ve got, now rush to your favorate cinema and see for yourself!

There goes Christmas and here comes the New Year, it is really a happy time full of parties, balls and banquets. The season of celebrations I’d say.  So the situation here is we have to get our little one some fabulous dress for these happy events, which is admittedly not so easy as picking up our own dress. Then you might find this short article useful…

When searching for a special dress for our little one we were lucky enough to stumble upon the delightful creations at Velvet & Tweed.  Timeless dresses and classy outfits are their specialty. Very “Suri Cruise-y”, if you know what we mean.  Velvet & Tweed’s boys and girls designs are simple, elegant and have just the right about of detailing to make the clothes special, but not over the top.  We absolutely love the Liberty Holiday dress (which happens to be on sale now) with it’s lined skirt and bow…perfect for the winter celebration party scene.  Our tot will be wearing this gorgeous frock paired with some cream colored tights and shiny black mary janes.  What we like most about Velvet’s comfy dress up wear is that it’s made with care and style in mind.  From the shiny buttons to the ruffled collars, their winter line is what we want to dress our children in this season. Velvet & Tweed have an online shop for those of us too far away to shop in person…thank goodness.

Well get your mac and your credit card, and you’ll have this gorgeous dress for your little girl, maybe something more as a plus. Right, Mommies?
