James Cameron Ripped off Ferngully

Description of Ferngully from IMDb:

Ferngully is a rain-forest, it is home to a race of fairies who have never seen humans and believe Humans don't exist and only exists in stories. That is until the arrival of Batty, a wacky bat who tells the Fairies that he has seen the Humans. Curious, when she sees smoke from Mount Warning, a fairy named Crysta travels beyond Ferngully and discovers a group of humans is destroying the rain-forest. Crysta discovers a human named Zak who is helping destroy the rain-forest and accidentally shrinks him. Once discovering the beauty of Ferngully, Zak and Crysta learn the Fairies and Ferngully itself are in mortal danger, when the humans free Hexxus, a evil oil-like creature who along time ago was turned into a tree when he tried to unleash chaos in Ferngully and has taken over "The Leveler" a logging machine as he begins his evil scheme to destroy Ferngully and only Zak, Crysta, Batty, Pips and The Beetle Boys can defeat Hexxus and save Ferngully from destruction.

Let's sum this up: Human shrinks to fairy size to help fairy people save their rain-forest from evil entities trying to destroy their land and history. Um.....AVATAR, anyone?!?

Try again, JC. Ferngully was better. Did Tone Loc rap in your movie? Didn't think so.

Mick LaSalle Almost Gets it Right

Total agreement that Australia is a piece of garbage. No, it's the rat piss on the piece of garbage thrown out and left in the gutter to rot.

But LaSalle's review of Alien vs. Predator? Crazy wrong!

Replace AVP with Crash (also released in 2004) and now the list is complete. Remember that overwrought, over-acted, predictable, completely fake, self-indulgent movie that caused Hollywood to pee all over itself with glee? The Oscar winner times three?!?!? AVP kills Trash...I mean, Crash.

Alien vs. Predator not only saved the Alien franchise, tying together both the Alien and Predator movies, but appealed to those not the least bit interested in either. That's because it was funny when it needed to be, scary without resorting to excessive gore, and all around entertaining.

Why Hollywood Sucks

Hollywood sucks because it produces no good movies. I'll elaborate later.
