's a very jam-packed week, which is a sure sign that the holiday shopping season is now underway.

More than six months its movie-only release, finally gets feature-filled 3-disc release, which contains not one, but THREE versions of the movie, as well as over three hours of special features.  Hopefully, this has been well worth the wait. 

The other Avatar (as in ) is also released this week and will probably end being the first M Night Shyamalan film I don't purchase.

We also have the release of Disney's A Christmas , which is one of a large assortment of 3D-compatible Blu-Rays this week.  I can almost here the ads “2D Blu-Ray was SOOO last year! Throw that dinosaur out and buy the 3D model, along with a compatiable TV!!!!!.”  Ah hem…on to the picks.

My Thoughts: Absolutely atrocious dialogue, filled with oversimplified concepts and mystical mumbo , has made this my least favourite of Shyamalan's films.
My Recommendation: Skip It
