This week on End Credits, we’re heading back to space, where no one can hear you sigh. Yup, we’re going back to Pandora and all it’s imaginative creatures and landscapes in James Cameron’s newest, Avatar: Fire and Ash, and while we’re on the subject of Cameron, we will take time out to rank all 10 of the director’s movies so far, up to, but not including, the latest one!
This Wednesday, January 14, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:
Ranking James Cameron. Since emerging as a talent in the 80s, there has been no one like James Cameron working in movies. Technically sophisticated, meticulous in detail and always working on the biggest possible canvas, Cameron has bet big on himself every time and has almost always beaten the odds and the house. So to begin this show, we’re going to rank his 10 (official) movies from Terminator to Titanic and his two deep sea documentaries.
REVIEW: Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025). It’s time to go back to Pandora. Since the last time we were on this mysterious world, the Sully clan were irreparably changed in the wake of a family tragedy and the growing war between humans and Na’vi for the planet’s precious resources. Avatar: Fire and Ash though introduces us to a new tribe of Na’vi, ones that may like to buy what the human invaders are selling. In this third entry in his highly complex, and highly lucrative, franchise, is there still space for James Cameron’s epic sci-fi parable or shall we call it a trilogy?
End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
