village of the giants is a 1965 science-fiction/comedy movie with many elements of the beach party film genre .

it was produced , directed and written by bert i. gordon , and based loosely on h.g. wells 's book the food of the gods .

the story revolves mostly around a chemical substance called " goo " , which causes giant growth in living things , and what happens after a gang of rebellious youngsters get their hands on it .

the cast was mostly teens , or young actors playing teens ; the beau brummels , freddy cannon , and mike clifford make musical guest appearances .

the movie was a low-budget exploitation film and not a huge hit ( released mostly to drive-ins as part of a double bill ) , but had some notable use of special effects and undoubted sex appeal , and went on to become a cult classic .

the movie proved far more successful years later , when released on home video .

if you want to watch a well made movie , this isn ' t it . ' village of the giants ' seems to be a b movie that was intended to attract young kids and the teen audience of the early 1960s . what you will find here is a poorly directed , low budget , movie with bad acting , cheap special effects , and a plot that goes no where . you ' ll see a lot of bikini clad teenagers , go go dancing to some mild , early rock and roll music played by the beau brummels . the camera does show a lot of cleavage shots and wiggling butts that surely was and is one of the movies main attractions . this movie was most likely considered a little racy for it ' s day . quite a bit of this movie brings up the anti authority , good teen versus bad teen issue . this is all very mild by today ' s standards . actually this makes it humorous in today ' s world and it can be mildly entertaining if not taken too seriously . it is nice to see ron howard as a child actor in this movie playing the part of ' genius ' . you ' ll also find a couple of ex mickey mouse club members in the cast .

the last airbender is a 2010 american action fantasy adventure film written , co-produced , and directed by m. night shyamalan .

it is based on the first season of the nickelodeon animated series of the same name .

the film stars noah ringer as aang , with dev patel as prince zuko , nicola peltz as katara , and jackson rathbone as sokka .

development for the film began in 2007 .

it was produced by nickelodeon movies and distributed by paramount pictures .

premiering in new york city on june 30 , 2010 , it opened the following day in the rest of the country , grossing an estimated $ 16 million .

the film was panned by critics upon release , with many reviewers citing inconsistencies between the plot , screenplay , and source material as well as deriding the acting , writing , casting , and dialogue .

however , some praised the visual style , james newton howard 's soundtrack , and the performances from dev patel , aasif mandvi , and shaun toub .

the film swept the golden raspberry awards in 2010 , with five " wins " including worst picture ; the film is sometimes considered one of the worst ever made .

despite the negative reviews , the last airbender opened in second place at the box office behind the twilight saga : eclipse .

produced on a $ 150 million budget , the film grossed $ 131 million domestically and $ 319 million worldwide .

it is currently the fourth highest grossing nickelodeon film , behind the spongebob movie : sponge out of water ( 2015 ) , teenage mutant ninja turtles ( 2014 ) , and the adventures of tintin ( 2011 ) .

( 2005 ) { the waterbending scroll ( # 1 . 9 ) } _ , when iroh holds up the tile he finds in his sleeve .
then there was the last airbender , by m . night shyamalan - a movie which may earn the title as the worst movie this year . from its inception ( pardon the pun ) to its sorry release , airbender has been dogged in the wake of controversial casting decisions . the graphic below neatly summarizes the controversy :
his first film in this genre , the last airbender , shows glimpses of the brash director behind chillers like the sixth sense and signs , movies that prompted newsweek to declare him
the next spielberg .
ever since he first came out of a block of ice in the nickelodeon cartoon series
avatar : the last airbender ,
the other tribes in his fictional , asian - inspired world saw aang and his power over the elements as their last chance for peace after a century of conflict .
while the fate of a possible sequel to
the last airbender
remains in doubt , the small - screen version on which it is based — the nickelodeon cartoon
avatar : the last airbender
— is getting a second life . mtv news has confirmed that the cable channel is prepping a sequel to its popular anime - inspired series , which ran for three seasons and ended in 2008 .

the avatar : the last airbender animated series and the last airbender live - action movie follow the epic journey of aang , the avatar . in an ancient world where armies of the four elements—fire , earth , water , and air—are constantly at war , the avatar , a master of the elements , is meant to restore peace and order . aang is the newest reincarnation of the avatar , and is also the last airbender , harnessing the power of air and wind . freed from a century - long sleep inside an iceberg , the 12 - year - old is responsible for saving the world and finds both friends and hostile enemies on the path to his destiny .
i am sure that i speak for many when i say one of the signatures of that amazing series avatar : the last airbender was the soundtrack . . . i would highly recommend the track team .
the cover for the lost adventures was taken from the first edition of avatar ' s own magazine , nick mag presents : avatar : the last airbender , [ 3 ] which ran during the show ' s original airing .

m . night shyamalan can ' t catch a break , even with something as seemingly innocuous as a live - action film based on the popular animated nickelodeon television series avatar : the last airbender .
while access was denied , word is shyamalan’s team has spent months constructing an elaborate fantasy world that’s to serve as the backdrop for “the last airbender , ” an adaptation of nickelodeon’s hit animated series .
it should also be noted and remembered that the last airbender is produced by nickelodeon and , as much as one may argue the cartoon series transcends it , created as a children ' s film .
m . night shyamalan has drawn fire for his casting decisions regarding his upcoming film , the last airbender . while most directors get crap over whether they casted a particular actor or not , shyamalan is being questioned for his decision to cast white actors in roles that are clearly not white in the source material , the anime avatar : the last airbender . speaking with io9 , shyamalan finally addressed the controversy :
mns :
their issue isn’t with me . their issue is with the artists that invented anime . the story of
the last airbender
is an ambiguous story . these cultures are not defined .
aasif mandvi , shaun toub and cliff curtis have joined the cast of m . night shyamalan’s the last airbender as fire nation characters , again confirming that the fire nation will be cast using people of color .
avatar : the last airbender ran on nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008 . during that time , the sopranos and the wire were still getting new episodes . walter white would not become heisenberg until after the final episode aired .

m . night shyamalan referred the sequel as
the last airbender 2
in an mtv interview . [ 1 ] mtv networks is a division of viacom , and a sister division to paramount pictures .
on my recent third viewing of the last airbender , i realized that the most important and affecting relationship on the show isn’t between aang and his powers , or his past lives , or his nemesis ozai , or even his true love katara . in fact , it has little to do with aang at all . the most important relationship on avatar : the last airbender is between prince zuko and his uncle iroh .
these are two forms of media that could have done extremely well with the brilliant , element - bending universe of the last airbender , but the property was butchered into something unrecognizable not once , but twice now .
sokka and katara were wwalking through the ice pole . suddenly they saw a terrible iceberg outgrowth from under the ice floor . after that a living boy came out from this iceberg ! he is the last airbender .
due to their unpleasant experience with the last airbender ' s production , the duo decided to write every episode of the legend of korra themselves to ensure it sure it was
done right .

the last airbender ’s narrative only spans the course of a year , but its audience had grown three years older by the time the final episode aired . that slow climb toward maturity comes across in the show , and in the characters themselves .

“bryan [ konietzko , cocreator and executive producer of avatar : the last airbender ] and i are excited for our fans to read about the further adventures of aang and the gang . gene is an amazing storyteller and gurihiru’s style is a perfect fit for the avatar universe . it has been a great experience collaborating with dark horse once again , ” said michael dimartino , cocreator and executive producer of avatar : the last airbender .
the last airbender
also represents a big gamble for paramount pictures . the viacom inc . - owned studio and sister company of nickelodeon fully financed the movie , increasing the risk should it perform below expectations . with a production cost of $ 150 million and a blockbuster - size $ 130 - million marketing budget ,
the last airbender
is more than twice as expensive as any of shyamalan ' s previous eight films .
lee noted that the “airbender” controversy has motivated tv fans to ditch the stereotypical couch potato slouch and campaign for fairness .
if a $ 53 . 3 million holiday weekend proves successful enough to keep m . night shyamalan around for a

“the last airbender’’ has had more bad karma than almost any movie deserves…the core fan base has been up in arms over the casting of white actors to play characters that on the show are anime - asian . ” [ boston globe ]
