Movie Review #4:
Titanic Real D 3D (limited engagement 4/4/2012-4/6/2012)
I was born in 1994, this movie originally came out in 1997 and I was only 3 years old at the time, so I couldn't watch it in theaters, but I'm sure the rest of my family did. I've seen this movie about, may be, three times in my life (counting today it marks my 4th time) because as many of you know this movie played on cable and also the fact that my mother has this on DVD, and lets face it what grown woman does not have this movie, oh yeah Amish Women but forget about them they are missing pure greatness that is technology.
But today I can finally say that I watched Titanic at the movies and it was even more magical and spectacular because it was shot in REAL D 3D, and all the action shots were simply amazing. The beginning of the movie was twice as eerie and scary because the camera was going so deep into the ocean and you can see the tiniest bits of the ocean's particles flying at you whilst looking at the GHOSTLY SHIP that is TITANIC!!!
No matter how many times I watch this film it always makes me cry when Jack (Leonardo Di Caprio) dies at the end of the movie. Leonardo always dies in movies, I guess that's what makes him so amazing, he has a great talent for death scenes, I mean, "Hello people have you seen Romeo + Juliet!!!" Kate Winslet who played Rose was just magnificent as she always is in her films.
My other favorite part of the film was its theme. "MY HEART WILL GO ON!" Brilliantly sung by the beautiful Celine Dion. It is the greatest love song of all time and the most epic. After all the song did win an Academy Award. Speaking of Academy Awards, in 1998, Titanic won a total of 11 Oscars, including BEST PICTURE.

TTITANIC is still the highest grossing films in cinematic history besides AVATAR which was also directed by James Cameron. Titanic will forever be in my heart and I pray for the lost souls who died on that dreadful day which lies in infamy:
