The Super Bowl ad for director M. Night Shyamalan's latest film, The Last Airbender, is surprisingly appealing. The film is based on the hit cartoon Avatar and follows Aang, an "avatar" with the ability to wield all the elements: fire, water, air and earth, one of the last people who can do so. I was never a fan of the show and also have never been a fan of M. Night, but this short, sharp and shiny trailer actually looks rather interesting; not to mention some neat special effects for the element attacks. How it all comes together will be interesting to see (the test screenings have had mixed reactions), so to will be whether it gets the chance to be the trilogy Shyamalan wants it to be. But right now, check out the trailer and let us know what you think about M. Night's latest.

Everyone loves a bad movie every once in a while, they're fun to point and laugh at and joke around about. Some movies, though, are just so bad that they deserve some kind of an award for how bad they are. That's where the Razzies (or Golden Raspberry Awards, as they are officially known) come in. After the jump, you can find the list for their nominations for some of the worst films, acting and directing of 2009, along with some presonal commentary.

When we posted the Oscar nominees earlier today, we noted that one nomination in particular was especially surprising. That one would be The Secret of Kells for Best Animated Film, surprising mostly because no one I know has heard about it until now. It had received a short qualifying run last December, but a full-on theatrical release is being planned for this March. If nothing else, the trailer makes it look really cool. A very unique art design combined with an interesting story could make for a very cool piece of animation. Check out the trailer below:
